The history on the Murray
Hoffman bike:
Team Vesco 1974 TD2/Champion Flat Tracker
Rider: Murray Hoffman |
The motor started life in Don Vesco's bonneville streamliner.
In 1973 Don broke the world land speed record for the 250cc class
at 189.529 M.P.H. This record still stands today after 29 years.
1974 Don built the flat tracker for Murray
Hoffman to ride at Ascot Park . He placed 2nd in the Yamaha Gold
Cup Series in the novice class.
Later in years the bike was sold to a
person who rode it as a dirt bike. That didn't last long . Don
Vesco bought it back and it was in 4 boxes. (Thank God for boxes)
It was all there in pieces. I bought the boxes from Don and restored
it to Murray's days at Ascot. |
