What a Fantastic Meeting Last night !
Graham Smith’s TZ750 was the big drawer card last night and it did not disappoint, Here are some points I scribbled down from Graham’s detailed presentation of his machine.
* 1977
*145hp / 145kg
* Under 1000 TZ750 made, less than 150 of this year.
* Graham won Victorian Championships on this bike
* Mono full length of Broadford
* One similar came up for sale in UK recently listed at £70k
Thanks Graham for bringing your amazing bike along, You could tell by the cheer at the end of running it what the members thought.
The Lucky Member door prize was also drawn at random with Mathew Mee’s membership number being pulled. Unfortunately for Mathew he wasn’t present, So he missed out on the cash and seeing the TZ.
See You at the next meeting Tuesday 08/10.
