thats also sad matt, these road racers are a special breed and i presumed micheal would take on the family mantle especially after his win in the 250s in the nw200

the NW200 just wont be the same without the Dunlops racing and winning there, I was there in 2004 and these guys are something special.. to do 200mph on a public road speaks for its self.............

Road racers are mental, more mental than the superbike guys. I have oodles of respect for every last one. From the privateer through to the work riders!!
