Don't really get to follow the IOM anymore. Hard to take watching all these talented madmen die every year. I pretty much knew the story, but when it was offered up on Netflix I couldn't believe this film was out and I'd not heard of it - but it was a beautifully done piece. Joey Dunlop was always one of my great heroes - up there with Hailwood. If you haven't seen it, it's really amazing.
 
IOM on Netflix in the states?

More specifically - it's a great homage to the the Dunlop clan; many interviews with fellow racers, friends and family of Robert and Joey and great race footage. It is for sale on the internet - but I streamed it via Netflix. Was very surprised to see this title pop up on new videos offered. Netflix is getting smarter and offering better stuff what with the competition from Amazon.
 
Name? I can't find anything under Isle of Man. Only one found was Charge, from 2011 about the elec. bikes.
 
Those guys are crazy. It's like they live in a meat grinder and every now and then, somebody accidentally bumps the switch.
