Monday March 17th/25 ST Patrick’s Day.

Although we are Welsh – not Irish – this date is pretty special to Babsy and myself, as it was at a 1959 St Patrick’s Dance, that we started courting. – Still together some 66 years later. Yes she is pretty special.

============================================

Answer to the last quiz – a young Graham Jarvis – quite a few got this – maybe I gave to good a hint? – Pete Varey, Neil Carter, Brett, Harlow and Pete from OZ all in there!!

Here is a shot of young Graham on a Fantic – Very popular brand back in the day, and still a lot used in Classic events.

Quiz today – An Irish one as it’s a special Day – In what year did Sammy Miller first ride the Scottish Six Day Trial, and on what bike?

Here is a shot of the great Irishman with his Ariel 500 GOV 132

And below a pic with my great Irish buddy Paddy (Patrick) Horan at a Ymir Event a few years ago – Caroline now lives over at Fintry and has a TRS Xtrack.

===========================================

I saw a comment from somebody who said ” Watching the dumb stuff happening from the White house – is like clicking onto the movie “One flew over the Cuckoos Nest” – But Jack does a better job than Donald!!

========================================

Harry wins in Jersey – first time out on his new (old) Fantic. – Well done laddie!! – Thanks to Wendy for sending these results. and pic.

And still on the Fantic Theme – This was my final Competition at age 70 – riding the Fantic at the ATRA Outlaw Trial at Stony Plain. – I sent this pic to Neil Carter as he used to be the Fantic Importer – He liked it so much he did a cut out!!

Walter Cukavac now owns this bike
