    Unhappy RIP Robert Dunlop

    This came across the news last night. Tragically his life ended just like his brother Joey Dunlop, both were great Isle of Man competitors...

    RIP Robert.

    I had always been facinated with the TT. After seeing it in person in '05 I have even more respect for the racers that compete in these types of races.

    The course for the NW200 makes the TT Mountain course look like a wide, safe racetrack . Godspeed, Robert!
