FIRST RIDE
The Hunwick Hallam
By Alan Cathcart
r
eeple are always talking about the
Australian rider factory, that hidden crucible of Down Under riding talent out in the bush somewhere
near Wagga Wagga or Kalgoorlie that
produces a constant stream of worldclass riders from Wayne Gardner to
Troy Corser, Mick Doohan to Anthony
Gobert, Rob Phillis to Garry McCoy.
- Well, now comes the Australian
Motorcycle Company's factory - and if
you didn't see the fruits of its three
years of labor here in these photos, you
might have a hard time believing that
Aprill hadn't come a bit early.

shock mounted near the steering head.
(Above) The HH is powered by a 1385cc 9O-degree V-twin that acts as a stressed member in
the unusual chassis.
