      & its in Sweden this year as they won last year.
      There is a rumour that all 4 of them will be there.
      If they win again they will overtake us.

                Talk about feeling ancient.
                I remember watching Teddy & Pearl Johnston competing for Britain in 1959
                The year I got my first motor bike.

                  I had to google that. Have to say, My Lovely Horse trumps it all day.

                      I think it was 59 when the Honda 50s came into Ireland as a few lads bought them & they sold in their droves.
                      I bought a Triumph Tiger Cub like the one in my avator but that was my second bike.

                          Maybe it is on the rte player. Just a group of men in a shed fixing up Hondas later they drove from ,kilmuckridge to killarney, never had a motor bike but that journey sounds uncomfortable

                            I once went from Dublin to Doolin on the back of a Honda 50,in the middle of March 1976 engine wasn’t broken in. 30 mph. It took two days. I can still remember the cold.
