Turn back time shot
I found the pic below and uploaded it, my RD350LC, bought new in 1981 for 995 UK pounds and immediately modified with as many parts as I could lay my hands on.. Pro-Am fairing, All speed pipes, drilled rotors etc etc. I was 18 at the time so please excuse my "squidness" with little protective gear! (although I am sporting a period correct UFO tour T-shirt!)
So, come on guys, lets see your "TBT" pics!

Re: Turn back time shot
Superb pic! This is the sort of image I have in my head when I think of the UK version of On Any Sunday in the early 80s :)

I was in the West Yorkshire area, lots of hooligan activities back in the day! Moved to the States in 97 but go back as often as possible for a pint and a curry!

Re: Turn back time shot
Loved UFO back in the day. Most in North America have no idea who they are. Not many here listened to Ian Gillan either.
I had an '81 as well, in '82. I was 19 then. I will see if I can upload a pic. Another "squid" shot.

Re: Turn back time shot
LOL, no I mean if there was one and it was set in the early 80s, that is what I always think it would have been like. :)expat wrote:LOL John. Don't recall a UK version??JonW wrote:Superb pic!

Re: Turn back time shot
You still have the same bike? I wish I still had mine, I am trying to find the plate number and will check on the database in the UK to see if it is still registered.... Now that would be a challenge to try and get it back if it still exists!!

Foot is not covering the rear brake, very brave
Oh this brings back old memories.....

Re: Turn back time shot
15 years ago, post surgery aboard the RG500MK5. Note the 8 pins protruding from my left arm (awarded to me 3 weeks earlier by a 19 year old squid at Loudon in a 4 hour endurance race aboard the Aprilia). The strangest piece of riding gear I ever wore!!!
