A tragic accident which happened to the best family around. They are an amzing family and My heart goes out to them! He was a small man with a huge heart, great personality,talent and much more. Im sure he was a great brother,father,husband,son,friend and is a legend. Him and Joey are the best! Knowonw will ever be better. Wel done To his boys for racing and Michael to win, theyre lovely people and it was evident that Michael Won that race for his Dad. Long live the Dunlops! Rest in Peace Robert, you are a star shining over us. Never ever Forgotton. ): xxxxxxxxxxxx

Terrible personal loss to your family and friends, and the loss of an admirable and inspiring sportsman for the rest of us. You died doing what you truly loved, and that's the sort of ending we all might wish for. You won't be soon forgotten.

Robert achieved greatness like Joey by being the best at what they were.In the process, they united Ireland North and South in awe and admiration as well as, unfortunately, mourning.May we learn to live as well as you raced.

colin bulpitt
my thoughts are with roberts famliy he will be with joey now racing again what a family

mark taylor
my heart go,s out to the family of a great man god bless.

M and R Smyth
Where does one start at a time like this, words are so inadequate. We watched the practices at NW200, and saw you go past. Also in April at Cookstown 100, you were really enjoying your race, way out ahead of the rest. Motor cycle racing will not be the same without you out there on the course. On race day, the atmosphere was really sad, as we all had our memories of you in our hearts, your achievements and the enjoyment you gave to us watching. Your two brave sons William and Michael were very much in our thoughts also, as they went out on the warm up lap. Then for Michael to race and win the 250 cc, well Michael it took your strength and courage to put a spark back in our hearts and give us something to remember and hope for the future of the sport. Our thoughts are with the entire Dunlop family circle at this very, very sad time.

Neil Ridge
Our Thoughts with the Dunlop family, God bless Robert and thanks for making all our lives a little brighter

Philip Tarry
I didn't know him until the nw200 was showed on BBC today and I watched in awe as his son won the race. Inspirations to us all… triumph in adversity.

Mrs.David Price
My sympothy to your family and friends, we never met..but my heart is with you

Paul Smith, Dublin
I've watched Robert and the Dunlop family race since they first began road racing in the 70's. Robert was destined to be a winner. He was passionate about racing and determined to compete and win. My condolences to his family, close friends and colleagues. A true champion !

David Kerr
Was sickened when i heard the terible news of Roberts death. A small man, but huge in talent when it came to road racing. He had many lows throughout his racing career but always fought his way back, showing the legendary status of the Dunlop name. For William and Michael to line up on the grid come race day was unbelievable enough but for what Michael achieved was just awesome and I am sure I wasn't the only person with more than a tear in my eye. All I can say is how sorry I am for the Family that this tragedy has happened and that time itself will ease their broken hearts.

KJ Harrington
God Bless! Huge respect and good for you Michael. He will be so proud!!

I first started taking notice of you when you were riding the J.P.S. Norton. As the commentator said,"here comes the burnt match". Since then I have had the utmost respect for you and Joey. My condolences to the entire family.Michael abd William showed immense bravery and respect to their late father in having the courage to ride in the 250. Michael was almost superhuman the way he rode and won the race. Robert would have been filled with pride. Thanks for the memories "wee man".

John & Shirelle
A great loss to both motorbike racing and Ballymoney. The Dunlop's put our "wee toon" on the map. Hope your sons find the strength to keep the Dunlop name on the front row of the grid. Rest in Peace. Joey and you together again!!!

So sad to hear that another rider has lost their life. Hopefully he trusted in the lord so he is not another lost soul in the world. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. That whosoever believe in him, should no perish but have everlasting life.

