More Suzuki TR250 fettling

The NSRs ran like clockwork all day.
Are those helmets the same?

Tony and grandson. Best to start them early.

Chappys lovely bit of bling!

"One day I will make it onto the track"

Amazing what you can do with a TF125.

Says it all!

Bringing an older motorcycle back to a running and rideable condition, it is never an easy task. When it is a race bike one could argue it can be even more difficult. Kim and Pauls efforts with there TR250 have provided an insight into this frustrating process. Kim decided to use a track day at the beginning of this month to give the TR its first taste of a track in goodness knows how many years. Before bringing it to the track Kim checked to make sure it was going to start and all seemed fine. As the photos and video show it didn't quite work out at the track. All part of the fettling process. It was great to see many of the two strokes who had come along for the day congregated in the same area, with great support and camaraderie in evidence through out the day. I am sure Kim appreciated it.
Whilst Kims day ended in frustration, it was great to see Mike back with his bevy of two stroke bikes  that all got an outing on the day. It was also a family affair with brother and son out for a spin and mother, wife, daughter in law and grandchildren in support as well.  Nice to see Tim supporting his son Alex through his first go on the track and despite a couple of 'intimate' moments with the track. Alex is keen to have another go soon. great. Mike provided a nice juxtaposition with how there is nothing more satisfying than a nicely running two stroke performance motorcycle. Immaculately presented, as always, his Yamaha TR1 provided a wonderful cacophony of sights and sounds to warm the heart of a two stroke enthusiast. I am sure Kim has similar picture in his head and undoubtedly very soon it will be for real. Mind you, by the end of the day Mike and his family ended up with an extensive workshop 'to do' list. All part of what I believe is called "Two Stroke Joy".
Dion had an excellent day with not a mechanical gremlin or track conversation in sight. He certainly got his moneys worth out of the day! His NSR ran like clockwork, and he is looking good for the season. I hear a trip down south to Levels is on the calendar. Hopefully Kim can have the TR fettled by then.
