i remember years ago i heard this bike howling towards me from quite a distance...sounded great,two stroke,made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up...looking round to see it,it turned out to be a really ropey looking 380 with spannies on...dont see them about much any more...anyone remember the gt500 twin?... ...bet you've got one of them tucked away somewhere scott.. ;D ;D ;D
