December 17, 201312 yr 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! Steve
February 17, 201412 yr 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.
February 18, 201412 yr 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...
February 19, 201412 yr If you read the Tommi Ahvala interview on retrotrials it would appear that not many people got paid at all by fantic back then!
