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.

Take care mate,
Richard.

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

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?

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.