Cassy
Robert, i really miss you you were one of my heros! I love bikes even tho i am a girl! You were one of the best riders i knew and so was your brother Joey, I know that your sons will follow in your footsteps and i am sure you were proud of your son Michael when he came first but you were also proud of your other son William because it doesnt matter if you come 1st, 2nd, 6th or last because it is the taking part that counts. May your soul rest in peace and your sons and your wife know that you will be looking over them everyday everynightGod Bless xoxoxoxo

2008 has been grievous with the loss of the fastest IOM Irishman Martin Finnegan and now the late great Robert Dunlop. Michael's 250cc performance on Saturday was the first NW200 race witnessed by my 12 year old daughter, surely a legendary feat that no-one will ever forget. These men did more for the peace process in Ireland than can be measured. RIP Robert and Martin.

What a hero robert dunlop has been to the nw200 in the many years he raced and gave his best in becoming the ulitmate talented motorbike racer, his legacy will live forever, my deepest sympathies goes to the dunlop family and extended family members michael is the number one racer of saturday the 17th 2008 when he won the race in a great tribute to his great dad robert.

Gary Rees
I think the Dunlop Family deserve a big THANK YOU, from the people of Northern Ireland for putting it all on the line. The Dunlop name will always be respected for the quiet way in which Pride was brought to Northern Ireland even in the darker years. Even non racing fans such as myself appreciate that. Thank you and Gods comfort to you!!x.

Derek McCorkell Minnesota USA
Deeply missed Robert a great loss to the racing community our condolences go to the family at this time

Oscar
Goodbye Robert. Thank you, together with your brother Joey, for the enjoyment you brought me when I saw you race. My thoughts are with your family. I trust that you and Joey are again racing in the great circuit in the sky.

Gary Cummins
I cried my eyes out when Joey died and now i find myself in the same position again,my sympathys to roberts family.God really has the best motorcycle team now.

Gerald J Tate
A very sad ending to a hero of the road.Who done his talking through his throttle.And though injuries plagued him most of his career.We Robert never lost his bottle.And now he's up there, Joey by his side.As they race along through Gods highways.And years may pass and race's won.But there's no one will replace those Dunlop days.So we'll say farewell with sadness in our hearts.Cause' now we've lost another son.And like Joey you just cannot be replaced.Now your job down here is done.

JOHN Armagh
May your racing continue with your brother Joey and all your friends in Heaven.YOU'RE SUCKING DIESEL NOW!

John P.
The Dunlop legend lives on through the family. Deepest sympathy to those left behind.

David
As a kid I remember going up to my caravan in Juniper Hill every May and watching the Dunlop boys do battle. It was always incredible stuff and I have so many memories I'll never forget. First with Joey and now you gone, our wee country has lost another true great. My dad told me of a conversation he had with you in Monaghan in 1995 as you rehabilitated from the terrible accident you had at the Manx TT. He could only describe you as a real gent. Rest in Peace Robert, thanks for all the great times. My sincere condolences to the family circle.

Tommy bridewell

R.I.P Robert :( Tragic lossGONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN

Michael Shelmerdine
I'm so sorry to hear of Roberts tragic death ... in a sport known for its dangers, it remains no comfort to the Dunlop family, who already know first-hand the devastation that can happen. Yes, he died doing what he loved, but yet he still cared for his boys and was a fine example to all around him. A total tragedy.

Stuartie P
They always say meeting your heros is a disappointment, couldn't be further from the truth with Robert. Met him about 10 years ago and he was warm, friendly and funny. A true legend not just in Northern Ireland, but throughout the world. Up there as one of this country's greatest ever sportsmen, let alone racers. The Micro will be sadly missed by sports fans and an adoring public in general. I'll miss looking out for you next year. RIP

Travis
R.I.P. What a legend

James McIvor
Good luck thanks for the memorys and u will be dearly a road racing icon

R.I.P another great taken to ride in the skies, Thoughts and prayers are with his family

