Just spoken to Langy about the Higgs engine and he has not heard of it , he's gunna have a look anyway, been having a good look at it me self , the Higgs engine , and I'm gob-smacked at the ingenuity of some people in the Speedway and Dirtrack world.

Fossil, the amount of historical & tech info on there is unbelievable, we'll be referring to it forever now.
Dutch has already earned his stipes.

Firko.

<The latest engine he bought is another Rickson 2V Jawa conversion engine, apparently it's the same as a Briggo, made before Rickardson sold the patterns to Barry Briggs>
Does that mean that Jonesy owns 2 Ricksson Conversion for a JAWA?
On the first Briggo Conversions there was on top OL Briggo because they where made by Otto Lantenhammer.
Also there is some difference between a Briggo and a Ricksson.

OK , OK , I know it's a bit off topic but you all may find this interesting , it's owned by Bob Sunderlands brother , Dave , I think , not sure , will find out.



It's in a BSA frame and is , so I've been told , one of the cylinders and head off an 1100cc alloy v twin, note splayed pushrod tubes and carby out the left side
