Robert Dunlop Leathers
HOYFM.2023.103
These leathers were worn by Robert Dunlop (1960-2008), one of the most famous motorcycle racers from Northern Ireland. In 2022-23, we acquired one of Robert Dunlop’s racing motorbikes, and these leathers further help us to tell his story. Robert Dunlop’s racing career saw him triumph in the North West 200 and the Isle of Man TT, be twice named Enkalon Motorcyclist of the Year, and awarded the Freedom of Ballymoney in 2007. He was tragically killed in a biking accident during the North West 200 in 2008.
