Old news, old thread... etc etc. And... Smoker mentioned HGT and the FI project, AFAIK Roger isnt doing that any more as the HGT was a nutter, you only had to see the posts he made on RDRZ500 to see that.

That was all a long time ago.
I was part of an invite only 2 stroke forum that his partner frequented. He had his own version of events.
My login probably doesn't work any more as they lock you out if you're inactive.

old news.

They could have made a mint if they kept it simple with the motor and sold DIY kits which put the onus on the DIY builder.

Hey Richard Bruckner was a GM efi engineer for 31 years......... blah blah blah :rotfl:

Like Jeff I got to hear both sides of the story, sad part is people the money to spend will think twice now.

haha Lozza, if we heard that story once... sigh... RB was/is a real idiot. Funny when you look back, but what a waste of everyones time.

The TSS website was down last time I looked and someone on Norbos forum said Steve had been very ill, someone else said he had left his home and moved away now.

Im still amazed that the TSS fallout story is harder to find that the website links, which is/was a worry when newbies came along looking for info and parts I always thought.

Like Lozza says its a shame on many levels, even if many guys (like me and a few here) bought good parts from him/them over the years.

Not that I can tell mate, i know Roger form Wicked sent him a banshee engine that he had rebuilt so he had something to work on, but I dont even know if he got it back, too sore a point to ask him about I reckon as a year back when i spoke to him and mentioned HGT he didnt say anything that sounded promising...

400 has been done in the last 18 months. Was a 400 to fit into the rules of the class it's racing in
