THE KING OF THE ROAD

ESTRAGGO DAL MIO VECCHIO SITO MI TREMANO LE MANI:



















SE CONOSCETE BENE L'INGLESE MA SOPRATUTTO SE VI REGGONO LE CORONARIE LEGGETE QUESTA:

The poem that Donna Dunlop read in the church for her father



To Daddy
To people you were a number 1, to me you were a daddy
To people you were a quiet person, to me you liked to party
The smile of yours was real, nothing there was false
The knight in shining armour was always in a rush
The yellow helmet stood out bright, The number 3 there to
The Honda always shone out light but you always remained so true
Now you know why John called you the gurk
On that face you have that smirk
Up the paddock you'd go for a walk
But then the folk would start to gawk
You hated the publicity, you liked to go your own pace
The only thing I have to say, I know you loved to race
The only thing you ever wanted was another Formula 1
You sure showed them you could do it by giving them your 24th win,
The light is on, our hearts are pumping,
On the grandstand we are jumping
The racing was your life, you just couldn't stop
But then again, why should you have done
Because you were the top of the plot
At the Ulster last year there was an awesome fight
But you sure showed David Jefferies on the RC45
Our lives will never be the same, in our hearts you will remain
Deep in thought and in our laughter
Because we know you were the master

We never thought this day would come when we had to say good-bye
But the memories I have of you, God I wonder why
You were simply the best
And we know you were better than all the rest
The only thing I'd like to say is
That you Sir Joey are all the way.
Achievements
Joey's list of achievements was quite extensive, the TT was undoubtedly his favourite so I will list it in its entirety . The rest, in no particular order will just be shown as total wins . Of course we cannot forget that he won the Formula 1 World Championship every year from 1982 to 1986 inclusive . If I have missed any, then I apoligise . He had raced in 19 countries around the world and has achieved more than 220 road race wins .Isle Of Man TT

[jobbas]

[Fede.R1]

Leggendario Joey............... sempre nel cuore.........

[TWO*stroka!]

una leggenda.

[Ace31]

A parte le qualit? del pilota/uomo e l'emozione nel vederlo in azione, ma.... ha attraversato in sella 20 e passa anni di evoluzione motociclistica !

[kaciaro]

un amico una volta mi disse ma perche' non metti anche le foto della sua statua al 26miglio del tt,ho risposto quella e' l'unica prova tangibile che JOEY sia morto e non voglio ricordarlo cosi' ma come la sua fantastica figlia DONNA DUNLOP nel suo lancinante e pieno d'amore documento,dove esce fuori tutto il sentimento per il suo amatissimo padre
JOEY anch'io ti sento nell' aria ti sento ovunque........
rimarrai per sempre quell' esempio di bonta'e schiettezza....
mi manchi tanto....

[MrPippo]
