1974: the battle between the Armoy Armada and the Dromara Destroyers and their star riders Joey Dunlop (Armoy) and Ray McCullough (Dromara) comes to a peak.

In the first episode of the series, we get an overview of the early motorcycle racing scene in Northern Ireland. The rivallry between the Armoy Armada, headed by Joey Dunlop, and the Dromara Destroyers star rider, Ray McCullough, leads to an explosion in the popularity of racing, both on short circuits and roads across Northern Ireland. Off the track the James brothers come up with an ingenious solution for getting footage of the races from the riders perspective.
