Motor Cycling Comes

On January 10, 1965, a new era began on Pitcairn Island when the first motorised vehicles to be owned by the islanders —a Massey Ferguson diesel tractor and a Bristol crawler— went into use.

Now, just over a year later, two Honda 90 Trail motor cycles have arrived on the island. They have al ready proved to be an outstanding success, because, in the words of "Pitcairn Miscellany", they will go "practically anywhere there is a formed track".

In late March, it looked as if it wouldn't be long before others were shipped to the island.
