    Just to let you know that we are in the process of making new Twinshock 510 Aircooled frames that will have better geometry and the ability to fit a Keihin FCR Carburettor!

    Andy looks awesome a 450lq milk truck.

    with you pushing the edge of the envelope heading into custom big bores maybe KTM/husky is watching. I'd like to see a 400/500 cr/xc in a new bike with electric start and oil injection.

    do you think a a company will develop a new engine with no race class to support it?

    do you know why the kx 500 died?

    justintendo your right. Why did the kx500 die was it because there was no class to race it in? NETRA does have a open class in the harescrambles I believe. I guess I'm a dying breed who likes bigbores.

    When I suggested electric start, two stroke oil injection and fuel injection for years I was told we'd never see it? Now what about adding a bigger bore to it? We have the technology, to do it. It's time for the 2t evolution again.

    I read somewhere that the Italian Husqvarna 360wr is faster than the new Husqvarna 300. But the KTM/husky bikes back then were suppose to compete with the 500cc bikes.

    They still offer the Honda xr600?

    All up to date with orders at work now - so off to ride the Vintage race at the ISDE in France tonight on the Ferry.

    I will be arriving there a bit late, so Signing on and scrutineering is guaranteed to be a nightmare!!!

    Sad news is that one of the British club team riders died yesterday during the first day of the modern 6 day event. God speed to Michael Alty and sympathy to his family. At least he died doing something he loved, not that that will be any consolation to his family....

    Hoping that the vintage race is going the be challenging and not just a trail ride. Will be meeting up with Geoff Ballard and the other Australians (some of whom are riding Huskies) as I am told the Brits and Ozzies are pitting together...

    Back next week,

    Andy.
