Happy St. Urho's Day everyone!  St. Urho is the patron saint of Finland, Finns, bassoon players and exterminators. 

And @flyinmonkeys, this one's for you!

Why do St Pat and St Nick get all the focus and limelight? And I wonder who the patron saint of sidecarists is....

Tom,

Columbanus is the patron saint of motorcyclists, for those leaning toward two wheeled travel.

Going further back, the Roman God Janus represents Duality, i.e. sidecars. With his two faces, he can see into the future as well as view the past. Janus is the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, frames, and endings. 

Take your pick on which one looks over you and your safe travels.

Jan
