ASSASIN * FOR SALE *


Jon made it up my way a week ago and picked up the BSA parts lot from my garage. We had a good time talking bikes and moving old parts around. He had to unload the Assasin out of the van at one point and he let me take it for a spin. This bike starts easily, sounds killer, and runs strong! Looking down at the super skinny front hoop spinning round it felt like the bike was on the prowl for the nearest drag strip. I blew it and didn't take the opportunity to get a picture of me riding it! Well, it's up for grabs now to fund the next build. Check it HERE.

Wanted to give a big thanks to Moto and the guys at Hardcore Chopper for the Bloody Nose bike feature, the DTMC club story and the package full of issues I got in the mail yesterday. Very Cool!

Mark Moriarty's Roth Style Glass Body Trike






Talked to Mark on the phone yesterday about the Mega Cycle. He's made a little progress on getting it back to the correct early version and is still looking for parts. If anyone has a matched pair of remote float AMAL carbs to sell the Mega Cycle is in need. He's built some really neat stuff. These pics are of his Roth inspired Trike.

Mikes Speed Tuning Magneto Timing Cover

PAUL
THOUGHT YOU MIGHT KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TIMING COVER MAGNETO SETUP I PICKED UP YESTERDAY. ITS A VERY NICELY CAST PIECE. I'M ASSUMING IT WORKS SIMILAR TO THE ARD MAGNETOS, BUT WITH A STANDARD PRE UNIT LUCAS MAGNETO. IT IS ALOT WIDER IN THE BELT DRIVE AREA THAN AN ARD MAG(SEE PIC). I WILL MOUNT IT LATER ON IN THE WEEK AND SEE WHAT I CAN FIGURE OUT. WONDERING IF YOU HAVE EVER HEARD OF THE COMPANY OR HAVE ANY INFO ON IT AT ALL. I WOULD GUESS IT WAS BUILT FOR FLAT TRACK RACING. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS TODD

Never seen one of these before. Anyone have any info on them?
