Biography: Mount: Junior - A.J.S.

Age 28, Michael McGeagh is a native of Ramsey, Isle of Man, but has now gone into partnership with Len Parry in a motor cycle business at Ledsham, Cheshire.

He has ridden over the T.T. course on many occasions - as a Clubman's and Manx G.P. rider from 1950 to 1952 and as a Junior T.T. competitor last year; from all these races, unfortunately, he has had only three finishes, for 'In all the other races either I fell off or something fell off the machine!'

Still - he did finish in last year's Junior; he was on an A.J.S. and came in 50th to claim a bronze replica. He is entered by his own company, Two Mills Motorcycles, and classes as his other interests modern art, poetry, and 'messing about in boats'. He is also a regular contributor to 'Bemsec' magazine.

Age 27, Michael McGeagh is a free-lance journalist. A Manxman from Ramsey, Michael now lives in Heswell, Cheshire, but he has spent some time in the West Indies.
