The legendary Joey Dunlop, astride his powerful Seeley Yamaha, basks in the glory of his first TT win. However, behind this triumphant moment lies a tale of perseverance and resourcefulness. As Joeys's victory lap brings him into victory lane, it becomes evident that finding suitable tires for his beloved machine was no easy feat. Faced with exorbitant prices and limited options, he had tirelessly searched for the perfect set to conquer the challenging Jubilee TT course.
