Amazing reading! In addition to better understand who was Fabio Amazing reading! In addition to better understand who was Joey Dunlop you will have a magnificent view from the world of roadracing in public roads.. Joey Dunlop, His Authorized Biography I've been a subscriber to Cycle News in the US for many years. My original subscription was for Cycle News East, for those who know, this was quite a few years ago. Before cable TV my only information conserning moto racing on the "Continent" was through these pages. My only connection to racing on "The Island" was through a man by the name of Eddie Labelle, a well respected racer himself in his community, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA who spoke quite res. "Factual and nicely produced" according to Doctor Evans. This is a factual review of Joey Dunlop's career. It is a very nicely produced hard back with great photos. It is probably a must for any Joey Dunlop fan. However, it is not anywhere near as absorbing or personal as "Joey Dunlop, A Tribute" by author and TT winner Ray Knight. Now that is a fabulous book!!!!You cannot get it on Amazon yet 9/2002, but you can get it at [URL]Keep the shiny side up!
