Is it about the Road Racing family (Joey Dunlop etc), or is it about the Scottish family tyre manufacturer?

It'd be interesting watching the history of the tyre peoples!, but I reckon it'll be the Northwest / IOM TT guys from the Emerald Isle.

Oh well - away to IMDB to find out! :thumbup:

A very honest insight into road racing from one of the greatest road racing family's ever, I laughed, cried , but most of all I enjoyed, not a film it's history we all should see :thumbup:

Tbh I did not think a right lot to it(watched it last night) I thought the on bike footage was sh1t with stupid camera angles and kept flashing from scene to scene in a "Top Gear" arty sort of way. I suppose it is trying to add drama but tbh I thought it missed its mark :( I was hoping for more on bike footage and more on Joey, I thought it was a bit heavy on the Robert side. I certainly didn't find it a tear jerker. I thought they were awesome road racers and was a big fan. I am NOT trying to be controversial, just my opinion. I was much much better than silver dream racer though :lol:
