A Vintage Motorcycle "Rally Irish Style" !!

[chaterlea25]

Hi All,
I thought you might like to take look at some photos from this years Irish National Assembly
The photos were taken by Mary Adams, I think they are Excellent
Hugh and Mary did the event on a Gold Flash outfit, the photo of this with the river behind it
certainly deserves to be in the photo competition???

Now that's a rally! Anyone notice the valve clearance adjustment on the picture of that vintage head? Ingenious!

I'm afraid of overstating the word "fantastic." Please consider it in front of the following: bikes; pictures; scenery (countryside and town); humans; comradery.  

Am I correct that there is no jumble taking place here?

Not saying they didn't fit in at the Irish National Assembly, but the guys in photos 16 and 252 would have about disappeared amongst the Harley crowd in Davenport.

Did anyone else notice the one-horsepower ride?

Hi All,
Richard, Yes the "hairy types " can be found worldwide 
The chap in the later photo has completed most of the 45 Irish Rallies
starting in 1967, for the greater number of rallies he rode a Sunbeam "90"
but in recent times has been riding Rudges

A couple of guys rode Veteran single speed Triumphs from the North of England did the event then rode back home as well 
Katrin who rode the single speed japanese on the USA Cannonball event in 2010 completed the event in "Style"
Most of the veteran single speeders needed some help on the mountain pass climbs
Going  up wouldnt worry me too much its coming down the problems are
