Have no idea Ken, though probably his own. When I was born, my Mom made him quit. haha But we used to visit the 'dromes' on occasion to meet his old buddies.

Thanks for the link Doug,,the wall looks like an old one (The size gives it way)They make them a lot smaller now.
I prefered the old size so that 3 bikes could ride together, also a lot more movement of the boards giveing the specks a better feeling. See they have quite a mix of bikes,,,Indian got to be the best (Listen to them spit and splutter) The finest bike for the job. Alan Fords Wall (Now rotting away) Was the same size and packed onto two loads, took 3 gaff lads to rig and 8hrs to do it (On a good day !) Gerry Le Roy,,oldest rider alive will be making another visit to the Dingles Celebrations,,sure it will not be his last. Over here Globes have taken over (Less work and running cost,,,also a lot less rent) But for me not the thrill. Ken |
