Chiao a tutti ! ;=)

I had promisse to write more about the history of the Monark GP 50 cc project .
So this part two of this little story :)

I told that one of them Monarks was lost, but that was not true.
When I was looking for more information from a another source here in Sweden he told me that it still
exist but shown very rare.
That information made me dig deeper for more photos and storys behind that bike.
So today I have worked like James Bond to find out more.
Hopefully that will give fruit the comming days.
We will se about that.

Tonight I will start to give you readers a scanned page from a famous motor cycle magazin here in Sweden named MC-nytt!
The year is 1972 and the reporter is Robert Lavér sitting on one of the bikes.
He rides both the bikes and give his viuve about riding style engine caracteristisc etc.
There is two more guys there.
The team boss and constructor Göran Henningsson and Lars Persson.

Robert Lavér will show up later both in the seventies and also this year.
More info will come regarding that.

We can also se here what we talked about ealyer the VERY NARROW handle bars...

The ragliment says that the handlebars MUST be at least 550 mm in width.
therefor the funny tubes sticking out.

I dont know if you can translate the swedish magazin or if you want me to do the translation in English.
We see about that.

We keep in touch my friends!

Arrivederci a tutti ! ;)
