On the top of Mount Snaefell, a King cast in bronze sits astride his Honda throne. It is said that from the peak you can see seven kingdoms—the Isle of Man, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, the Sea, and Heaven—but there is an eighth: the Roads. The statue of Joey Dunlop gazes down at the bends before him, impassive but perhaps smiling to see his nephew’s achievement. After twenty-four years of his uncle’s unbroken record, Michael Dunlop has been crowned the most-winning Isle of Man TT rider of all time. A new King of the Mountain takes up his rule.