Chris
I was with my wife at the embankment at Metropole on Thursday night when the practice was red flagged. As we watched the riders tour in I said to my wife "102 has not come through" and I knew that was Robert.At 10:30 a phone call from my brother in law confirmed my worst fears that Robert had lost his life.I hope the Joey Dunlop Leisure Centre now becomes the Dunlop Leisure Centre not just to remember Joey and Robert but in recogniton of what Michael achieved yseterday, it was beyond comprehension and there are no words fitting to describe how big a tribute it was to his Dad.

emma

He was a legend and my thoughts are with his family and friends at this horrible time. such an inspiration to all those younger racers. Everyone will miss you so much, never goning to be the same again. We did a minutes silence and clapped for you yesterday at the north west, it was the very lest we could do for a legend like you. Hope your family can stay strong. im glad there were no events at the north west as a mark of respect, you deserve every bit of respect you get. This is so so sad. Sadly I never got to meet you :( It would have been great to do so! xoxoxoxo

SEAN
RIP Robert.Its a deadly game.For those not involved it seems insane to risk you're life at those speeds.Could it not be moved to a purpose built track ? His sons showed great courage to ride again the next day and even win.In the Dunlop mindset,it probably seemed the right thing to do.God be with them.

colin
Went to the races on Saturday.Think thats what Robert would of wanted. Had a great day out and thats what Robert and his fellow competitors live for entertaining us while while doing what makes their lives whole. God bless the family.

Another legend tragically gone. A great ambassador for Road Racing and Northern Ireland. “The King of the Coast”, brought me many happy memories of the NW200 over the years. On behalf of road racing fans everywhere, Michael gave us all the greatest tribute to Robert, by winning the 250 race yesterday… Robert would be very proud. Gone, but not forgotten.

So sad to hear about the tragic death of Robert on Thursday. Along with his brother Joey and others from the late 80's he was one of my childhood heroes. I have fond memories of him racing the Norton and having a minor 'off' at Donington. I ran through the paddock to make sure he was ok. He was fine,He always bounced back!!! He even had time to sign autographs....something i'll cherish forever.The heavens will be thundering to the sounds of RC30's and JPS Nortons now he's re-united with big bro Joey...give him hell Robert!!!Road racing will never be the same again.Thoughts and prayers for the familyR.I.P you legend x

GORMAN
When I first came to the NW200 it was way back when hardly any English knew Irish Road Racing existed. Joey was top banana of course. Robert was just a wee boy. People like Sam McClements riding then, alas also no longer with us. Northern Irish folk are the salt of the earth. First visit I hardly bought a drink, everyone was so pleased that I'd come over to share their lives for a brief while. The Dunlop family have maintained a presence amongst the followers of our splendid sport for ever. Sadly two of their finest exponents have now passed on. The riding tradition lives on, of course, and long may that continue. We love you our here. Joey and Robert, if their is a heaven I'll join you both one day and share a "pint of double" - your round of course, just like the old days. God bless. Gorman

Gerard Lenehan
I am not an enthusiast, but I watch races and events on Tv etc.Todays NW was a fantastic tribute to Robert, Joey and the Dunlop family. They are special people in a special sport. There is a great phrase in the Irish language which is very apt for the skills of Robert and his trade 'air nos na gaoithe'[gheea]which means 'to run like the wind'. God Bless.

jimbo

Ger Hennessy Co. Cork
Knew both Robert & Joey back in the early 80's when we raced in Mondello. Something very special about them both was that at a time when this country was so savagely divided a very small number of people managed to break this division, the Dunlops were in this rear club. they were loved respected and admired on both sides of the border redardless of creed or political alignment in those days this quality was exceptional Robert you will be sadly missed

To go out today after losing your Dad and win your race will go down forever in the memories of all Irish and Worldwide bike fans, spectators and competitors alike, you deserve absolute credit for doing what you did today and I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. There'll be a proud Da and Uncle in Heaven tonight...fair play to you boy! It took guts to race today...it took ABILITY to win. Very best wishes.Henry

Darrell Campbell
Will always remember the sound of the big Norton as it made its way up past Juniper Hill to the pits. Robert was a fantastic rider who had the determination to tackle adversity head on and emerge victorious. Michael's win was a fitting tribute to his dad!

