Back in the day I had a 350lc with microns a Yam paddock jacket, Simpson bandit and Frank Thomas paddock boots. Those were happy days! My nc30 with a full race system sounds pretty good too tho. |

I’ve got a Rd350ypvs hybrid with Suzuki rgv250 vj22 front and rear ends on and a few other modifications 
Also got a Honda Cr85R with 12 inch supermoto wheels on ??. Massive fun on the out door go cart tracks. But it will be going up for sale soon |

"The bike I regret most selling, my RD250DX. Seen a few last week at Classic TT, I had a sad face looking at them  "
Loads of RD’s in your neck of the woods. There’s even the NERDOC ( north east r d owners club) they have a rally every year in Bishop Auckland |

"I've got an RGV and KR1S in boxes.
Myself and two sons also have CR two smokers.
I personally love them however the road bikes are bit harder to fettle.
"
think you better get them built back up they worth loads now. We got a rgv250 vj22 for track use. Sons say not allowed to sell it |

"My old bike was an aprilia rs 125 2 stroke ..not the classic that's been mentioned above but a hell of a lot of fun "
These are becoming sought after now as well as the original RS50.
Unfortunately there are hundreds of abused examples out there.
I missed the chance on a Cagiva Mito 125 a couple of years ago.
The fairings were not great but the bike was looked after.
I wanted it as an ornament for the living room  |

To be fair I think it was how well you looked after it. I've had a 996R from new and use as much as I can. Never let me down.
Best bike ever in my opinion was my Honda MT 50. Had it when I was 16 when I first started working.
It went out all year including in the snow. It got passed down to my two brothers when I learned to drive.
They are now sitting about £1800 for a tidy example.
Mine was bought used for £400 lol |

I've got a VJ22 as well. Haven't ridden it for a couple of years though. It's become an antique. Bimbling about on an old Honda CD250u now. Much less exciting! |

My first road bike was a new 250LC on L Plates, then 350, various Power valves (Except the Brazilian made pos) Then went to 4t's for years but got a Rothmans NS400R later & until I destroyed one of my knees in a road crash I had an RGV250 vj22 for track days.
Love 2T's
