Project Likely Fail Part VI

With the months flying by, Charlie’s TZR is edging ever closer to its race debut!
-

It’s now been six months since getting the go-ahead from Beej to take his prized (albeit unbuilt) TZR 250 from under the dust covers, plus a number of boxes stored around our workshop, and get it ready to race. Since that time I should really have started paying ground rent for Wayne Philips’ spare bench at Phoenix Yamaha in Trowbridge – the home of the build – as bit by bit parts have come in to get the old gal running once again.
It’s been a long road with a lot of things to be organised, purchased and (let’s face it…) blagged, but we are now just about there with the credit card abuse and just waiting for a couple of parts to come through to complete the build. Therefore I have turned my attention this month to the externals, the fairings that will cover all of the good work that our Wayne, now returned after an off, is doing with the engine build.
