| AMMEX motorcycles were started by Gary Jones. Made in Mexico they were built from the ashes of Islo powered Cooper motorcycles. I raced against Gary Jones at Corona Raceway's TT track not long after he started AMMEX. They let him race against us amateurs because even though he was a 3 time National Moto-Cross Champion he was not familiar with TT and he was on a MX bike. He smoked me and everyone else in the race. I still remember how he attacked the corners like a motocrossers (pivoting at the apex of the corner then launching to the next corner. Way different sliding through corners like us flat trackers. |
I raced one TT on a Maico and even though I tried my very best I was passed by a real big fat guy on a Honda XL500.
ReplyDeleteHi i have purchased a early 70s Bombadair Bandit cross , and need some parts , know of any guys you might have any ? thanks IAN.
ReplyDeleteDid you mean Bombardier Bantam Cross. Is it like a mini-bike? If so, I think these may have been made by Garelli and badged as a Bombardier. Try looking for Garelli parts. I think you'll find them more plentiful. Good luck.
