Just the thing for nipping down the shops for some biscuits.

As long as the shop is on a hill (no kickstarter).

Thx for the 2nd vid. Best part 1:19, brrap, brraap brraaap...! Chainsaw on 2 wheels - wicked.
Here's a vid on the track following it. Its current home I believe is in Washington State. The rider's comment is typical re the 2 stroke experience. Glad I got mine to enjoy - Its Christmas every time I ride.

Roberts revisiting the Indy Mile in 2009 and taking a TZ750 for a spin. He was worried about getting it right after so many years. Looks like he nailed it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k8hJWKIVNs

In 2009- A 58 year old Kenny Roberts takes a hot lap on a TZ750 at the Indy mile dirt track KR: "I haven't ridden a motorcycle in a year" "I didn't practice before the event because there's no practice that can gear me up to ride a TZ750 at that mile"
"It came back to me..... I'm here in one piece- that's the main thing"

Thank you for that link. My thoughts after seeing the video:
It leaves me wishing that old video from 1975 was as clear as we have today.
I want some of that classic Yellow and black gear all of the Yamaha guys were wearing.
