83 RZ250 build
Moderator: rztom
I wish it was my GTHO. Had an alloy Big Block in it. The RGV is the bike I hope to break the 250 record on, but theres a few of us all going for it so it might take a while.
I was going to build a frame to take the RZ but its too good to wreck so will keep it pretty well standard appearance.
Thanx
Dave

The date has been moved forward next year trying to get some dry weather. 18 - 22 Feb 2013 so book ya holidays.Wintersnake wrote:Hey Dave, I mite see you at Lake Gardiner next March. I'll be the one trying to spank the 250 proddy record on a 3xv.
3 years of development and the old girl is a missle, now I just hope I've got my altitude/jetting in the ball park.
Ive unofficially broken the current MPS/G 250 record at one of our Test & Tune days that we run at Tailem Bend Motor Sport Park. Just timed with a GPS and on bitumen so it dosnt mean anything but tells me im in the running. We have another T&T day coming up next weekend so need to get the RGV back together after a ring check.
Aaron is that an ally swinger or have you had it powder coated? Bike looks great.
Thanx
Dave
