As requested my Armstrong mt500 Canadian military version.

Post by DeadlyKamikazy » Fri Dec 09, 2016 2:56 am

So here's some pictures of my Armstrong mt500. It was one of 90 electric start bike purchased by the Canadian army in 1986 (number 76) . As far as I know only 100 were made world wide. The Jordanian government bought the remaining 10.
Came with all the tools and accessories with only 5000km.

Very nice! If only they made 3100 of them life would have been so much easier for me running bike courses in the Army! First half of the week was spent kick starting bikes for all the students!

Well I was told that during the first weeks the students weren't aloud to use the electric start anyway to force them to master the kickstart.
