There's nothing like the smell of premix in the morning...
Well in my case premix with Avgas ;-)
My brother has an RZ with a TL100 front end, FZR rear, and TZ bodywork.
My other brother races a TZ 125, and 250.
I have no less than 11 two strokes in my garage, including chainsaw,
weedwacker,
leafblower and bikes.
Long live the two strokes!
