New member from the Netherlands

[Dutch]

Hi. Here is Dutch from the Netherlands, so sorry for my bad writing.
My BIG hobby is collecting information from speedway - longtrack - grasstrack bikes and engines.
I already have a big collection (pic - magazines - articles - etc) but specialy from bikes and engine made in New Zealand and Australia
there is a lot of information missing.
I hope to find on this forum some members with the same interest that can help me further.
Bye for now.

Welcome aboard Dutch,
Don't apologise for your writing because you were very easy to understand.
Speedway, Longtrack & Grasstrack are also passions of mine and several others on this forum also.
I'm not too sure about the New Zealand side of things but if you let us know a bit more about what you're after we'll be able to help.
Cheers, Steve

Hoony.
For some pics of my collection just look at the German website (with online English translation) http://bahnsporttechnik.de/home.html
This website is from my friend and I help him some technical advice.

I think that there are 4 type of the MSM engine, from the (first ?) engine (see link above) I only have this very bad picture, so I am looking for a better one.
In the old site "The Workshop"  http://www.cybermotorcycle.com/archives/speedwaybikes/msm.htm
there is also some information about the MSM engine, but look direct under the Specification, there is = With his health regained, Clarry once again took up the challenge. This time, a four-valve layout was evaluated as the most promising design. Operated by twin belt-driven camshafts located in the base of the cylinder head, actuating the valves through short pushrods and rockers, it was a radical design, but in the early prototype stage retained the proven crankcase and cylinder design of the earlier engines. Using a new porting layout to give more usable power in the lower rev ranges, low and mid-range acceleration was vastly improved.
Was this 4 valve engine ever made?
