Author Message   Slaughter Posted on Sunday, January 06, 2013 - 11:23 pm:        Very cool 25 minutes of Kawasaki promo film of their records being set at Daytona Speedway in 1973 Historical names and groundbreaking bike (Z1) - back when nearly 90 HP was considered a LOT of power:   Daschunk Posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - 02:17 pm:        Look at those chops @ 13:20!   Firstbuell Posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - 02:25 pm:        great clip - thx !   Daschunk Posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - 02:32 pm:        I wonder if it's the Same Hurley Wilvert that's now racing in Albuquerque? I will have to ask him. Cool video.   Xb1125r Posted on Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - 03:47 pm:        wow we have come a long way   Slaughter Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2013 - 12:51 am:        Yes it certainly IS the one and the same Hurley Wilvert! He's instrumental in historic motorcycle racing and in lobbying for off-road rights in NM. I've known him since he raced our TZ750 after Team Hansen (Kawi USA) stopped the 750 after the H2R and KR750. Hurley never had the chance to run the KR. He DID qualify first in Daytona until Ago put the TZ750 on the pole in its first year of racing. Hurley's A bike seized in practice and they had to run the B bike. He said that was his last big shot - in a couple years, the TZs took over and a couple more, 2 strokes were done and Hurley and Steve McLaughlin went to AMA to lobby for Superbike (and if you remember, the first SBK championship was won by Pridmore on the BMW)   Daschunk Posted on Thursday, January 10, 2013 - 01:01 am:        Wow, small world huh? I will ask him about this now. This video in particular was interesting. "He's instrumental in historic motorcycle racing..." Very accurate statement. Hellva nice guy too. Thanks for the info Slaughter.
