AROUND 400 motorcyclists paid tribute to Joey Dunlop on the 10th anniversary of his death in July in the way they know best - by completing a lap of the TT course.

Enthusiasts from the Island and beyond - including 2002 Lightweight 400 TT winner Richard 'Milky' Quayle and Manx Radio TT broadcaster Chris Kinley - took part in the event which started from the TT Grandstand.

The event raised money for the Joey Dunlop Foundation.

One of the greatest ever names in motorcycle racing, Joey, from Ballymoney, Northern Ireland, died following a crash at a road race in Estonia on July 2 2000.

Just weeks earlier, at the age of 48, he had notched up a hat-trick of wins at the Isle of Man TT, bringing his total number of TT wins to 26.

Joey's total is yet to be beaten - John McGuinness, who is the second most successful rider at the TT ever, has 15 victories to his name.
