Time hasn’t diminished Joeys incredible legacy , god bless. Still king of the mountain.

Aye,Joey's contribution to the TT, and road racing in general, will never be forgotten.
Proud to have been his team mate, and shared a rostrum or two with the great man.

pleased im off a age to remember the story rather than just know about the great man via all the media
ill never forget the day the news broke

Smooth, efficient, tidy and fast on the bike. Knee deep in spanners and bits in the paddock. Enjoying a well earned pint in the beer tent. Loaded up on supplies and driving across Eastern Europe to
an orphanage.

Everlasting memories of a special man.

Agreed.

Joey 's sad death was one of those things where I remember exactly where I were and what i were doing when I heard the news.

I'd walked into the house from work and the news was on the tv.... I couldn't believe it, it felt impossible.

Joey was the reason I went to watch my first tt, back in 1986... To see the great man in his famous yellow helmet.

I'll never forget.... I'm of the generation where Joey will always be sadly missed.

So grateful to have been fortunate enough to have seen Joey race at the TT over many years. Thank you Joey and RIP.
