Hansen Dam 2000 2-Stroke Extravaganza

Hosted by Moto Carrera & ACTSO June 25, 2000

 

The 3rd annual 2-stroke extravaganza at Hansen Dam was a huge success. With over 100 great old 2-strokes ranging from a couple of trick Labrettas to an exotic street/GP TZ250, a full barbeque & lots of bench racing from some of the world's biggest 2-stroke lovers, it was 2-stroke heaven. A bike show with six categories was held at about the time it became too hot to hang - it was well over 100 with a bright sun. Fortunately plenty of shade trees in the parking lot made it bearable. Next year we'll hold the event a little earlier in June for a shot at milder weather.

The white bike to the left is the world's fastest RD at 159.115 mph. It is the world's fastest unfaired gas powered 500cc motorcycle & its only a 410! The famous Ed Erlenbach /TSR Software powered RD400 is always a hit.

This radical, highly modified Lambretta attracted a lot of attention. Check out that paint job. His buddy had one just as trick.

RDs, RZs, TZs, Daytona Specials. The Yamaha marque was well represented!

Hiram Piscatel's near new '78 RD400. Very sweet.

Mchael Derderian's pride & joy. Quite possibly the most exotic street legal 250GP bike. This beautiful TZ250 with a Biganski pro spec motor has been recently seen in magazines worldwide. It produces 75-80 rear wheel horsepower & weighs in at around 230 lbs. Will be featured in our next issue.

Jim Fleming of Bakersfield, CA is the proud owner of this beautifully modified Daytona Special. One of the prettiest Dayttonas you'll find. Check out those Moto Carrera Millennium GP pipes!

A beautiful, highly polished RD350LC. Bright green & highly modified, it really stood out. Stunning!
