steve fracy Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Saw him last at El Trial about 8 years ago, he was spectating. He had a bike the other day, although he didn't compete. That is awesome! Have not seen or heard of him for decades! I keep in contact with D.Pyle and will drop him a line and see what he remembers also!

dmartinson Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 We had a guy here in Wyoming that wound up with Michaud's '87 works 303. It was brought over for him for the Pennsylvania world round, then left in the USA for Bernie Schreiber to ride the rest of the nationals on. I don't know all the details of the bike, but it had removable flywheel weights and aluminum axles. Rumor has it that Bernie didn't get paid, so he sold the bike. I can't imagine Honda/Montesa leaving Bou's bike behind these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fracy Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Yes that is true that Bernie did have Michaud's bike after the World Round.....and I ended up riding Saunders bike that was left here too, later in that year! So much better than the stock one. The motor was amazing.....dont know what was done to it but is was good! Aluminum sub frame as well. I dont believe the rumour about Bernie not being paid though...

t-shock 250 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 If you read the Tommi Ahvala interview on retrotrials it would appear that not many people got paid at all by fantic back then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
