The Mallory Park Mystery

 Dragon 

                                                            Motorcycles 

Two of my passions are dragons and motorcycles.

The Mallory Park mystery involves a tee-shirt I bought from a charity store on eBay three years ago. I bought the shirt as it had images of motorcycle racers I related to from the late 70's, and to help the charity.

The mystery is I can't find it. I washed it, and put it in my room, but I haven't seen it since then, I know I haven't seen it for three years, as I lost it the year before my wife passed away.

My Charity work

For several years I was involved in wriitng stories for children's charities in the USA. My most prolific work was for the group known as the Peacock Writers, I have stories in several of their books. I also have a story in the anthology written for the Sandy Hook massacre, the book is  called Angels Cried.

I have stories in other anhologies, and I was offered the opportunity to write in more, but the projects didn't materialise.

Vintage Motorcycles

 Pre-1965 races

Motorcycle Racing

I won't deny I love vintage motorcycles, though the bikes and engines have improved, the pre-1965 era were the heyday of the British Motorcycle industry.

In the world of Motocross names like BSA, Greeves, and Cotton reigned supreme, with many foreign riders riding British machines to world championship victories.

In Road Racing the top names were BSA, Triumph, and Norton.

In Trials, one of the top names came from Yorkshire, the Scott motorcycle.

I love this story from the Dalesman magazine, based in Yorkshire, from the late 70s.

A group of sheep herd some some motorcycles approaching, and went to investigate, seeing they were Britich, they stayed to let the sound drift away. After a few minutes, the unmistakeable sound of motorcycles from Japan was heard approaching, the sheep turned away and climbed up the hill 😂😂😂
