    Yeah that's the one. A&E was a funnier name on reflection.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

Sadly it came out as not before 1983 which was a shame as not a pre82. Engine was legal. Think it was an an Armstrong when RH raced it.
    Was In an NZ racing book I had with Kevin on it on grid. Gave book to Matt. Ziffle had one too. Not sure what frame he had.
    Not much Bears up this way. Didn't end up buying it as I'd planned.
    McIntosh Rotax, it's well gone, frame went to the tip

    Pity no class for it. That said tyres were an issue unless you ran road. Had 16s but Marvic 17s, just they are too narrow for slicks available. Chain too close to put bigger wheels vs frame if you spaced it.
    Started real easy if you had a helper.
    But woe and betide rotary valve would load up if a solitary muppet in leathers didn't get it up to speed before jump and dump.
    Took it to a track day and was a panting mess as I just made pit shute in time. Figured that was end for me not having a band of helping hands at travel meetings.
    Of course later I saw the roller starts people were building.
    Anyway, another time another place.

    20 years ago P&R still had the jig for the ally one i think he said and that was a cute little thing. Designed for TZs but could fit a Rotax with some adapting.

    A good example of why not to shake a baby.....
    It would be interesting to see what verification he has, apart from his own word, Somebodies word is not really what high end investors either want or will accept as evidence.....

    Actually this guys been having his own dreams on tm for a while, a couple of months ago he saw i was watchlisting a $35 item, so he fixed price offered it to me for $35000, he relisted, i hadn't removed it from my list, so again it expired and he offered them to me for $350000, so i pressed the buy button and trademe debited his account of a large pile of their commission, he couldn't list, he cried, he was only having a joke was his excuse, same as mine.....
    turns out you can still watchlist and get FPO's when blacklisted.



    Why not ask him about the 1000 models produced elsewhere, it would have been a big job tooling up to do just 200 bikes, and not 1000 like the article claims
