Looks good Ken, you've got a nice little museum of classics there. How about some full pictures of each of the bikes you've got.

I want to ride that beautiful RD350LC. Been a RD fan since I was in highschool. Great handling and pure fun. Still own a couple of air cooled 1973 RD 350's. When they first came out they weren't sold in this country and I seriously considered buying one in Canada and sneaking it across the border. Dave

WOW...I'm happy for you Ken, those are awesome bikes. That Dream brings back memories as I spent a lot of time on my brothers Dream 305. I'd love to ride everyone you got

Nice shed full Ken,, :good2: Read recently, think it was Motor Cycle Trader, first year R1's are becoming collectible, but guess you new that... :i_am_so_happy:  Nice bike/bikes...

Cheers Timbo.
Life's been good to me so far....

thanks again fellas, 1stly ray, if you want to take it out for a blat you have till half way thou March to do it legally at least and yes I'm serious, if you want to give it a go...
i just changed the oil and filter and tomorrow hopefully i wont kill myself on it. lol

hey bones your spot on about keeping them all shiny, its hard enough just  to keep all the batts charged and the tyres inflated..

bsi , glad the dream brings back memories,  my little 250 runs well but is just to slow today apart from running up to the bakery on a Sunday morning...

terxasdave, cant blame you for wanting to import an elcy,  if you've never ridden one before and its in good nick , its something  you'll remember
for the rest of you live if you get it on the pipe, ,, you would know that though having had some air cooled ones,,, theres a bit of difference , but its not enormous.

Yep Ken, that is definitely one very cool looking bike. If you ever have a Ken Manshed drag race, I bags the R1. It really is a beautiful looking bike. Can you even remember what bike you got rid of to get it?
I always liked the ridiculousness of a bike that does 100mph in first gear.

I'm sure in time you will having it looking like it just rolled out the showroom door.

Dynamite collection. Love the LC, one of my favorite rides. Bought one in Canada and brought back to US in early 80's to race in WERA series of Endurance Races. Yours looks mint...can you give a little history, mileage etc. BTW, the guy I bought my '85 FJ from this past Fall had a 305 Dream sitting in his field of outcasts surrounding his home, not to mention the 50, not a typo... FIFTY Datsun 2000's. He'll do trades for just about anything interesting.

Fifty Datsun 2000? The guys sitting on a gold mine. They're starting to be quite collectable. I believe Jay Leno even owns one.  Dave

gday noel,  needs some tidying up but not a lot, i reckon to get it how i want it will be about a grand, all cosmetic,

rd56,  i got the rd about 5 years ago as a father /son resto, it was in a sorry state, been out in the weather for 18 months, i ended up doing a full nut and bolt on it,
cost a small fortune.  it had 1.5mm o/s pistons in it and i had to bore it out to 2mm ,about the limit. lets just say the rebore was a bit sloppy and it lasted 350km's, anyway ive tracked down another set of barrels but havent put it back together yet. no idea on milage ,but it had a hard life i'd say..
