Just been sent this and the hairs on my arm stood up
Re: be still my beating heart
Great picture. Must have been pretty intimidating having Joey Dunlop and John McGuiness breathing down your neck!!!
Im a huge fan of Stephen Davisons work (not sure who took this pic) and just love bike racing photography. Thanks for sharing

Leslie Moore Steve, think he is/was BBCNI.
Re: be still my beating heart
What a picture! The skill needed to get the smaller bikes round without relying on pure power always amazes me. The momentum carried and the corner speed is unbelievable. My 'smaller bike' hero is Ian Lougher. Met him at the Centenary TT and came across as a very nice fella indeed.

Steve, thought this may be of interest. Gary Dunlop, Ryan Farquhar and Phillip McCallen from Sat morning.
Re: be still my beating heart
label attached, makes for sad reading.
Re: be still my beating heart
Thats some line up! Love the fact than these guys are true legends with courage and skill in bucket loads but are still grounded and very happy to talk to those who are interested and fans of the sport. Most are very humble, honest gentlemen, confident in their skills but not cocky or bullish (unlike some motorsports).
I think the best guy I ever had the pleasure of chatting with was William Dunlop. I met him in a quiet corner of the pits at the Gold Cup races at Olivers Mount in Scarborough in 2008. He was working on his bike, on his own (most of the race goers were queuing at John McGuiness motorhome waitng for autographs). He really was a lovely guy to chat to and had all the time in the World for me. It really meant a lot to me and I will always remember that evening with fondness.
I was genuinely upset when I heard of his passing at the Skerries, doing what was in his blood. An amazing young man who was a credit to the sport and his family.
When Ryan was at his peak is probably my favourite era of TT racing and around the time I regularly went over on my bike.
Thanks for the great pics. I cant open the attachment for some reason but will keep trying.
Cheers Steve
