Yes John, The pair from BC. I was posting for the pleasure of viewers but you found me out! Your good friend Dave is the only one who has seen them in the flesh. My man Nunzio has only seen them in hi-res photo's even. The WW thought is largely a local bike from Andrew at ATR. The Lucky Strike was built out there at Mongoose engine wise. Not for sale presently and would only sell the Lucky Strike if any. The valuation would lead me to want to sell to the US because of the dollar and the difference is so large now it's hard for us to compete. Perhaps were are now an export market? I am a fan of yours, your mechanic skills are most enviable, Dan

Dan

I know Nunzio and Andrew. It's a small smoker community. Been trying to buy Andrew's big Gamma, but would like it more complete than its current state.

Should you decide to sell locally I might be interested. Registered and plated in Ontario?

Dave is slowly acquiring my collection, one bike at a time. To get even I decided to keep the Hawk GT I bought for him in October :mrgreen:

John, ATR on both bikes as the LS has Andrews old Racetech VJ22 front end on it. Those aren't GSXR calipers but Nissin 6 piston racing ones. Ontario Title is a matter of processing the Japanese paperwork for the frame. My NSR buddy Bobby does it often and has the contacts for translation etc. I'm still surprised Dave didn't grab a TZR and NSR off me when I was selling them. I've had guys drive 12 hours one way to grab one! Those chances often only happen once. I only have one 250 left now. Kept the Hawk did ya, good thing he has that CBR500 then! As for value, LS has full Nova gearbox so that alone adds a heap of cash to the equation. Not as crazy as the WW but it all costs. You set a high standard and the LS would meet with your approval I would hope. The WW is on a whole other level. I sent you an email with some photo's, Dan

John, File was to large. Sent a smaller one but maybe an old email address, not sure but it seems to have been delivered? I posted some after trying a few times, Dan

Begbie, ATR invoice from Andrew says Race Cranks. http://www.alienracing.net/bikes.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I believe they were subbed out to old Toronto race shop Leitner & Bush. I assume they've been welded but Andrew could clear that up!
They look nice for sure and are virtually new. Even the LS is shod on Penske and Racetech, both engines like new each under 2000km.

Used to be Leitner and Bush 10 years ago. Just Gord Bush performance now. Gord does all of Andrew's crank work.

Race cranks may refer to uprated bearings and balancing.

Thanx John, Race cranks invoice is from 2005 so bikes are 10 years NEW so it probably was still Leitner and Bush when they were done. Dave asked me why he built 2. I never asked but I think he built the LS and wanted an even nicer one. LS is a VJ23 style similar to a Schwantz bike . WW is very much like the Rossi NSR style bodywork circa 2000 like a cheap RONAX, if the word cheap makes any sense!

My ATR RGV500 WW Replica is the best riding experience of my whole life! I am hopeful my 3ma500 project will rival it in the end!
