Tom Heron, Ernie Coates, Ray McCullough at the opening of Ernies shop on Grand parade (Belfast) in 1977.

Many a time I was in there over the years. I bought my first Arai from Ernie.
Ernie is in the Guinness book of records as the only man ever to have completed in every race in TT week including sidecars.
