No, not good.
I'd like to think he went out doing what he loved (which I'm sure is true) but when a young family loses it's father it's a crying shame. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

I think he said something similar after his old man bought the farm.
It is a pity that his new kid will never know it's father, but (without wishing to sound harsh) that is the game he and his partner signed up for and he lived a life many people would be enviable of.
Can't help thinking a similar fate is in the post for his brother, he seems to have a few more screws loose. |
Seems a bit harsh but William seemed like the nicer, saner, less grumpy brother. Michael is no doubt talented, but he also seems like a bit of a pratt a lot of the time. I wonder if some of the prattishness is because he actually does expect to die on a bike at some point...? It's a very interesting and yet disturbing exercise in psychology. |
I'll be quite honest, unless it's something freakishly unlucky (Henry Surtees getting fatally biffed on the bonce by someone else's loose wheel, springs to mind) I find it difficult to work up huge sympathy for people who get killed/maimed while regularly competing in highly dangerous sports.
Motorcycle road racing surely falls into the category of most dangerous sports on the planet and every rider must know that and learn to live with it, otherwise they would never throw their leg over the bike.
Michael Dunlop seems to have that ability to push to the absolute limit, even in circumstances where other similar talents might back off a tad, but quite often when I watch, I get the feeling he's not quite as in control as others are.
Every year I watch the TT and every year I'm waiting for the announcement that he's joined the choir invisible and he seems to ride like he's half expecting it. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

Reports are the Abbey bells have been ringing.
Maybe resuss worked.
Maybe he was just shedding his skin.
He's always been dead to me.

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 5 years, 320 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
