Good advice! seem to remember Billie Guthrie sure it was him. telling me about the first TZ500 to arrive in the U.K that he bought that wrecked gearboxes every time out. He was screaming about sueing Mitsui.

I bought one of the very first Bultaco TSS 250s what a disaster that was, remember struggling home over the mountain lying last on the roads with a gearbox full of broken teeth and I found out later a broken frame. Had travelling marshall Des evans cruising alongside me as my personal escort and finishing last but two.
