And before that it was Nelson`s, owned by John Nelson who got Shannonville going. I bought my first bike there, beautiful red CB 350F in June `73. Used to hang around there a lot, great shop, run by good guys heavily into racing. Anyone know what happened to Stan Forrest, English guy who sold me the bike? Correction maybe....don`t quite recall if it was Nelson Motorcycles or Nelson Honda,.....anybody?
