Came across two interesting stories related to 2 stroke motorcycles winning races using snowmobile and boat motors:

Thought it was a deep fake ad lol.

An Elsie sold last week at Mecum for $6000 US. Couple rd500's in the 20K plus range.
Well, so much for reasonable Canuck prices currently. Thought perhaps the price bubble had popped by now.

No price stated. Nice sample.

Not exactly a custom (better stock imo). He did a nice resto - congrats James.

Plus / Minus's on the champs.

Yep, me too and I was in tears. Been a while but it was enjoyable.

One of the few times I've watched a full bike review and howled at the results. It's all about quality control - no doubt about it. Feel lucky I own a bike from the 1980's. Amazon buyers beware lol.

Reminds me of $ the previous RD ads

Appears both sold. Bare did yours sell?
Here's a sample from Blighty 8 days ago - 11,995 quid. Yish... nice sample but could not afford those European prices.

Just want to appreciate the effort/commitment in authoring this literal trials and tribulations race blog. It gave me insight into how refined racing, abit in a straight line, can be via two stroke bike. Also enjoyed the RZ blowing away the Victory drag vid. Showed it to my biker buds and they joked...

There's one more:
