Ok you thought the Alron story might have come to an end.  I've just been informed that a brother of one of the VMXWA members has bought an Alron in England.  I'm looking into it!!!

My ‘bro in England has just purchased an Alron/Sprite with a Talon motor.
The bike is missing it’s points cover,he believes there may be a Talon motor in Aussie somewhere (he noticed postings on OZVMX)

He's looking for parts

Unless your related to a Pom in the club then it's a different bike

If it was purchased in UK it wouldn't technically be an Alron, it'd  be a Sprite tho Talon was the model name American Eagle called the 405.

But of course, the Alron 400 was just a rebadged Sprite 405, w the Alron emblem stuck on in WA - nothing more.

quote from the email I received as we were discussing my father attending on the 25th, but i am going to follow it up today when i get home from work (night shift)

"I am very interested in the Alron, my brother has just bought one in England.can’t wait to see it"

Though i don't know about Alison's though she does say Alron/Sprite!!  and as you say with the Talon Motor!!mmm

Alison...I reckon he'd have more luck finding a points cover in the UK or even better, the USA than here in OZ. I only know of one Talon embossed engine here and it's spoken for! The Talon is just a model name for the American Eagle 405, it's doubtful to the extreme that he'd have an Alron. Get your bro to read the previous 34 pages of posts, where he'll learn that the Sprite/AE/Alron are the same bike! The differences are that the outer cases on the American Eagle/Talon are embossed with the AE or Talon logo. Everythings interchangable though.

Tossa ,we really must stop quoting our own personal emails it can get confusing,     though we do only have one mad capped collecting pommy president    who has a bro in UK..sorry for the confusion. Waiting on photos for the above Talon/AE UK bike.

Thanks Firko he obviously saw the Talon sidecase that  I posted up two pages back and though we still have truck loads of Sprite/Talon 405 /AM bits here in Oz   
I reckon he will be back to read more, as this it the most pro site for the Sprite     

[Tossa]

It's amazing in one email he states just alron and in the next it's alron/sprite.  Now i am confused!!!!

[VMX247]

I made a phone call to confirm, it was bought off UK ebay 2 weeks ago and maybe still be in completed listings.I cant find it, you may.
He hasn't picked it up yet from his mate's in UK,so no pics just yet
