Indeed. It's felt to me like Robert Dunlop was living on borrowed time
and he made it to 47 which is not a bad innings. It looks like this
accident was a mixture of machine failure and bad luck and not really
anything to do with road racing. Just like his terrible accident at the
IoM all those years ago.
Losing Finnegan and Dunlop in the space of a couple of weeks hurts.
Raise a glass of Guinness to them both.

I watched the bbc news segment on Robert last night.
I was wondering if his kids would race.
It made sense to me that they would.
I am happy to hear he won the 250 race.

Re: Robert Dunlop
Dr Reid reminisces:
> Contradictory advice from my Dutch holiday pal. :-)
Amy the Wonder Wife handed me a box of pics about 3 months ago
and told me those pics were in there for sure. I looked at every
dang
one and didn't find it. I'm sure we put it somewhere where we
couldn't
lose it.
Go fast. Take chances.

I suppose he won't mind, given that it's now public knowledge, but Champ
had a fairly serious off when he was lying in 3rd place at the South Jurby
race. He's a bit broken, and is expected to be out of action for some
weeks.
If you (or anyone here) have his number, then you can send a text, but
he's not responding to many. However - please do not phone him.

Agreed, hope he's healing fast and fully. I look forward to hearing from
him on RMR soon.

Presumably Neal was born with his unfeasibly large testicles rather than
the swelling being a result of crash bruising...
All the best, heal soon chap.
