HVA Automatic's Europe concentration in France

[fabrice]

hello Guys
sorry for my English but means it is not my native language
I created this post because I would meet in 2014 all lovers of HVA Automatic's in Europe
the concentration would be on three days in July in the southwest of France in the Basque Country between Ocean and Mountain
just after we would also have the opportunity to participate in the most beautiful Vintage Enduro in France on 12 and 13 July
here is my project, what do you think?
I have no idea how much there is of Automatic lovers in Europe!
in France I identified 30 owners
but some have several machine
thank you for giving your opinion

hi Mike
ah! I do a mistake , sorry
thank to transfer to the right place

 

[Jens Ries]

ahh automatic .... is a nice theme
I m Jens from Germany .. and learnt English languagge 30 years ago at school .. so it isn t the best too
my father rode four of them during the 80 s
a 420/79, 500/84 , 430/85 and a 430/87 ...
he always was very excited about the power and the shifting ... he wasn t a fast rider, but he won a lot of mx starts only by opening the carb ... and this against the powerfull big bores from Honda, KTM and the horrible Maico 495

 

[fabrice]

Hi Jens
more Automatic's HVA in the family, no luck sorry.
can-be aware of guys who still have the AE?
Could you do pass the message in Germany on the dirt vintage websites?
thank you very much

 

[Jens Ries]

yes I can do ...
but in Germany the AE isn t very popular ... because people don t understand how it works ... they think it works like a usual one working in a slow automatic car from the 80s ..
I would buy one, just thinking about the old times. But I remeber my father was using a lot of clutchsprings flywheelweights and baskets. So I m afraid the bike wouldn t run for long without any special spares for the auto.

for those who are interested in the meeting has Lagor(64) France , the (7 8 9 and 10 July)

- Just before , the 6 July there is Enduro Monein (64) is 10km, with modern bikes , very hard, a lot of mud in the hills
- Just after , the 12 and 13 July there is Enduro Auroux (48) in the top 3 Enduro old bikes but to 600km/6h

 

[fabrice]

yes Jens
thank you in advance
they are not popular in the world because OVERLOOKED

yet it is a very fun scooter between 250 and 500cc and for me it is an obligation for 2 years
there regularly for HVA AE sale in Europe
the last week in Italy a very clean 420 to 1300 € , not expensive
I know several for sale: 390 420 500 430 but not 250 and 360
we find all the spare parts, but you must know the right address
freewheels are still made by the Germans

 

[Jens Ries]

hallo Fabrice..
flywheel made in Germany .. can t believe that I didn t know this .. who s the guy? .. maybe I can make the autotheme a little bit more popular by building one up at the german husky forum

 

[Michel Dufayard]

Not Flywheel, freewheel ( one way bearing) made GMN in Germany.

 

[fabrice]

yes Jens , GMN is German company
this is the leader of the free wheel in the world
of course you can launch the Meeting of the German forums vintage dirt bikes

 

[Autopilot]

Hi Fabrice, yes I will definitely come to your meeting with my auto, I am riding the Auroux with several friends from the UK so coming down a week earlier is no problem and would be fantastic to meet up with fellow enthusiasts for the Auto. I have had mine from brand new, so had it for over 30 years now and have used it regularly this year. I see you have put a request for auto items on our website ( VinduroUK ), I do have a 1984 500 AE engine for sale, it is in fantastic condition and ready to go, looking for £1000 for it, I can send you pics if you are interested. I also have a 258 Army bike for sale, it is on the HVA-Factory website if you want to see it. Transporting to France is no problem as we do regular trips over there.
My Avitar picture is of me in Auroux 2 years ago on my 430 and this year I rode it on my 510 four stroke, unfortunately I smashed the casing on a large rocky hill climb so did not finish.
For any one thinking of going to this event it is the best Vintage enduro anywhere as far as I know, incredible riding and scenery plus very friendly organisers and competitors

 

[fabrice]

hi Autopilot
nice to speak you
CAFE HUSKY looking I saw you liked Automatics
this is good news, that you come to the meeting next Summer
Are your friends also Automen?
Do you know other guys or who might come?
if you did Auroux in 2011 as I was in WR400 84 but it was my last
your engine really interested me because I have a project AMXorAC500 82 SS
but still in private
it seems me that there is a guy who seeks a Military Auto on shread "AM258"

 

[fabrice]

it's "Moesgaard" a Dane
take contact with him

Fabrice:
OK, this sounds interesting. Another good reason to visit France again and the Pyrenees.
Checking the map, Lagor is west of Pau about 25 km ? Are both Enduros located there?

[fabrice]

hello Dave
I see that you live in the USA in Portland !
and you want to come to the meeting in France !
I am very surprised because it's been a long travel , would you come with friends ?
but if it is possible for you I would find it very nice to meet you
if you're looking Lagor (64) on Google, the cross field is Southwest Lagor
seen very well
we must look to "Circuit-Terre-Rouy" here is the link :
http://circuit-terre-rouy.com/pages/indexpag.html
the only Enduro side of Lagor is Monein, July 6 has 10km
Auroux (48) it is in Lozere has 600km
What bike do you have?

 

[everfree]

Fabrice,
I'd like to come over, it sounds like fun. I'll see how my 2014 summer schedule goes.
Thanks for the information and link.
If I come over, it would be with my wife. It would be nice to meet you and other Automatic friends.

I had a couple of Husqvarna Automatics, an 84 500 AE and a 87 430 AE. Fun bikes to ride.
Dave
