Well, its that time of the year when I find myself spending more and more time in the "Man Cave" - so last week I got my winter project.
Its a US import RD350, log book, keys, matching numbers, original paint, chrome (not surprisingly some is a bit dodgy and needs a refresh) - claimed genuine 5000 miles etc etc.
Real shame she got a couple of dinks in shipping: but really pleased with her.
Changed fluids, new plugs, new battery, filter etc - Started second kick and amazingly went straight through her MOT with no advisories - really not sure how it managed that
Couple of Pics taken before strip-down, cleaning and polishing starts.
Cant believe its all going so smoothly - no doubt some nightmares to come.
Cheers Tim

Lovely bike - had one back in the day and its predecessor - YR5 . Word of caution, please just be careful, going around corners.

Mate also had one back in the day and even then it had an almost H1/2 style rep as a Widowmaker, Although I rode it a few times and it really didn't feel that bad - Or at least no worse than much of the other stuff around at the time.
I wonder how many Riders binned their Blades and R1's at the height of the Race-rep craze?, yet it was always blamed on the fat Born-again biker, no one ever seemed to refer to these bikes as 'Widowmakers'.

May also have been the quality of the tyres ?
