I am curious how many people here race,or are building race bikes ? How many road race, dragrace,land speed, flat track, enduro, mx,ice race? And I am referring to vintage two strokes only.

Used to road race, currently drag race a GT750.

Somewhere here in this mess of a shop I still have a lightweight TZ350 that I need to get together.

I have been boring everybody with my Seeley T500 replica race bike project

Used to race an original Seeley T500 thirty odd years ago.

I guess that makes three Buffalo's drag racing in the midwest? TZ do you run at the Grove or Byron? Geoff I'll bet you have a few good stories! My Titan is ready to make a pass ,but my track runs many bracket races and very little test and tune, which is what I need.

Hello Jim,

To give you something to ponder, I was discussing T500 engine tune with a well known specialist and he said he once got 100+bhp from a T500 engine tuned for drag racing. Good luck on the strip

Cheers Geoff

Well as per my other post (TR500 replica) I used to race this baby. I'm now too old and knackered so I just potter about on my GT750J and I'm currently restoring a 1973 T500. as you may have guessed I've got a bit of a thing for the old 500's

100 rwhp? I'm guessing about 60/65 out of my twingle combo! Paul that bike is really fine and sounds like a great runner. My Friday night shakedown run got cancelled, track timing light system is out.....

That is a beauty. Can't help but notice you look like Matt Lauer. I'm sure you are a way better person then he! (him?)

Very nice

I see you are from Wales, do you race at Pembrey? I raced superkarts there a couple of times, pissed down with rain both times

Hi OR,

Here is the man and his Seeley at Aberdare Park a couple of years ago, looking good

Cheers Geoff
