Legend has it that when Robert & DeCoster were employed by CZ the factory issued them with the new "side piper" models...apparently it wasn't long before they wanted their twin ports back!. They were that good.
Siege, http://www.siegecraftnw.com/VDR.htm kindly allowed me to borrow this pic. This is so cool, a nicely restored example of a 250 twin port being raced in the here & now, not hidden away in a collectors vault.

Thanks Eno :) That's got to be on the top of the list next 8)

I was hovering around that TP and the Jawa all weekend, awesome bits of gear. Apparently Roger D chipped the TP saying there were a few things not correct on it ( ???) to which Russell said he had a better one at home :o . I only want one!
-
DONT WORRY BUD, IM ON IT
-
Please Paul Please, can you keep an eye open for me too.
Don't let my wife find out, I have already purchased 5 bikes since Christmas.
Gulp, where am I going to put them all?
-
I seached and hunted for 16 years to get my 66 250 , thank god for Dave Alsop bike finder extrordinare ! He spotted it in NZ think it was seen poking out of a bog in the second Lord of the Rings movie?
Anyway mine is almost all there just missing an ignition cover . Alloy airbox being made- found a tank on ebay uk and snapped it up only a week after getting the bike !
They are really a great bike to ride power is not much but so smooth the bike feels much better than a sidepipe and cog is so low you can corner much quicker as if on a rail .
I raced Boagys ratty 68 in sheparton in the 90s and finished third on a fast sandy track againt all the pre 75s Boagy won on his Ossa Drake was not that far ahead on a deadly quick Can Am ......
I think importing from os is the only way to nab one now . I also rode a 360 in the uk at a big meeting in 98 " it was good but not as easy to ride as the little 250 as its so short with a lot more torque ...still if one came up I wouldnt knock it back ..............
-
Tim....I remember having a putter on Boagys 250 twin piper at Tanunda back in 1995 and couldn't believe how rooted it was! No compression at all. Naturally he won the pre 65 250* class on it!
*I'm getting all misty remembering when there were enough starters to actually hold a 250 pre 65 class. Let's hope that over the next couple of years enough come out of the woodwork to revive the class.
-
Yes, remember how I towed him right along the driveway- about a kilometer before it would evan cough !It loaded up at any chance and when stripped down the ring was about 10thou thick !!!! Boagy complained as the bike had been fixed up in 1969 should have lasted a bit longer , he thought ? Remember him coming from way out last after it loaded up on the line , to win around the very last corner
CZs are tough especialy if they can take Boagys special restoration and maintainance shedules : ] cheers Tim

The motor, frame and swingarm are about 2-3 weeks away for us (dad and I). The yellow tanker dad has will be a donor for the TP. Dad will do the majority of the resto which is good as he will get right into it 'cause he is keen! So we have got our holy grail.
-
great news ;)
-
Another one out there ..great what bits do you need ?
-
Are you going to race your TP Tim? I'll have a pre 65 Maico hopefully up next year so we've got to get the pre 65 250 class back and in good condition again.
-
fIRKO WILL BE THRASHING THE **** OUT HER ASAP ! look forward to much more vmx :] Still a slow pommy git though !
-
Still a slow pommy git though !
Pommy git maybe but slow?...........I don't think so! ;D
-

Hi mate.About all i can think of at the moment is the correct kick starter. If you have a few spares and are wiling to share, that would be great.
We will have to get a steering stem made up for the shorter goose neck unless you can help there? Just received the correct tank from the US which i got considerably cheaper than recent tanks, which is a task in itself.
Cheers, Brad.

Sounds good Tim, all you need now is a frame ::)
-
GMC yes thats right do you know anyone who could sort my dodgey one out ???
Also for the other chap who needs stuff call me on 03 59 689 160 have one spareshort steering stem and a few other odds and sods .....cheers Tim

Hay Tim, I bought a Bultaco Sherpa S 200 4 Speed the other day,about two weeks ago, but chamge my mined, Freight was my worry. About 2 months ago, came across a cz 250 Twin port. but the USA Dollar was 65 CENT.
-
Hi Fellows, l help and find lots of bikes and parts for everybody, now l would like some help, twinport frame l would like to find just a frame. how close is a sidepipe frame to a twinport frame, what would be the differents.
-
Dave , thats many more than I thought were out there .. but I think Rod Mac and uncle Bernard have enough pre 65 250s between them to fill a gp grid !!!
Which bikes do you think will do the winning ? I would bet money on the Czech iron although a good Husky or 64 Challanger are just as quick but dont handle like the Zed ? Depends on who is twisting the throttle ....
