A beautifully crafted machine built by Canberra machinist the late Howard Wallace.
The Howall's history began back in 1984 not long after Bimota released its KS2. While Howard liked the KS2 he was not attracted to the price so he decided he could design and build his own version of it, a process that would take 2 years and many hundreds of hours.
In 1983 he had been fortunate to be able to purchase for just $500 an accident damaged Suzuki 750 ESD with just 3000km on the clock.
By the time he finished building 'The Howall' he had invested just $3500 into the project.
Unfortunately, in 2008 at the age of 49 Howard passed away after having contracted Motor neurone disease. He had spent the previous 12 years building a stunning 1948 454 Chev Pick-up from the ground up. Both the Howall and the Pick-up are magnificent vehicles by which the family proudly remembers him.
The Howall is displayed at The National Motorcycle Museum of Australia in Nabiac NSW.
