Lovely. And refreshingly not one of those builds where it's all been shipped out to an expensive professional restorer.
always preferred the smell of jet fuel in the mornings....
Nothing wrong with a bit of Jet A1.

Pipedream No1 was to get a chemist to produce a Castrol R spray and diffuser
Pipedream No2 was to have diesel dyed flouro so you could spot the stuff
Pipedream No 3 was to get George Silks bikes back into production

Not so much when it's still in liquid state, having your head stuck in a fuel tank for any time isn't fun or when it gets on your clothes, stinks for an age!

very nice i must say..I love 2 strokes and have owned many including a 75 GT750 (kettle) with genuine swarbrick spannies. The best sounding 2 stroke ive ever owned was again a GT750 but with a Piper 3-1, (oldies might remember them) sounded glorious but ran terrible because of the piper but i kept it on

Saw a couple of tz750's at the Anglesey grand race meeting (end of race season bash usually held around October)about 12 years ago before the track got upgraded.
Absolutely awesome sounds and smells, they didn't look half bad either! I'd imagine they must've been a handful around there. (It was filthy weather the track was like a river in places)

. Unfortunately not mine. Belongs a matewas the teeshirt to have, back when I was falling out of planes. fresh from the exhaust of a twin otter or pilatus porter idling.... set the day up right. They used to lay on higher altitude on the first load in the mornings to get everyone out of their pit... we never complained, 14000 instead of usual 12..
back on topic, liked my two strokes right up to I had a go on my first GS1000, never went back after that...
