Epiphany?

Blast from the Past

'Betty' a Dawes 531, re-discovered in a barn in Meadow View, upper Pendine is hitting the tarmacadam again. The hand built was bought in the late 80s from John Antoniazzi, County Cycles, Swansea Road, Llanelli.

Comfortably heavy, a classic of its time. Past on through generations of great magic mountain men of Marros it now lies in the poetic hands of Mr Kieran Owen. On being handed the bike at a ritualized blood letting ceremony at an unknown venue close to the Green Bridge Inn, the new owner uttered the immortal words, 'that's the ship's biscuit'. The ritual continued, blood was spilt, the frame blessed. After the baptism of the first ride - the famous twice round the triangle the new charge has now been christened 'La Bella'.

Like a sword and a shield 'La Bella' will not be owned by any one individual - she will be passed from hand to hand, generation to generation.

Kieran is seen below with his new charge after visiting the church at Llansadurnen . Inshallah.
