K1874M Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Killed in an accident yesterday in N.Ireland..... Came off at 160 doing what he loved, even worse to think his brother was killed 8 years ago in an accident. Thoughts to his family and 3 kids. A TT Legend.

K1874M Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Speed kills It cand do yes. And your point is? So - no need to turn a thread that fans do care about (wont name them but sure they will be on) in to one about speeding. A sports legend has been killed maybe you dont care but I do as my family knew him well and I'm sure others will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How they could do what they did in the 1st place I've no idea. Especially after Robert lost his brother, had a massive wreck himself at IoM and still got back out there. Anyway, RIP Robert.

K1874M Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 large sets of balls in the Dunlop family. How they could do what they did in the 1st place I've no idea. Especially after Robert lost his brother, had a massive wreck himself at IoM and still got back out there. Anyway, RIP Robert. Well said, remember reading a few years after Roberts massive crash in 94 that he almost retired but couldnt help himself. Hope his laddies dont get the fear.... that family is prob one of the most successfull sporting families known. My uncle died in the TT and theirs something warming knowing that he died doing something he loved, knowing full well of the dangers.... Hats off I say.

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 It's tragic. The Dunlops were down to earth blokes despite their amazing records. RIP Robert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
