Robert Dunlop was killed on May 15th at the Northwest 200 in North Ireland. Witnesses claim he was thrown off his RS250 at 160 mph as the engine seized.



For those of you that aren't familar with Irish roadracing check it out on YouTube and try to keep your jaw from hitting the floor.  It seems inevitable that anybody who competes seriously and makes a career of roadracing (on actual roads) ends his life in tragedy. It's sad to see another legend go this way.
