Your welcome. Thought it interesting that a gent by the name of Bill Ivy was Barry's bike hero and Barry went into a deep ashma attack when he heard Bill parished in a 1969 bike racing accident. Ck'd Bill out and noted he rode a two stroke Jawa 350cc. Suspeciously it appears TZ makers took their engine and styling cues from this bike; maybe even Suzuki RG's too boot.

In 1981 the Bill Ivy Race was created featuring RD350's racing at Brands Hatch 1981. The race featured Charlie Williams who won the Isle of Man TT on a Yammie 350.

Then you have Berry Sheene commententating on the RD350LC /RZ Pro Am race series. Hmm - small world.
