not your work? they look good anyway

Yes, I have started! My new riding gear is in the spare bedroom and sun tan lotion - whatever that is..... Its Minus 3 Degrees C here.

Andy.

best double up on that sun tan stuff, its 30C here! chuck in a sun lounge while your at it...

Roger Harvey?

Gerrit Wolsink ...rode Husqvarna them Maico then Suzuki ...finally finished up on Maico and Honda as a privateer.

Have you dropped the l/c cylinders now?? Bike is back to a/c?

I am sure Andy just added a long sought alternative. I welcome it.

That can also be sleeved with a 400 LC sleeve and give you all the 400 oversizes. Then it can be simply bored to 430 and use all the 430 oversizes. Keep all old pistons so you can start over at 400 again and bore to fit to previous viable pistons

Don't forget guys that we are off to Australia for the A4DE at the end of next week(24th Mar). The webshop will still work in our absence, but no orders will be dispatched whilst we are away.

Back on the 16th of April.

Here is a pic of the bike that Rob Shoemark has prepared for me to ride - Looks FAST I will be looking more 'Retro' than that though.

Thanks Rob!

Andy

enjoy

In Sydney now testing bikes. On our way to cessnock in the morning...

Cessnock was the site of the 1992 ISDE or six days as some may know it.

There’s 19 Husqvarna’s in the vintage class that’s awesome.

NSW was a big husky stronghold in the 70's and 80's. King Dick came out and rode the first A4de in Cessnock in 1978. he will be here this week as well

Up to 3rd from 5th on the first day! Broke a non hva-factory clutch cable yesterday so had to ride all tests with no clutch! Hoping to maintain a position but it will be tough! Winning the team trophy!!!

team shoey going well

1:39:29.847.
