Fantastic machine, you must be pretty gutsy to ride such a thing without brakes on a dirt oval :)

Great pictures, thank you Crash! :)

Is it me or did he not mention his own son who won a World Championship? Shows Snrs skill to just jump back on it and chuck it round like that though.

Kenny confirms nicely to the "the older I get, the faster I used to be" ethos.

Except that in his case, it's actually true!

Sad that he gets somewhat overlooked in any serious G.O.A.T debate as he's a genuine contender for the acolade. Probably just a bit old for some of the modern followers to appreciate just how good he was.

Long live the King!

Thanks for the video!

This is what Julian Ryder had to say about the TZ

"what would be the equivalent of that monster today? Maybe getting the old Team KR V5 990 MotoGP motor and slotting that in in place of the TZ? But even that could never have the visceral impact of that yellow and black thing. I have never seen a scarier motorcycle."

A truly insane motorcycle. He had real balls to race that back in the day.
