Isle of Man TT Challenge - 3 riders, 3 eras, 3 minutes 

I know it doesn't sound like much when it's broken into 3 minute chunks, but those 29 years in improvement roughly equate to Joey being halfway down the straight to the Creg from Kate's... while McGuinness is crossing the start/finish. And since TT bikes don't have anything like ground effects etc like cars do, that improvement is made solely in mechanical grip and power. We know Joey was as fast as at least a young McGuinness (2000 Formula 1 TT) so that should help put into perspective how far bike technology came.

Averages of 129, 134 & 143 mph respectively for this section. It should be pointed out that Joey's Honda had a big camera strapped to his tank, probably 10 x bigger than a Go-pro or similar that would have been on McGuinness's bike. I don't think Joey would have been able to tuck in properly but he wasn't concerned as it was a demo/practice lap.The camera on Steve Hislop's bike would have been a fair lump attached to the fairing and could have knocked a few mph of top speed. I think the V-4 Victory average lap speed was about 110 mph with the lap record at that time about 115 mph. It interesting to see the smaller classes in the same practice session but Joey wasn't held up at all as he he passed them at 20 to 50 mph faster speeds without hesitation.

Very impressive riding by Joey when you take into account that in a 29 yr time frame, only a gain of 0.9 klm's was gained.

thanks for posting this..3 fantastic riders,another you should watch here,ian duffus....a gent and always willing to help anyone,even me with bike setup,still have the bike,and still setup the way he said to... im too old and its too fast but that spirt to pass on help to us mere mortals....priceless

incredible ride with Joey, 29 years time span, road surface improvements, suspension and engine development and engine size....under one klm gained...

the man made other riders look like he was passing signposts...joey,what a pilot,so smooth and clean,never saw the man put another rider in danger,and never will forget the first time i saw him ride,fore.... anyone remember that road race...not to take anything from any other rider,but fuck me he was mr soooth.. gotta say tho,mc pint is there too....nearly :-)

Seen this clip of Joey way back in 1985.. guy I worked with gave me some videos and this was on it.. went in to work next day, we started talking about it... I said the thing I noticed about Joey....... and we both said at exactly the same time.. " the space he gave other riders as he passed them"..we both burst out laughing..... coincidentally his name was also Stuart... hahaha

The islands Road surface is bumpy, lumpy and quite a mess at times.

Handleys wall, mcguiness goes max attack, hislop keeps to the middle, joey might scrape his helmet cos it doesn't scare him. Legend.
