Doesn't steal any thunder, and yes the Sprite does win hands down. Sorry to have stolen part of your thread about a beautiful bike. That's a great article you found, but I believe there is more to the story regarding Alron and hopefully I'll get it out of the old man. then again i could be totally wrong!!lol |

Are Alan and Ron Lyon still around? I'd like to find out their take on the saga in addition to the piece Ray did in an early VMX. What happened to the spares and left over bikes after it all went pear shaped?

Oh well keep plodding along-got my relies in UK having a poke around the West Midlands area for some Sprite History  cheers |

I know of one possible Husky engine from one Sprite at this point in time in WA---on a roll now... Hoping Tossa will have more news of the Alron pieces/parts -roll on page 5 .. |

My father Brian Mitcheson has returned from the UK, he has had a quick look at the thread and has headed home to gather his thoughts and provide some information that he can remember of the "Alron". With what he inferred to me this could get quite juicy!!!

great research firko, amazing what is coming out. JC is going to ring my father to get the info he has on the Alron story. thought it would be better that way, as I might appear biased. But from my conversation with him when he got back from UK it could be very interesting. It's amazing when you think back on what derivatives the Sprite was responsible for
