- William Joseph Dunlop OBE (25 February 1952 - 2 July 2000) was a Northern Irish motorcyclist from Ballymoney. He won his third hat trick at the Isle of Man TT in 2000 and set his fastest lap on the course of 123.87 mph in the Senior race, which he finished third. In 2016 he was voted through Motorcycle News as the fifth greatest motorcycling icon ever, behind Valentino Rossi.[citation needed][1][failed verification] His achievements include three hat-tricks at the Isle of Man TT meeting (1985, 1988 and 2000), where he won a record 26 races in total. A curve at the 26th milestone on the Isle of Man was named in his honour

The best ever.. ever. A humble loving man and the beast in competition
Never have I witnessed so many grown men in bits.
Most of us were ok, until his daughter read out her eulogy.
Such a solemn day and so many big names in attendance, but a fitting send off to the King of the Roads.
Well said🏆
I didn't know you were into bike racing Drifty. You might recognise my name !
It's rare to be a legend before you are gone, Joey experienced that during his lifetime.
Not just an incredible talent….but more importantly, an amazing, humble and kind man. 🙏❤️
King of the roads forever ❤️
This fella was racing the TT on the Isle of Man in the early 1980s, incredible rider.
And the 70’s, 90’s and even had a few wins in the yr 2000 too :)
Yea I forgot to add when we were on holidays
I remember I was on the Isle of Man that day never got to see him and have photo taken with him we all miss you joey 🥹🥹🥹🥹
The word 'legend' is bandied about, but Joey was a 'true' legend! Not just for his wonderful victories on the roads, King of the Roads, but for his charity work. All on his own, in a van and sometimes with his bikes in the back, but always bringing aid and comfort to so many less fortunate than ourselves. This is what makes Joey a legend. Thank you Joey and God bless you. ❤🙏🏍🏆🏁
I remember the exact minute the very sad news of the announcement of Joeys death n i was one of the 50,000 that day
❤️🙏❤️
A great man😢
🇮🇪💔💔🥺🙏🙏
In all honesty, I spoke with my best friend this morning and told him I watched this motorcycle video from Ireland, and then I almost fell down when he asked me if they mentioned his first cousin, a guy named Joey Dunlop..........he recalled when he bought him his very first Guinness when he turned eighteen. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Very good memory love the guinness
