Joey Dunlop was an Irishman who became a global motorcycling phenomenon. largely due to his performances at the most dangerous race in the world – the Isle of Man TT. He went on to win the TT 26 times and in the process set a record that no one has ever broken – or is ever likely to break.
This is a new documentary about Joey that focusses on his exploits at the Isle of Man, it includes a broad range of interviews with friends and fellow racers, and it offers an interesting look into the life and times of one of the fastest men to ever climb onto a bike.
Ben has had his work featured on CNN, Popular Mechanics, Smithsonian Magazine, Road & Track Magazine, the official Pinterest blog, the official eBay Motors blog, BuzzFeed, and many more.
Silodrome was founded by Ben back in 2010, in the years since the site has grown to become a world leader in the alternative and vintage motoring sector, with millions of readers around the world and many hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.
