Yeah it's a really nice thing, the owner has a ultra rare carbon fibre framed Armstrong Rotax also. From best we can determine 12 were built and 8 remain.

Ah yes I see it now, over the brow between 3 & 4, the mound in the back ground threw me.

Would take a very good LC to keep this in sight.

New Zealand is still big on the BEARS racing so have the budget Bimota almost ready for an outing

The CB900 roll-a-door is a Rex Wolfenden built bike, been talked about entering a BEARS meeting with the Armstrong to see if it's promptly banned.
Mark will P6 Proddies be at the EC titles? Did you get that KTM stator email?

Armstrong Rotax sounds like BEARS to me. Can't see how it would be an issue, but you never know what has been outlawed in Aussie.

Should be good to go, Lozenge. I've seen Bimota-Yamahas accepted before today, and an Armstrong-Rotax couldn't be less of a Jappa.
BTW that yummy Freddie replica Bol d'Or turned up at the Island Classic a couple of years ago, and even sports an acetate front number plate sporting #19, it is just wonderful !  :o
