Love the clear float bowls and powerjets on the lectron carbs on the GT750!

As to the rest, I am flat jealous.

Ive been there(Barber) awesome place and the track is cool as hell. I might do a track day with my class in the spring. My teacher knows some mechanic there and is trying to get a few in our class track day next spring. The only way Ill go is if I get a newer bike. Im working on that....

Very nice pics and very cool bikes!!!!

Sweekster,
My sentiments entirely I grew up racing Triumphs & other Brit iron but I started winning on the Kawa triples AKA the widowmakers.
They had a power band like a lightswitch virtually all or nothing and the frame was like maccaroni around the 750's at least the smaller bikes whilst a handful were not quite so demanding.

When I quit England it was to a country with only Suzuki, Yamaha & Bultaco, sadly the Suzuki was a very rotten model the TS 185 underpowered vibration prone street bike dressed as a trail bike I binned it and bought a Bultaco Alpina & a Yamaha MX 125 and then got back to winning silverware :-}
