This book, The Seanachie of Motorcycling, is a collection of tales
from a master story teller, Harry Lindsay of Dublin. Described in
his youth by his headmaster as the boy with oil in his veins",
Harry grew up with motorcycles, becoming a trials and road racer, a
grass track champion, holder of the Irish land speed record, racing
team leader, an importer and retailer of motorcycles, a restorer of
antique bikes and an historian along the way. Many of his stories
bring to life the characters and heroes that were the racing world
from the thirties through the turn of the last century. They offer
a rare glimpse of life behind the scenes and more than one tale is
told with a twinkle in his eye. This, then, is an Irishman's view
of the world as it was. Pour a pint of Guinness, put your feet up
and be prepared to enjoy the Seanachie's tales and learn and laugh
with him. Seanachie pronounced sha-nah-key: Irish for master story
teller in the great tradition of orally passing folklore and
history on down through the generations.
