Hi all this is my first post . I was recommended to this site by a friend I currently have an Rd400e And would really like a nice Yamaha Rd350lc to go with it . I might not be the sharpest tool in the box but I can’t get my head round the ten post rule . To see the classified ads do I have to post 10 chats or read 10 chats many thanks for your help in anticipation Pete

Hi and welcome. Just 10 random posts will get you there. Maybe read some of the builds and give an opinion 👍🏻

Yes, you need to make 10 posts
Just to stop the traders who can't be bothered to spend enough time on the site without hoovering things up or selling
Welcome in

Welcome. We try to encourage a bit of interaction and support and not just a buy/sell forum. If you want the latter then eBay or FB maybe better suited but if you want banter and help them posting 10 posts is relatively easy as loads to comment on as you browse around. Hope you stick around and enjoy.

Welcome This is a busy forum, which is unusual as most have migrated to Facebook, so there is always something to read and get involved in. As said, pop over to the build section, and post some comments on the builds, soon get to the 10 post mark, and then the classified section will appear for you.

Hmm, rather than 10 boring 'Love this' or 'Nice build' posts, why not tell us about you and your history with bikes, especially RDs and also about your 400 build and the plans for your LC which you could start a thread for and lets see the project unfold... Of course, I also welcome you in mate. Come and join the community. start a conversation and let us help you where we can. Lots of good info to be found by searching and reading and generous help when you cant find an answer to a problem not covered before.

Hi all this is my first post . I was recommended to this site by a friend I currently have an Rd400e And would really like a nice Yamaha Rd350lc to go with it . I might not be the sharpest tool in the box but I can’t get my head round the ten post rule . To see the classified ads do I have to post 10 chats or read 10 chats many thanks for your help in anticipation Pete Pete, welcome! the thing is , this is a LC forum with a buy and sell section. Not a bike sell/buy site with ‘messaging’. might sound a bit antiquated but we treasure this place, generally free of BS, idiots, ‘what’s it worth’ . Just a place where if you are into your LCs then there’s years of advice from people who have actually done stuff, not ‘heard it from a bloke who read in a book’... So since it’s a ‘community’ , you need to join the community to benefit from it. So a little introduction about you and your bikes, what you are looking for, what you understand about current situation, what you’d like to find out. hope that helps, you will find it rewarding once you get into the spirit of things ....

I've been on forums (ccm) where the target was many times that, ten is a low count which can take minutes to complete. There are folks on here with multiple thousands of posts, once you get involved, they soon build up.

And maybe it deters those who only want to buy something, or sell something (sans ebay fees)... Its more of a community of old farts who love the LC. (And look after each other regarding parts and info) But hay ho... no one is forced to join... ) But I wont be helping anyone out with parts for the same fee as what I paid for them on ebay, as in profiteering. I would sooner give something away to someone on here than make ££.

Hello everyone, I would like to reiterate the comments from Steveh. There is a 'spirit' about the way each member tries to help each other.I have experienced that 'Spirit' and it's actually quite a rare experience in the modern world.I have only joined in the summer of 2020. I too wondered about the '10' posts. I soon found That the '10' posts were way behind me in no time. If you are here for advice, support and guidance with this iconic range of bikes, you have reached the 'Promised land'!. In a funny 'twist of fate' this post that I am writing adds to my contribution to the forum. This is now nearly 100 posts. So you see, it's not about 'post numerics' it's about involvement which has a backbone of Trust and dignity. There now, I have said it ! Take care everyone, Terry in Dublin.

Welcome to the forum Pete. I think there are probably a few in the same position, looking for an RD. I am one but not in any rush and in the current situation, it is perhaps the best policy. Simply having a look in on here now and then helps with knowledge of the range,it has me at least.

My 2 pennies as a newbie:
I posted a few comments and questions and easily topped it up with a couple of (rubbish) jokes.
I like the style, format and general vibe of this forum, it just feels a friendly sort of place with friendly people who share a common interest
The forum has been an absolute god-send for me, I've had some great advice, bought a few bits and bobs, got some recommends for specialist services and being stuck working in my little white office box its given me a bit of a smile / diversion from the daily grind
