View Full Version : Where are the webteam when you need them.....Right here!
Suppose they're like buses, you never see one for ages then a few arrive at once. Perhaps the web team are far too busy censoring, deleting threads / posts and moderating.
:p ;) :lol:
Only joking guys, you've got to have a sense of humour keeping this board going!! I appreciate all the time and effort you spend keeping the message board running. :)
Please change my user / screen name to RD.
The reason is my initials are RD and I'm an RD enthusiast and I've owned a couple of RD's since 1985.
I have been meaning to ask you change it for quite some time.
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Richard D.

Hi,
RD does not appear to be taken so I'll get on to it when I get chance.
Brings back happy memories of my RD200 but, lets not go there.

Erm - are you maybe thinking of a later bike Kev, mine was a 1976 model and it only had a kick start.
It didnt hold much interest for me once I started rebuilding a Norton Dominator but THAT really is another story.......

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your response.
RD200 eh... If I had an 'Air Cooled' RD I'd prefer the RD400, but I'm really an LC / YPVS fan, I'm a former member of the 'LC Club' I'll have you know. :smug:
Cheers mate,
Richard.
P.S. Note taken. I should have PM'd or e-mailed you first. Thanks again.

Thanks Pietro,
I've been meaning to change my user name for ages, just never got around to it. I think 'RD' is much better and not so anorak. :D
Take care mate, :)
Richard.
We like RDs! :D My first was a 200 and a current friend of my bro's has this lot:

Hi Kevin,
My cousin had a TZR250, white with red speed blocks if I recall correctly.
I always wanted an RD500 in Marlboro colours, :devil: sadly I've never bought one. :(
Am I correct in thinking the RD500 had a steel frame and the RZV500 had an alloy frame. :puzzled:

Frank I was thinking of the Coffin tank RD200 but judging by the size of the alternator case in the pics of a earlier 1976 RD200 I woulkd say it used the same electric start system http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100922
The LC I road earlier had just been sold by one of the members of the LC Club and it was another member of the LC club that let me have a go on it and a soon to be LC Club member and LC racer who picked up my TZR while dropping off yet another LC that had just been sold.
Water cooled two stroke Yams everywhere
Hmm me too thats a few years ago.....
Hi Ozz,
Thats spooky. :o What LC did you have ?
Think the 'LC Club' are based in Romford, Essex.

RD had a 250LC converted to a 350 with Stan Stephens tuned engine.
My bro had a 500 in Marlboro colours, I think RZ and RD both had alloy frames? Just RZ was Jap version?

Nice bike Kev, bet you'll have great fun on the TZR. :cool:
I think that is the French Cigarette company livery, 'Gaulluois' - Sorry about my awful French spelling.

When my first RD350LC YPVS became sick about 1988, I took it to Stan Stephens. They did an excellent job stripping it down, the more they took it apart the more problems they found. The crank needed welding or repairing and loads of other work was needed, pistons etc, it cost me £600 back then, bloody arm & leg!!
It felt like I was riding a different bike on my way home, it ought to for that kind of money. Stan Stephens.......... Very good, but not the cheapest place for repairs. :eek:

I had a RD500 LC for a couple of weeks in 1989. It definitely had a steel frame which was bent to buggery lol. The huge dent in the back of the tank where some poor guys balls had been should of give me a clue to look further.
When i sold the bike a guy came and took it for a test ride. He soon came back saying it was slower than his 350 and wouldn't be buying it. A plug change later and full health was restored. The guy returned and in no way beleived me that it was now restored to its full glory.
To this day i can still here the sound of it crack off as it entered its power band as the guy wrenched the throttle. I think he shat himself! The silence as the wheelie landed and the look and colour on the guys face on his immediate return explained how the tank got dinted in the first place. He payed there and then but it was is brother who fetched it the following day. I think he wizzed himself laughing when i told him the true turn of events.
B40 HRA was the reg no. I wonder where it is now
