All

Thanks for listing my uncle twice! Gerrit was a great racer.

Kleineman, your Uncle (always remember him as "The Dentist") was great. Had the privilege of watching win at Carlsbad the two years I attended in 75 and 76. Wished I had been there in 74 when he had that epic battle with Mikkola.

Thanks for the pictures! The shifter linkage is interesting. I don't know a lot about CZs to know why that set up is used on that bike : be it a product of peg changes / relocation, Big Feet / whatever of previous user. But, I've done many linkage set ups on hybrid builds over the years - 4t engines in 2t chassis, and vice versa. Often, the lever shaft location on an engine, just won't work well with the donor chassis. Quite often on builds, I've done linkages from the shaft, to a lever using the swingarm pivot bolt...

I have rebuilt 72&73 CZ250's and never seen or imagined your shifter linkage (20-30 years ago). I do remember that you had to move your foot a lot more to shift. Long throw. Thanks for the pics. I have a friend that still has his 72 and looking for a snake pipe. His pipe has been crushed/repaired and needs replaced.

Snake Pipe! If you please, could you put up more pictures of this bike. Other side as well. THOR swingarm, or KLP / other replica? The shocks - on the tip of my tongue, Noleen? I think RT G3 and MXTech guesses are probably wrong.

Yes he was, and Thank you for responding to this post I used to sale T-Shirts for him back in the 70's TWR shirts lol. Used to watch him and a very close friend of mine Phil Reed and Danny Wirt go hard at it GOOD STUFF miss them days.