We have lost another legend. My memories of the Dunlops is of mucky fields, smoky barbeques, bikes in the back of vans and their accessability to their fans.Braddan bridge in the early nineties waiting for Joey and Robert on the 125's to see had Hailwoods record number of wins been overtaken and Joey came through with Robert hot on his heels to huge cheering as Goeff Cannell made the radio announcement to confirm it.Met both of them a few times...Real Legends.

Our deepest sympathies to Louise and the lads. Robert's smile and warmth were matched only by his talent on a bike. Our hearts and prayers are for you all. It was a privelage to watch Robert since his earliest rides at Skerries, Mondello, etc. A true ambassador of his sport and country. Thank you.

Stu
I feel privilaged to have seen Robert race on numerous occasions. Rest in peace mate.

I once asked Robert for his autograph, after a dinner, he looked round as though he thought I must be asking somone else. A lovely modest man with real skill, whose like I doubt we'll see again.

Joan Garrett
About 20yrs ago I took my 2 sons to their 1st road race. It was at my home town in Saintfield Temple 100.My youngest son who was then 9yrs old he was scared of the noise but when the 1st race was over I took him to the pits where Robert was working on a bike.Although in a hurry to get ready for the next race when Robert saw my son was frightened of the noise he calmly set Neil my son on his bike and talked to him.I dont know what he said but Neil ended up laughing and he didnt want to go home after that.Today and for the rest of my sons life he will never forget Robert. I want to thank the Dunlop family for sharing Robert with us... KEEP HER LIT.

Together we celebrate, J&R are watching a historical home race in 2008 and onwards.. watch this space. Sympathies to the Dunlop family in their time of bereavement. Joey, mines a pint of XX!!

In The Words of 'WH Auden"
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead. Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now; put out every one, Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun, Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods; For nothing now can ever come to any good. RIP 'Wee Rab"

I will never forget standing talking to you in the pitlane at the MGP 06.Waiting for Michael to get his garland for winning the newcommers race, what a proud Dad you were. The grin from ear to ear and the tears in your eyes said it all. What a mentor you were not only to William and Michael but to Sam your nephew. When the boys did the S100 for the 1st time you took them under your wings like a mother duck and took them around the course passing on all your knowledge and only when you thought they had learned the course you waved them on.You stayed close behind them watching their lines etc and when you all came in you told them where they had gone wrong and how to correct. You will be missed by lots. Deepest condolences to all your family and friends.It was nice to have known you Robert. RIP Enjoy your everlasting race

A very sad loss to road racing,my thoughts go out to Roberts family and friends.

Denis Bannerman (Rev)
Robert was one of the most likeable people you could ever meet. He willingly gave time to do a TV piece in support of a sponsored bike ride that I was doing some years ago in order to raise funds for a Pastor in Romania. At the time he was recovering from injury and it was typical of the man that he should be willing to help others. I still have the signed photo he pressed into my hand as he was leaving on that occasion. I shall remember him with great affection - and he will be sorely missed, as a lovely man quite apart from a superb motorcyclist. His family will need the support and prayers of all who have them on their hearts at this sad time.

Michael Fallon
Watched Robert at Walderstown last year where himself & the his two sons provided great and spectacular entertainment on the day. Robert will be a massive loss to the sport, my sympathy to his family .

Tom Connolly
Words are not enough to express the loss we all feel in the Connolly family; our thoughts are with the Dunlop family this morning. I thought the words of Robert Louis Stevensons Requiem were very poignant with the reference to the sailor maid me think of him meeting the Armoy armada again. Ill not say good bye Robert, instead good luck untilwe meet again under the wide and starry sky. Dig the grave and let me lie. Glad did I live, and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will. This be the verse you grave for me. Here he lies, where he longed to be. Home is the sailor, home from the sea, And the hunter home from the hill.
