Number 5? is Alive!

The de Lautour brothers have had a lifelong interest in motorcycle racing and down the back of the workshop they have had a Suzuki TR250 parked up for quite a few years. Questions have always been asked about the fate of the bike, and recently the lads have decided to get her going and all going well, let her roll on some racing circuit tarmac again. Blue Haze Racing numbers are growing! It is no easy task recommissioning one of these old girls again and apart from seeing what the outside looks like, you have very few clues about the state of the inside of the motor and other running gear. The lads have been beavering away over the last few months and have got it to the point where it is runner! May was centred around making the bike quieter with extra mufflers added onto the chambers. The goal for this month is to give it some circuit time at the end of the month at the Friday testing day before the weekend Vic club Winter series meeting. After yesterdays round of testing at the Circuit de Andrew Young, it looks as though the clutch needs attention before that can happen. Any spare TR250/T20 clutch parts out there?
For those who aren't familiar with the Suzuki TR250 it was a race bike from the mid 60s, early 70s. It is based on the Suzuki T20 or X6 road bike from the sixties. The lads bike was built up from a race kit Suzuki supplied where you started with a standard road bike and went from there. Hopefully at a later date we can get a more detailed technical report on the recommissioning and the history of the bike.  Steve Roberts is a part of the story!
