Where is Ralph ?

A recent email from Rob Jenks bought up a name from the past.


"In the background is an Opel Manta that belonged to a German scooter dealer called Ralph who used to come over every year with a trailer in which he had a P2 and sidecar. He was a really skinny fella with a wispy beard and used to wear flares and sandals/socks. Used to carry a baseball bat in the boot. I wonder how many folk remember him? "

I got a lift to Morecambe '84 in that motor and nearly got arrested after we got pulled over doing nearly 150mph on the M5...the copper tried to drag me out of the car but then realised it was left hand drive!! - Rob Jenks

So who was Ralph and does anyone else remember him, I do now it was mentioned, it's strange but I can recall him quite clearly now, but he did come and go.
