Hi everyone, my first posting and here's my story... About ten years ago I bought a RD350LCII. It was on the road, tidyish example but when I got it home I discovered it was a dog. Everything was wrong with it, the frame had been welded in a number of places, the engine needed a full overhaul the suspension was shot but eventually I got it to look like this. Then six months later after running it in I had a moment of madness......I Sold it So after that terrible day I've got over it now, dusted myself down and decided I want another project but for keeps this time. so I've been looking on ebay, the papers, biketrader but as yet I havn't found anything but I will. I must try harder Attachments:

Looks like when you get one,you'll have no trouble getting it to look great again if the old one is anything to go by.

Thanks for your comments. I think I've got the disease. I feel like I've got two stroke oil pumping in my veins and the only cure is to get one and start all over again. I found the picture of my old RD in the depths of an external hard drive hidden from sight. When I opened the folder and saw the bike well I've just got to get another one..... My bike at the moment is a Fireblade and although it does have the grin ;D factor, there seems to be something missing.....Perhaps it's a blue haze in the mirror or just the chase to get the spares you need to keep the RD singing....... I know you lot on this forum undoubtedly know what I'm talking about. Watch this space.........
