The late Great Robert Dunlop









Here are some trackday images from Pete Wyleman who takes photos at No Limits trackday events. Oulton Park was fantastic on the cbr600rr it handled beautifully and combined with the sticky tyres made scrapping my knees easy.


Can i just send out my deepest sympathy and condolences to the family of Robert Dunlop who was tragically killed in practice for the North west 200 on Thursday. Robert was the brother of the late great Joey Dunlop who was killed in 2000. I was in Ireland at the time and attended his funeral with 50,000 other people. It was a very emotional event and both Robert and Joey are two of my heroes. A family of really down to earth motorcycle racers. Roberts son Michael Dunlop paid a moving tribute to his late father today by winning the 250cc race at the North West 200.
Goodbye Bob you will be sadly missed.
