Mike Ohara was based in pembroke, he also had a motorbike shop I think it was called west wales kawasaki. He is a true gent the whole family emigrated to Canada in the 90s.the last I heard him and his brother Philip were long distance trucking out there.he had yard on a farm in Cosheston. I hope this helps sime17.
