Hi,

The little that I know is that she was raced by Barry Hickmott in the 1971 Austrian GP.

It's a Kriedler, (Dutch). Brian Woolley was a noted (British) tuner of small 2-strokes, and built some fearsome racers. He died 5 (?) or so years ago.His collection of bikes was taken over by Richard Rosenthal of The Classic Motorcycle magazine here in the UK. Perhaps you could contact him as he writes a "You were asking" column in the mag.

I'd love to hear what that engine sounds like!  Any chance you can make a recording of it for posting on the "Sounds" page?

Cheers

Nigel.

Hi Nigel,
it does sound really nice, but I have to change the clutch first, when she's ready I will try and record some sound and send it.
