Was an awesome day!
Have you ever had a TZ500 go past you down craner curves?NO me neither,was something i will never forget.
Stand behind a TZ750 while its warmed up?
Erm its a crazy machine to look at,just a big flip off engine with pipes crammed everywhere/anywhere they can fit(heat proof leathers needed!).
Think you bikes loud?ever heard a F1 norton on full chat?madness!
There were a few RG500 specials and a stock RG5 that wasnt hanging about,some RD5 and RZV500's ripping round.
I saw the 2 stock looking B2's going round couldnt find where they were parked up to have a chat,was a hectic day.
I was out on my B2 in the stroker group (the other 2 kr's were in a mixed novice group),if you were there it was the one with the silver fairing and seat unit and stubby gibsons!
A friend of mine took his RD500 special(marlboro YZR rep) along that is a mixture of zxr400 frame and RSV mille running gear housing the RD motor.
My brother was on his V twin Tz250 and i also took the mad little h***a Rs125 along for a play.
Its a shame it wasnt a 2day event as there was so many amazing bikes to look at,but you didnt have time to look at them all,i spent most of my spare time changing jets on the TZ
.
The Kr ran faultlessly all day,it hadnt been used for about 5yrs when it had done 10 trackdays in a year so it was good motivation to get it back on track again.
After doing the mallory and donny CBT days i can only say,they are just what you want/need if you love the older stuff or 2 stroke bikes in general!
There were hardly any breakdowns (maybe mental but not on track!) and the standard of riding was good and courteous to others.
Cant wait til the next one!
