    Anyone know this business??

    Interesting

    Be interesting to see if the revival gets it larger than it was before.
    Still think there is plenty of market opportunities to supply parts
    on a global scale. Be it Bevel or Belt drive Ducati's.

    A few PSB'ers came across Brook on a S/West ride recently - he told us he'd bought the company back off Sprintex...
    Love the 'Bevel Inside' logo
    Nice place (Nannup) to be operating out of too!

    Here is some history.

    Alchemy Ducati Australia Vee Two Brook Henry

    Brook took a standard set of bevel drive heads and completely redesigned them and fitted belts to a bevel drive engine. The thing was a sight to behold and hear at full noise down the straight at the Donnybrook round the houses meet.
    They hung a sign up in our town "If you live it up, you won't live it down"-Tom Waits

    He's been down Nannup for a while. I know this because some random local guzzi fan accosted me there whilst I was hunting beroccas a couple of months ago. Apart from extensive history of racing guzzis, he told me Henry was there and back in business.

    yeah, Brook picked up all the machinery just before Christmas. ATG kept the veetwo name because of the supercharged hypermotard and monster projects, as well as the superclutch. But Brook recently got the name back as well.
    I think itll be a while before he's doing some real manufacturing because he's still a one man show, but I've seen some sweet castings he's had done for bevel heads and he say's he's getting cases done as well...

    ED: Brook has a NEW Alchemy frame/body kit available... offered to me but i've just bought yet another bike so i'm screwed ATM. Kit needs a donor bevel/wheels/suspension/electrics.... Brook has all this and more. Contact him directly if you're interested.

    Sort of - there were a couple of threads on ducati.ms about it a year or so ago.
    Click here to see my Ducati 999R in the PSB garage... You'll love it!

    Don't click here to see my ZX9R aka The Ginger Ninja... there's no link!
