Sad weekend



	Sadly, I thought all of us would not like to know about this from my
friend Martin Fay.

     Jack, Marc, In case you haven't heard, It's been a sad weekend for
the Irish motorcycling community.
     
Joey Dunlop, the Northern Irish road racer was killed while racing in
Estonia on Sunday afternoon.
     
Joey was aged 48 and was the longest serving Honda factory rider. He was
5 times world champion and had 26 victories in the Isle of man TT.
     
Yesterday, he had already won the 600cc and Superbike classes. He was
leading on the second lap of the 125cc race when, in bad weather
conditions, his honda left the road and hit a tree, killing Joey
instantly.

It's sad for the sport to loose a champion of Joeys stature but even
more so for his wife and five children.
     
     Martin
