VOL. 54 ISSUE 46 NOVEMBER 21, 2017 P61 Isn't she a beauty?! We were positively bowled over when we first laid eyes on the SCR Super Hooligan racer. W hen I lay in the middle of the Costa Mesa Speedway track after highsiding myself to the moon and back a few weeks ago, one of the first thoughts going through my head was "I needed to get my own bike." Smashing up Roland Sands' Super Hooligan Indian Scout was not in the cards, but thankfully, the damage was more to my pride than anything. Still, the thought of getting a Cycle News-specific racer wouldn't go away, so I made a call to Marcus DeMichelle, Yamaha USA's press manager and a thor- oughbred racer himself—so he gets it. Not only was Marcus in for the idea of building a Yamaha SCR950 Hooligan racer, he had the perfect man for the job in Jeff Palhegi, one of Southern California's leading craftsmen for Yamaha customs and a man who has more than a slight obsession with the TZ750—a man of my own heart. BUG HAS BITTEN. HARD. SO MUCH SO THAT WE YAMAHA TO BUILD ONE OF OUR OWN! BY RENNIE SCAYSBROOK PHOTOGRAPHY BY SAM BENDALL, RS
