Hi Alan
WOW! This has brought a huge smile to my face!
I've just seen your post, sorry for the tardy reply, I've been ferreting about elsewhere and putting some miles on the Minster.
Dron & Fred are right, this really does show off the power of the internet for good and I for one would love to find out as much as I can about Arnold, his bikes and the shenanigans he obviously got up to. From the stories you've already posted you and your dad seem like you got unto some cracking antics and I’d be happy to hear more about them. This might sound selfish but it really brings my Minster to life, if that makes any sense?
Sorry for putting the wrong info up about the shop in my original post, I searched high and low for information about the man, the bikes and the shop, but I really struggled to find anything more than a few lines on forums and a few sentences in old TT schedules (which makes sense now!)
Great to hear that you still have your Minster and that you’re still riding as much as the knee allows. I hope you think my one has been restored to your family’s approval; it’s certainly a conversation starter!
As for the photos, you can upload thumbnails below using the controls in the message box, or just stick a link in to another site. I can’t wait to see another one of your dad’s bikes.
Cheers!
