Off Topic, But great M/C movie on Netflix
10/19/15 10:38 AM

If you have Netflix, there is a really good Documentary Movie about the Dunlop family,
really worth watching if you haven't seen it. it is called "ROAD"

I like a quote from Michael Dunlop about racing, (and motorcycle riding in general)

"I don't expect them to judge my life, because I don't judge their lives,"

"So I don't care what people think. The media wants to write stuff but they have no idea of what road racing means to riders deep down."

"Unless you've experienced it, it's not possible to describe what it's like."

Ride safe all ...

Watched it last night. Pretty well done, especially the ending, but they could have been a bit more upbeat and showed more positive aspects of the Dunlop brothers' racing careers and lives. Hopefully the youngsters will know when it's time to hang up their race suits.

I was a huge fan of Joey and as a father and my kid wants to ride this movie was heartwrenching. I will never watch it again.
