Joey Dunlop (Benelli 6) 1979 Formula One TT

For 1979 Joey was contracted to ride 'The Plumber's Nightmare', this Benelli Sei with its intricate exhaust setup. A big brute of a machine, he retired it after a single medioce lap in the 1979 Formula One Race. Better things were about to happen

With the race shortened to three rain-sodden laps, Joey came out the traps like a greyhound, guessing that the weather would not improve. He was right, the race was red-flagged after two. TT win 23 was in the bag
