Hi all just joined the forum
I'm currently the owner of a tzr250 3ma I've had it 2 years and have slowly rebuilding it as when I got her she was in a sorry state
The engine had been demolished fairings were knackered and just about everything was hand painted

It's took 2 years and a lot of stripping cleaning and painting to get her to where she is today

She now runs and is very close to been finished she's not show standard but I do I tend on riding it as often as possible

Good to be here and merry Xmas

I also own a vtr firestorm in case u wanted to know lol

What TS - you mean you missed yesterdays ITV4 documentary on Kenny Roberts the golden years, last weeks rerun of the transatlantic match races & this afternoons Top Gear special where James May got to squeeze a tuned RG500 motor into an RS250 chassis & obliterate Clarkson in a Murcielago round Spa?
Even Gok Wan did a TV special squeezing a troupe of eastern european pole dancers into undersized Kushitani & Nankai leathers whilst simultaneously growing himself a pair of Haslam bugger grips. You should get out of the garage & watch more telly, you should.

R1Zman.. You will have to recommend your satellite service provider so I can tune to the channels your watchin'... Closest Ive got to your TV is watchin a repeat of top gear travelling across Vietnam on tiddlers only to sink them into the sea trying to turn them into boats..

I'm glad I don't ave a telly in the garage Rolling Eyes Wink

This film had a big influence upon me when I was 14 years old when I saw it on TV, particularly the bit at 6:47 where they are unpacking brand new TR's and running them "straight from the crate" just caught my imagination.

Can't remember how many times I got Barry's autograph, once in the ropey old toilets at Snetterton ...!
