Question

Following my ? about Rossi,at the I.O.M.Who was/is the best Islander?I think" Mike the Bike.or Bob Mac."

Answer 1

As you specifically ask only about the isalnd then it has to be Joey - no question

Answer 2

JOEY DUNLOP WITHOUT A DOUBT

Answer 3

I never saw either Hailwood or Bob Mac ride, however in recent years who can discount Joey Dunlop or David Jeffries?

Answer 4

As my fellow race fans have said, it's Mr William Joesph Dunlop M.B.E.

No doubt a legend at the TT.

Not just for his total race wins but the way in which he did it.

One race, an RS125 then 20 minutes later a full factory RC45 World Superbike Spec monster.

Yes I know greats like Hislop / Mad Phill Mac and even of late, John Mc, change bikes, but nothing like Joey.

Mike " the bike " Hailwood will always be " The Bike " but its a shame that so many of records are falling. I its not Rossi beating them, its now John Mc matching them.

I guess records are just there to be broken.

The real question is : Can John Mc now beat Joey ?

Answer 5

Neither of the above.Joey Dunlop 'King of the Mountain',26 wins.

Answer 6

Giacomo agostini.Was the best.

Rossi does not ride at the T.T.races.

Answer 7

I have to say Past Joey dunlop

present  John Mcguinnes

Personal favourite Phil Mcallum

Answer 8

Hailwood definitely

Answer 9

Joey Dunlop was the greatest  

Answer 10

There is only ONE

"The Maun" Joey Dunlop. not only the most wins, in more classes but he was to the IOM as Rossi is to MotoGP

A one and only true legend

May he rest in peace

Brothers together once more
