Title: Robert Dunlop Inquest
Post by: guest7 on February 25, 2009, 08:24:44 PM

Sad to hear that his death may have been partly due to his placing of his brake lever on the left hand 'bar. The coroner gave an opinion that Dunlop may have inadvertently jabbed the brake when trying to pull the clutch in after the bike seized.

Hell

I wouldn't attempt to even try that. Its bad enough having the gears on the other side or the other way up.
I remember him and Ron Haslem on the Nortons at Cadwell Park. Robert was a good rider.

Its a real pity That family has has lost too many people.
