    1987 saw the TT celebrate its 80th anniversary. And in Action Man you can vividly see how, 80 years on, the TT has lost none of the magic for which it has always enjoyed worldwide renown.
    50,000 race fans came from all over the world in 1987 to enjoy the ultimate pilgrimage and millions more wished they could be there.
    Featuring 'King of the Roads' Joey Dunlop, Geoff Johnson, and Phil Mellor.

    I loved Joey's comments on his videoed lap. "You have to be careful here" while going around a bend at 180mph.
    Anyone who wins a TT is a champion.
    Anyone who wins 26 TT's is a road racing god.

    I was there that year....I remember they Helicoptered in the Magnesium HRC carbs for Joey's Honda 6X ....then they flew them back to Japan for someone else to race with....they were so special.......but you gotta Love those Big Suzuki's too....
    Joey is a Legend.....but Marshall and Mellor etc deserve more recognition sometimes I think.

      I agree. They were unlucky to race at the same time as Joey for silverware, but very lucky to have shared a track with such genius

    Wow, my first litre bike was a pre exup FZR1000 in those exact Loctite colours, 1988 model. It had a full Cobra stainless exhaust with a Dynojet carb kit. I loved that bike. It was crazy loud on the street though.
