Many words and tributes have been written about Joey and this poem is a fitting tribute from Belfast man Eric Smith.
Forever King of the Road"
His life was rich but humble
He gave us so much pleasure
His skills upon a Honda
Were impossible to measure
North-West, Dundrod, the Isle of Man
Of these he was the master
And every year surprised us all
By going even faster
He raced the roads of Ulster
For thirty one fond years
His safety was impeccable
Twisting throttles, shifting gears
So dedicated to his sport
This quiet friendly man
His attributes uncountable
Replace him no one can
While others fussed and struggled
Your man rode calm and cool
An example to all bikers
Keep your head his golden rule
We'll always remember you Joey
As a loving and caring chap
And wave our programmes wildly
In our memories lap by lap
Farewell our famous champion
May you in peace forever rest
North-West, Dundrod, the Isle of Man
Our Joey will always be best……
Eric Smith
