Lol, my TZ250 was road worthy a couple of times in the Toronto/Mississauga boarder area on the Queensway back in '86. Nothing like slicks on the road. I'm just lucky I never got caught.

Yep the trusty old HJ (El Camino I wish )
The Cr is long gone .
Should of keep it, it was an ex Jeff Leisk bike , bit history there
I really pissed the HD riders off when they got smoked :smt019
