At an AVDRA event yesterday this guy was racing his restored CZ Twin-Piper. :)

Great to see it out there on the track.
-
When someone told me how much T-P's are going for I was amazed he had it out there. ;D

Back in the 90s Bob Vourmard from South Australia regularly raced his two twin pipers, a 250 and a mega rare 360 until their rarity and value got the better of him and he sold them to the USA. The twin piper is the Holy Grail for CZ fans, especially the '66 360.

That is extremely cool to get a bike of rarity out onto the track 8)
-
Diary Farmer /Wizard / Champion and totally good bloke John Boag won some Australian Classic Titles on one too I believe?? and it did not look one iota as bling as that one.... ;)
-
I love the USA, especially for their VMX and quality Cocaine... ;)
-
I'd just like to say that this is a drug free CZ forum ;)

APPARENTLY NOT ;D

At the Tanunda Nats back in 1995 Boagy had his twin pipe CZ 250 there and was pitted next to me. Although winning the first moto of the pre 65 250 class, the bike was running crook. He fiddled with it for quite a while and then asked me to give hime a push start (typically Boagy, it didn't have a kickstarter). We pushed the bloody thing up and down the pits with no result until a passer by noticed that the bike didn't have a spark plug! An embarrassed Boagy sprinted back to his pit, grabbed a plug and spanner, ran back and fitted the bloody thing. We then started pushing the bike again and I'll swear that there was no difference in feel to when it didn't have a plug in place when Boagy dropped the clutch this time. There was no compression at all. Miraculously the bike started and he asked me to ride it around while he got his helmet and gloves. I decided to give it a bit of a spurt along a piece of straight paddock behind the pits and couldn't believe how gutless and slow the bike was. It had absolutely no compression and the horsepower of a sick Jawa California. Boagy then took over and started moto 2 and by the first corner he was last or at best, second last. He then systematically wheeled every bike in one by one and won the moto, passing Bob Vourmards pristine and fast twin pipe CZ on the finish line. That ride finally convinced my just what a superb rider John Boag is. That bike was one of the worst puss heaps I'd ever ridden but he rode it like it was Joels factory bike. Boagy is indeed the perfect racer and rides every race as if it's a world championship final moto. The fact that he does it on absolute shit boxes only adds to the legend. Boagy is one of our sports true gems.

Watching John Boag working his magic on the twin-pipe at the Aussies Titles at Warwick in 2000 was one of the highlights for me. I don't remember who won that class that year but he sure was great to watch.
