Irish Daze

I came across this old newspaper story about an event I attended in Northern Ireland in 2005. I even put in an appearance - bottom picture, fifth in from the right.

Here are some more photos from that weekend:

Whirling Around

Another one from the recent Stafford Classic Motorcycle Show. Although predominantly concerned with old British machines there are an increasing number of older Japanese ones turning up these days. This is a very rare Suzuki RE5 Rotary and could be yours for under 4k (£Sterling).

A Ride Home

A novel idea. Had too much to drink? Get someone else to drive you home. Call the number and someone turns up on a small folding bike which they put in the boot of your car. They then drive you home, unload their bike and drive away. It's been done before and is usually quite expensive, but is it any more expensive than being fined for drink driving and possibly losing your license?

Mini Bus

Barkus B1000 van built in the former East Germany. This one is in the colours of Simson motorcycles.
