We thought we would share these nice testimonials from home and abroad:

The Harold Parson Memorial Event

The Norton Big 4 ran like a watch. The trip was from Melbourne to Maffra in Gippsland to the East of Melbourne, Lovely little country town with a really good motor museum. The Maffra motorcycle club has organised a Harold Parsons Memorial ride there for the last 30 years. Worth Googling Harold Parsons. In the 1920’s he rode an Indian Scout 1114.5 miles in 24 hours over local roads that were gravel and just graded with a hay rake. Many world records came his way that. Eventually killed later when he ran into a horse. No fences in those days.

From Maffra we rode on a timed trial up to another lovely little place called Dargo up the high country that lies between Melbourne and Sydney. Very hilly and forested with mountain streams running down the valleys. Very beautiful.  About 120 old bikes on the run. Many  Velos and Vincents. I met one old man who son was riding an immaculate Thruxton Venom. He was riding a Vincent sidecar outfit. He saw my Norton T-shirt and told me he had 17 of them including several Manx’s that had won international races. Lots of old boys like him on the run. Always surprises my biking vistors to discover just how many really good British bikes still exist and get used in Oz. 

Return journey was uneventful part from the fact I over-adjusted my rear brake which seized until I backed it off. A Round trip 500miles. Bike starts first kick now. Plug now also a much better colour and cleaner. Brakes still a bit dicky in modern traffic but I’ll get some more modern compound linings fitted soon.

Very interesting that no-one amongst a very knowledgeable group picked your maggie as different from the original. The other thing is that climbing the big hills in the high country the advance/retard seemed spot on. No pinking and always a clean pick up too. Best bit about the whole thing though is the dead easy  ”can’t get it wrong” fitting procedure and the fact that timing then stays right ever more.

I’m delighted with the magneto.

"I want to say how pleased I am with my new electronic mag/dyno from you folks. My son and I installed it together onto my 1958 BSA Gold Star DBD34 500cc. It installed very easily and your instructions are perfect. My son had the honour of starting it first and what a smile for both of us - It literally started 1/2 way through first the kick and ran perfectly! He kept the bike running while I installed the seat and it did not load up or foul at all. Although it was the day after Christmas and 9:30 pm he rode it in very cold weather and it ran perfectly. I'm hoping my 29 year old son will continue his interest in classic British motorcycles.
Thank you very much and also for the quick shipment that was received in just a few days".

"Peter,
Installed your BT-H ignition on my Velo on Friday & took it out for a 125 mile ride on Saturday. WOW!! I thought that I had a good running bike before but your system made an unbelievable improvement. The bike is smoother, quieter & has more power. Uphill switchback turns that I used to have to take in 1st gear I was able to take easily in 2nd. The throttle response is perfect with no lags or surging. I will recommend your unit to anyone who is complaining about their old mag.
I am interested in knowing the advance curve for the Velo unit. Is it the same as what you have listed for the Vincent Comet or is it different?

Thanks Very Much,
                                     Jim."
