Good video of Jeff Henise on the TZ about 3 weeks ago at Buttonwillow. Took a second in this race. Took 2 Firsts, a Second, and a Fourth Place, on the weekend.

Bonus footage from last weekend at Talledega. Short video. Ends abruptly. [smilie=ops.gif]

Jeff said that highside may have cost him the championship. Had a 2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, and 3rd place - then got a Zero when he highsided. That was on the Kawi 175. The TZ also blew a cylinder on the same day. Bikes are still in Florida. He'll have to fix them before he races at Barber Vintage Festival next week.

Good luck, dude!

His needle needs a clip adjustment or different taper.

He started in 3rd gear.

It's gotta be tough. He's a one-man show.
