Lowry was the oldest rider to ever win a TT race (49) when partenered by Pat Cushnahan they won in 1986 and then again in 1987. He was also a multible Irish champion , and Scottich champion in the 1980,s . He was a real gent and very highly regarded in the sidecar paddocks and will be sadly missed .
