Ballymoney Gears Up for “Joey 25” — A Legendary Tribute to the King of the Roads
On 24th May, the heart of Northern Ireland will once again thrum with the sound of racing engines and raw emotion, as Ballymoney plays host to Joey 25 — a powerful tribute marking 25 years since the tragic passing of road racing icon Joey Dunlop.
Set for May 24, 2025, this once-in-a-generation celebration will bring together over 25 motorcycling legends, including the likes of World Superbike Champions Jonathan Rea and Carl Fogarty, in a rolling homage to the man many still regard as the greatest road racer of all time. And they won’t just be there to wave to the crowd — they’ll be throwing a leg over Dunlop’s own machines, riding them through Ballymoney’s town centre in a closed-road parade that promises goosebumps and nostalgia in equal measure.
The day isn’t just about roaring engines and racing royalty. The Ballymoney Museum will open its doors to a special memorabilia exhibition, offering fans an intimate look at Joey’s life, his racing triumphs, and the quiet humility that made him a hero well beyond the paddock. From iconic leathers to silverware earned on the Isle of Man and beyond, it’s a chance to step into the world of a man whose 26 TT wins still stand as a towering achievement in motorsport history.
Beyond the museum walls and the parade route, the town will come alive with “meet the riders” sessions, autograph signings, live music, and a packed schedule of entertainment — all designed to honour a legacy that transcends the sport.
Joey Dunlop wasn’t just a racer. He was a symbol of courage, modesty, and relentless passion. His death in Estonia in 2000 sent shockwaves through the racing community, but also cemented his status as a legend — not just in Northern Ireland, but across the world.
Joey 25 is shaping up to be more than just an event. It’s a gathering of old friends, fierce competitors, and generations of fans — all united by the legacy of one man who raced not for glory, but for love of the sport. And on May 24, the roads of Ballymoney will echo with that love once again.
