I know there is a "Let's see your Rides" thread around here somewhere, but damned if I could find it. Anyhow tomorrow early I'll be headed down south to Cahuilla Raceway to race the CZ. I ran the first District 37 Grand Prix in Taft back in February and place second after not having raced in nearly 2 years. Tomorrow is an MX race and if all goes well I will be running again in 29 Palms in a couple weeks at another Grand Prix.
I have owned this same CZ since 1976, it was my first real dirt bike. Last year I bought a 380cc motor from Marty Tripes after I blew the crank seals in the original 250. If you have ever seen me, you understand why a bigger motor would be helpful LOL. Anyway, I figured things could use a little fresh air in here tonight, so enjoy looking at a piece of motocross history, they don't make 'em like this anymore. For you youngin's CZ was the first of the lightweight two strokes to break the historical dominance of big 4 strokes back in the 60's. Roger DeCoster won his first couple World Championships on CZ's, then Suzuki lured him away with big money. 4 inches of travel in the back and maybe 6ish in the front! Now I'm running 5.5 and 7.5 but I have plans for some Bultaco forks and a date with a welder that will have me at about 8.5 inches at both ends. Dry clutch and a 4 speed tranny keeps things interesting.
Some big ass beef ribs just came off the BBQ so I'm out. Have a good evening Gents.
