Excuse me Conq and all the administrators, but these ********ers should be hung by the eyelids and kicked in the nutsack till they blink.

Not necessarily because he is a motorcycle hero, but to anybody who would do this to any memorial.

bastards.

That is pretty lousy. Maybe it was someone from the Isle of Mann sick and tired of these guys coming in and making a ruckus once a yr?

Horrible act.

The suspect list would be interesting if they are looking into everyone that he beat on a track.

From what I know of the Emerald Society where I work, the drunk, rowdy Irishmen ARE the cops.

There are some things people do that I will never understand.

abtech · 05-13-2004, 4:14 PM

This really bites.

Here is a shot that Proto took of it last year, he made a point to stop to see it.

Dunlop Memorial

Damn this blows, no respect

I hope they find the $%&*# scum and punish them good.

From the BBC article:

Quote:

Sinn Fein assembly member Philip McGuigan said: "Those responsible for the attack on the memorial garden to Joey Dunlop need to reflect long and hard about their actions.

Reading between the lines I think that the young scrotes that did this might find a couple of IRA members taking aim at their knee caps with a pistol. That'll be the end of their football careers.

Joey Dunlop had only one fault regarding his riding career, and that fault was mostly mine. I could never understand a word he said...and that was the fault.

He could handle a motorcycle better than anyone on that course. He owned the IOMTT. He was beyond bravery. (Would anyone of us sanely ride that race on todays bikes knowing there was no runoff on most of the course???)

His spirit and desire spit 'winner' whenever he spoke (when I could understand what he said), and deservedly so.

His motorcycle race record stands forever. He was among the best of the best in motorcycle racing. I was truly saddenend when he died, as were many others,...enough to have funded and erected the memorial so blatantly destroyed.

It is my opinion that whoever did this was not a motorcycle enthusiast. More likely political, religious, envy or any other worthless reason made a dumbass, retarded, bigotted piece of

do this.

No matter how you look at it, the scum that did this only affirmed the fact that he, she or they are lower than the maggots that feed on dead horseshit.

If there is a true effort to rebuild the memorial by a nonprofit org, please anybody, let us know. I pledge to donate.

I also volunteer to give a good asswhooping to the juvenile little shits that did this.

That makes me sick.

Why would somebody do something like that?

I would like to put my foot so far up their ass, the water on my knee would quench their thirst!

AndyL · 05-14-2004, 9:31 AM

Quote from the article from Joey's mum: "They are only scum, anyone who would do the like of that."

Too right.

cbr99xx · 05-14-2004, 10:54 AM

That's disgusting.

The IOM is on my list of places to visit and J. Dunlop is one of the reasons. One can only hope that these vandals are caught and punished.

mu-shim · 05-14-2004, 12:50 PM

Probably the action of some sad-minded, one-braincell bigot who thought Joey had the wrong religion/politics/name/haircut....

it's sad, because Joey was admired by folks of every political shade in the north of ireland, he was one of those guys everybody loved to love

The Motopilot · 05-14-2004, 1:13 PM

Unbelievable. Someone needs to be pimp slapped.

CBRVFR · 05-14-2004, 5:02 PM

Joey was such a marvelous rider and obviously such a good man that no one could ever do anything to tarnish his name.

He was so superior to the human waste that did this, that the oportunity to reflect on that, in a way, only brings more honor to "yer Man".
