Ariels had a banded clutch as standard, Pancho. Musta been because they put out more horse power

This is the type of thing you need Pete. This one's made for a 250/465 Yamaha 2 stroke but someone may be making a billet clutch basket for the XL/XR Honda

Wiseco, Hinson, Barnett???

Managed to find a banded FT500 one and it is at Bill's place now, I did see one in England for sale (billet) but hopefully the band will hold it.

Maybe Foss, but not after a set of Carey Cams and a bit of compression!

We all used Sid Willis pistons I reckon Foss!

Yeah, he made a few , didn't he ? his black board calendar read " so many days to Bathurst, so many pistons to make "

My mate Jeff Pagett and I after disassembling the engine to take with us, ex-sidecar racers seem to make good tuners and he has been a great help.

That is my Aussie Pre-70 Dirt tracker, been a great project, finally came to fruition in Canberra last year with a win in that class.

Hey Mates !!!

Pete & Colleen Lee arrive here next week And Dave & Kelly Grasy in August.
Nancy & I are looking forward to having them both here for awhile.We are going to try to see them both race the Kansas Series if I can get the time off.
I was just off last week driving the western US coast and it was beautiful.
We are still trying to get back to Oz maybe next year as Nancy has never been.
We'll keep you posted.
Take care.

Miss Alison !!!

We'll see on that but my ribs still hurt from tangling with a couple of the Super Seniors last time I was over there.The ground is a lot harder at Wandring than at Narrogin.Hope things are going well there.
Take care.

With respect to my West Aussie friends, I think you and Nancy would enjoy the other side of the island this time. We've got dirt track on this side.
