Hi Fred, I'm loving the bike! I did 3 race weekends this year with no problems. It has taken a bit of sorting out but I've got it working well now. I had a blast at Mosport with it. Here is a picture of the TZ in the pits at Shannonville: http://www.vrra.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/screen2.jpg Gla...
I think somebody has a false sense of what that bike is really worth! Just because it sat in your living room for 14 years does not make it worth $40,000! Drugs and ebay don't mix .
Since we are talking about TZ250's here is a good video on the early career of John Kocinski who kicked ass on a TZ250 reverse cylinder. These videos are starting to make me feel totally unqualified to ride my TZ .
This is a cool video of Gary Cowan on a stock reverse cylinder TZ250 going against much faster machines. Inspiration for Mosport for all the TZ riders! :D Gary Cowan campaigned the 1989 grand prix trail on the Dutch backed Doc shop Yamaha. He returned to Northern Ireland for the annual end of season...
Last I talked to him he said he could'nt make mosport this year, they are all going to the SOAR event apparently. I guess we don't buy enough tires....
