Robert Dunlop

Robert Dunlop's story hits me hard. A road racer from Ballymoney, brother of the legendary Joey Dunlop, father of two more racers, and ultimately killed in practice for the North West 200 in 2008, just as his brother had died on the roads years before. I keep circling the same thought: what makes a whole family keep racing knowing the cost? I don't read it as recklessness. To me it's a stubborn, almost sacred commitment to something they loved more than safety. I admire the courage far more than the speed, and I hope he rests easy.
