fifer Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hi , My name is Mike Fifer . I am 55 years old and could not afford an RD when I was young. I have riden on and off for about 40 years now. I (in my youth days ) raced a Yamaha 125 MX , 250 MX , flat tracked the 250 and a BSA 500 Victor and ended with a S3 Kawasaki and a H1 Kawasaki Dragster. I now ride a Suzuki C50 to work (50 miles round trip) daily. I recently purchased a 1976 RD400. I have since done some work to it and this is the progress now. Thanks , Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to hearing some of your experience if you share it here. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Ah yes Brian , I could bore you to tears with all the mistakes and mishaps as well as the old school racing tricks and close calls. I used to race against a gentleman from Albuquerque by the name of Dave Compo. He used to hold the MC land speed record on the Easy Riders twin engine Harley Liner. I am also friends with a gentleman here in Las Cruces by the name of Bob Duffy, he happens to hold the world record for the fastest 1/4 mile riding the bike backwards. Oh what fun!!
