It’s good to see our friend Carsten Conrad isn’t shy about using his bike as the maker intended. The eagle-eyed may notice\u00a0the modern rubber\u00a0which he prefers having covered around 1500 miles last year, often\u00a0riding in company with more modern machinery. Averaging\u00a054km\/h over a 220km ride on back roads\u00a0and through small towns hints at some serious throttle abuse.<\/p>\n

Perhaps not surprisingly he is now\u00a0looking for more performance from the motor: “The bike runs good but not yet enough”.\u00a0 With a new piston, genuine TT90 head fitted with large valves and his own valve guides, the target is now 30hp. I suspect that it won’t end there…<\/p>\n

I recently donated my own spare Amac 10MDY to a worthy cause but if anybody has\u00a0one that they could pass on to replace\u00a0Carsten’s Amal 27\/013, please drop us a line to and we’ll put you in touch.<\/p>\n
