Correction: At the AHRMA Barber race I saw Len Fitch, the owner of the bikes I raced at St. Eustache Sept. 7&8. He informed me that the bike I raced in Sunday's final Vintage GP was a TZ 350D, not a 250 as I thought he had told me. This makes more sense, as I wonder why an older TZ 250 would have motor on a later RS 250 Honda. I will now edit the St. Eustache report.
Barber (and Daytona report to come).
Dave Roper, the first American ever to win an Isle of Man TT, will be riding a restored 580cc Indian TT model v-twin in the 2011 TT. Roper has a lifetime of achievement in vintage racing, including more than 20 AHRMA national championships as well as his win of the 1984 Senior Historic TT on a G50 Matchless. Support the first motorcycle to ever win the Senior TT on the Mountain Course, the only American marque to win at the event and the only American racer to ever win the Senior Historic TT!

ReplyDeleteThe younger J.Wood wanted to sell me a pre-owned MX bike a while back.
During testing it had some "driveablity" issues, so I just said "lets swap bikes" to let him sort it out, while I did laps on his Honda CRF250.
Only later did I realize it was a 450 (hey, they look the same too me). -- It seemed pretty crisp - LOL
