My brother Pat Evans raced a Don Vesco TZ350 to an AMA national win over Pat Hennen in 73' Ontario Junior race. Love the piston port sound.

[@MikeSpikeEdwards]

He must have been a good rider to push Pat Hennen to second spot. You're right there's nothing quite like the sound of a older TZ motor at full chat. Thanks for your comment.

[@detomasopantera1966]

Just awesome...the sound omg!! Nothing like a 2str

[@j0llyroger889]

Fantastic to watch.

[@ariskonstantinidis3890]

Great race!

[@Jack-is9sm]

I had a TZ 350 on the streets. The log book said it was a RD 250LC. Completely illegal obviously. It was geared more for the street. It took me a while to be able to pull off without stalling. I swapped it with a friend. What a mistake. I wish I had kept it, as he smashed it and wrote it off within a month.

[@TheMadVector]

incredible, what a joyride!

[@herobo123456]

The Spike hes a Legend

[@mad4tarmac]

great riding by you 3 nothing silly,Feel sorry for phil that looked a big highside

[@robbineney7113]

Belle bagarre !

[@matthewwhite4008]

Sweet music

[@MrOddsen]

What a performance - Poor guy who went down in the stressed situation - He was doing real fine -

[@MikeSpikeEdwards]

He had a mechanical issue, the rear shock reservoir detached and fell between the swing arm and the wheel.

[@MrOddsen]

@@MikeSpikeEdwards Too bad - he might use lock tite now then :) Thanks a lot for the good vids without go pro fish eye optical - Have tried a lot to blip the throttle when going down the gears - Cant get the hang of it - do you use one finger on the brake ? I end up almost crashing - You are a total pro on it

[@MikeSpikeEdwards]

You don't need to open the throttle much, only a small opening is enough. The timing of the clutch & throttle is the tough bit to get right to start with. However when you master it it will help enormously helping keep the bike stable under extreme braking.

[@MrOddsen]

@@MikeSpikeEdwards Thanks my man - I will try - but as you say - its tough ..

[@enochthewitness-2023]

what is the 0-100kph time for one of these? ive been telling people they can do like 3 or 3.5 sec. Is that accurate? And for top speed, am I right in saying they are capable of attaining 160mph or more? Seeing as 125cc GP can hit 139mph and 250cc GP can do 145+mph. Thanks

[@MikeSpikeEdwards]

No really sure about the 0-100kph but probably about right. Top speed is probably similar to the 250's its very dependant on the circuit, you do need a long straight to get one above 140mph. Somewhere like the TT whereyou keep it on full gas for a long time you may well get over 150mph.

[@enochthewitness-2023]

@@MikeSpikeEdwards thanks for the reply!

[@aeroflopper]

Did the gearing change from race 1? needed a smaller rear, that poor engine had so much more speed to give..

[@MrOddsen]

Its the same - take a look at 6th - its a perfect gearing for that tiny thing

[@erikdejong2091]

nice safe on 6.12 min

[@matiasdun6599]

14:12 What a highside :O

[@chrismoody1342]

Never exceeded 67 km/h.

[@jlsmario]

on the manometer shows the temperature and not the speed :)

[@DJManza_]

@@jlsmario no shit sherlock

[@robertojavierbuenabadperez4587]

ENGINE SATURATION WITH LOW POWER FROM 10500 RPM´S, RISK OF INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE WHEN REQUESTING HIGHER SPEED

[@MrOddsen]

It is in the ballpoint of piston meter traveling / sec

[@thomasrose6962]

an extra gear would have been nice

[@MrOddsen]

Every turn had the perfect gearing - and the 6th was perfect for that track - there is a limit on everything..
