Slowlycatchymonkey Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Sad NewsDo any generation of Dunlops get discouraged from Racing? How many have died on 2 wheels now? I don’t know that much about them apart from they’re a talented racing family. Would it be inappropriate to ask about their history? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowBusa Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I don’t know that much about them apart from they’re a talented racing family. Im same as You....I dont know enough about the family, except more than a couple have died following their dreamsAlthough I did watch a Documentary about the Dunlops a few year ago, I cant remember that much about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Racing is in their blood, they know the risk but can't ignore the pull of the race.It's super sad there's another Dunlop in the racetrack in the sky though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im same as You....I dont know enough about the family, except more than a couple have died following their dreamsAlthough I did watch a Documentary about the Dunlops a few year ago, I cant remember that much about themVery short mumbled history as it's been a long day.Joey and Robert Dunlop brothers.Joey most ever wins at the TT and very talented road/short circuit legend.Robert lots of wins at NW200 and other road races. Also very talented 125cc short circuit racer.Joey dies in an Estonia road race.Robert dies at the NW200.Joey leaves 1 occasional road racing son Gary.Robert leaves Micheal. William and one other none racing son.As we know Micheal now very very successful road racer.Williams won a hell of a lot too but never the TT. He always said he disliked it.RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why he left the TT during practise week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
