He had it outside his shop when a passer-by saw it and offered him a bunch of $$, so before he sells it he let me take it out around town this afternoon....  :good2:  He's building another but liquid cooled 350 this time.  :good2: :good2:

I hung around a bunch of privateer racer2 s back in the 90's and I used to love the sound of the 2 stroke bikes running around the track and the smell of the Castrol racing oil was wonderful.

Sounds awesome!
I love 2-strokes! especially with tuned pipes............

I miss my El Tigre 6000 I had when I lived in NY
Liquid cooled, 500cc twin, Ported cylinders, shaved head, Boysen reeds, 40mm Mikunis, and Aaen tuned pipes...............It sounded sick!
It was way, way faster than it was safe.............

My wife bought an RZ350 for her first bike. It would do 117mph with my (@the time)275lbs on it

What year was your bike?

Ahhhh, snowmobile.
Nope. If I never see snow again, I'll be a happy boy.
