Owner of the Shanks and a motorcyclist of approximately 65 years. Has forgotten more about mechanical objects and how to fix than the rest of us have accumulated between us. Able to maintain a steady tickover on the Blackburne engine using a "petrol soaked clout" rather than a carburetor. Ran the local garage until retirement and comes to the shed on the odd occasion to dispense wisdom.

Most likely to - put his finger on the problem.

Least likely to -  stay until madness descends.
