Oh Sh!t. There isn't a word good enough to describe what a man Joey was. His riding skills were extra ordinary.[extra extrordinary] We have lost a great one.

Joey's skill on a motorcycle was astounding.I was a big fan of his and would stayed glued to the TV while the Isles of Man race would be on.The man had balls the size of Bowling Balls.

When you watched him race he seemed invincible. Obviously he was not. Godspeed Joey, you will be sorely missed.

Damn shame, what a loss. If he was only racing on a closed circuit trace instead of a street course, he would have never hit that tree.

Bummer......no way to express such saddness, hope his family (wife +5 kids) make if throught this tough time.

When I go, I hope it's like Joey, quick and painless on my bike.

The Isle of Man will never be the same. Godspeed Joey.

They should have a bank holiday named after him in Ireland.

What a man, hope the roads are twisty up there.

I just read about him in BIKE magazine........ To say that that sucks is the understatement of the century. My condolences to his family and friends. He was a phenominal rider and will remain a legend, always.
