...Another question, Has there ever been a Irish made motorcycle?
Well, to answer that question Nolan, back in the mid-1960s there WAS a very short-lived concern headquartered right outside Dublin for a while which came very close to marketing a "motorcycle" of sorts.
But unfortunately the whole venture from the outset was geared to a very small market of consumers, and thus it was somewhat ill-fated from the beginning.
Below is a very rare picture taken of their lone pre-production model being ridden by one of the [little] people they had planned to market it to.....

(BTW...word is that after the whole venture failed, a few of their employees moved to the U.S. and found gainful employment with General Mills, whereupon they were given credit for a much more successful marketing campaign of a certain breakfast cereal, which I understand has the slogan of being "Magically Delicious"...or something like that anyway)
