Would love to but I cant make it this time because I'm away doing South Downs 100 mile mountain bike thing this weekend and then next weekend I've got to get my RD500 ready for Classic Bike track day on the 12th. I'll be watching out for the next meet though no worries.

Oh yeah sorry...no it is an original z1100r Lawson rep. Still running after 60,000 miles but I've took it off my insurance at the moment to put the Thunderace on. Erm have been advised to remove the sig but its on my web pages along with the 2-strokes if your interested.

Hell Gareth...how many bikes you got/had. ??????

By the looks of things and the amounts/dates, it looks like your trying for top spot with Rutz and Neo

good site you got there, love the old brit stuff

I've got a few.... $:\$ Fifteen at the moment, 7 of them are RD500's though.
My all time favouite fun bike is my 1987 Yamaha RD350 YPVS F2..awesome little bike - with bit of fettling, its taking a bit of a back seat at the moment though.
