Rodger.  It is interesting that you mention Phil and his analysing of suspension etc.  This is probably why he brought a Maico in 1977 an AW400. Noel Harker got to race the Maico.  He (Noel) ended up getting the bike back a few years ago and rebuilt it.  Just another point Stewart's name is spelt Stewart McLachlan, a great rider taken from us way to early.

It probably would've been 79 when Phil was doing the suspension testing.. Stewart was still getting up to speed in 78 and Pelle went back to Europe to race the GP's in 80.
I remember Stew running Ohlins at one time in that period

a bit of interest on Pelle's 390 from 1979, i ended up with it towards end of '79, it was a rocket, had excellent suspension but not much different to the other stock 79 cr i had, just better, it was also faster than my stocker,not a lot but faster and smoother, it also didnt steer,not for me anyway!  Pelle said steer it with the throttle!  Lovely engine, just wish it steered like my '81 430, or better still if they both steered like my '82 RM!

My apologies in the spelling of Stewart's name.
