also heard of some strange operation where one had to sync the engine speed to clutch before engaging a gear.
was not a machine to go to war with i understand though i gather armstrogs made a showing in the gulf war. also saw on men and motors 'riding blind' the moto artillery team using them still.

Armstrong 350/500
The Armstrong 500 was a solid heavy single, and I used one in the Gulf during Op Granby (Gulf War 1).
The panniers could hold a 20Ltr jerry can in eack one.
They are still in service today, albeit, badged as a Harley Davidson and now 350cc with the most welcome kick start.
Would make an excellent winter hack.
