Owner and designer Lang Hindle actually started his business in the Canadian
Race scene many years ago. His career as a roadracer started out in 1969. In
that year, Lang rode a 650 BSA at Mosport Race Track. His first real race
started in 1970, he rode a Rocket 3 BSA, a 3 cylinder motorcycle at Hairwood,
in Southern Ontario, Canada. Through 1970-72 he kept racing his Rocket 3 BSA.
The Rocket 3 BSA that Lang was using was considered unlimited because he had
built the frame, swingarm and of course the exhaust system. Before he turned
pro, Lang won the Junior Unlimited championship on his modified Rocket 3 BSA
against the high-powered 4 cylinder Honda and the Yamaha TZ700. After
winning the junior championship Lang Hindle turned pro in 1973. In 1973 he
rode a modified Z1-Kawasaki as a privateer. In his first race on the pro
circuit at Sanair race track, Lang blew the field away by half a lap to win
his first pro race. This was the beginning to a very successful pro career.
