I recently talked to a friend who use To live close to the factory
he said he knew jock west and another person personaly and the stores of greeves bits kept in a barn on a farm claimed from the company skip
He witnessed a experimental griffon ? automatic gearbox trial one day outside the works track greeves proudly wheeled out a griffon ? with a automatic gearbox and asked bryan wade to try it (they wanted wade as a full time rider so keen to impress)he fired the bike up and rode round the track then jumped !
then landed skidding hitting his nose and breaking it on the handle bar brace.
the gearbox didnt work as well as the 360 AUTO HUSQVARNA
when the wheel was off the ground and the throttle eased back the gearbox changed to 1st leaving ride to be "spat off" i was told this didnt impress bryan at the time
also a rotary disk valve 350 oulton was also being developed !
and a short stroke qub 350 engine (now in cornwall given to a farmer who knew gordon blair).
gary
