It did'nt look like you were going very fast that guy on that scooter was staying in front of you! :smt003 And it looked like one of those guys had some groceries on board? :smt003 Just joking man thanks for the vid. wish I could have heard the motor a bit more though.

The "scooter" is a friend of mine, first time on track with his Fresh rebuilted ASPES 125 JUMA, a 1980 Italian two stroke racer, He didn't know that I was filming him...He discovers his bike as I discovers mine (thats the first 100 miles with my 385! :smt004 )

Nice pics! If I'm not wrong, that is the third tail you've mounted on that TZR, right?
Is it maybe a Honda 125 tail? It makes a well balanced ensemble.

Yes, the seat is from my RS 125 NX4, I like swap. It goes really well, same width as the tank, and the low side of the seat get married perfectly with the banana italian 4DL1 swingarm, amazingly :smt007
My RS has now a Morbidelli 125 1978 seat (I made a replica in carbon) :smt004

I also ride thin GP 125 race slicks tyres, on rims 3"5 115/70/17 rear and 2"75 95/70/17 front. It's just PERFECT! But beware, the clearance from ground is reduced, it's ok with 105mm Belly pipes, not with 120mm ones...
but for French "Hillclimb" (on tarmac of course :smt003 ) I swap for 4" and 150 tyre, and keep my 2"75 front belgarda rim, but with a classic 110/70/17, homologated tyres obliged...

Hi, here's a little video from a short regional roadrace, my first one! I finished second in my category "initiation" and 38 out of 98 scratch, without any recognition, just three tries.

That video is scary, Isle of Man 2.0

Etienne, I do not intend to copy your style or anything, but... Do you mind if I get a Honda 125 tail? Every time I see it, it looks to me as if it had been made for our bikes.

Thanks!
I am 6"4 tall (1m94) and 185 pounds (84 kg)
TZR weights 280 pounds without gas (127 kg)
and SDR 194 pounds (88 kg) Dry but with fork and shock oil :smt002

Go on Ricino, no problem!

Another video of this week end , at The French RZ 350 (RDLC) meeting in Paris (I don't like the city, but the track is cool :smt004 )
There is a good mixture of two strokes, from Honda rs 125 to RG 500 and also an English man (Steve) who came from Lincoln alone with his 3MA framed RZ 500!!!
The first i've passed is a friend of mine discovering my SDR 330 :smt023
