Chris,

thank you for your interesting post!
I plan to write to you separately, probably via PM here.

Pykey,

one of my plans for retirement is to get to some Irish road races.
I have wanted to go since I first heard about Ray McCullogh and
then saw the Road Racers film of the 1970s!
Thats part of the rationale for buying the little camper van (that I
collect on Friday!)
I will he hoping that you guys who have been will help point me in the right direction with hints and tips.

Charlie, Pykey and Chris,

did you really think that I was serious about wasting time with
bikes??
I was taking a leaf out of the George Best quoute...
...... "the rest of it I wasted!"
