There are a few of us around that started in the '60's and '70's. '76 for me. A good few of us still have a classic (or 2) both from the 2 stroke and 4 stroke camps. I still have a couple of RD400's and a project YA-6 from 1965 amongst my current collection. I also have a Suzuki TS 250 and a FZ8n. Great pictures and there is a thread on here somewhere where people have listed their bikes over the years. It makes a good read.

There are loads of 2 stroke lovers here. A growing number of us go to the 2 stroke meet at squires in Yorkshire for the forums, unofficial, annual meet. Quite a few of us are also members of the aircooledrdclub forum amongst others. If you look in the ride out section there will be many posts and threads for the annual events. Probably easier to search for "squires" just don't mention t shirts!

As for a kidney for a RD, I did sell a project one late last year but a single kidney is never going to fill me up so you need to throw a bag of chips in at least.

Ha ha. It is a close call. Don't need the wife though, I already have a great lady. Now if you had swapped the wife for a couple of buttered slices, we could be close to a deal.
