RD350LC race bikes. Who's got them?

[RDjase]

Hi all, i race in pre82 junior and was wondering were all the pre 82 bikes are (all types ,not just LCs) ,there seems to be heaps of pre 89 around , so whats happened to all the older bikes, Sitting in sheds needing fresh fuel and some enthusism? it would be great to have more than 5 or 6 in post classic(pre82), The more numbers we can get on the track at club events the more chance of a seperate Pre82 race instead on racing with the Pre89, its much more fun mixing it up with older bikes on 18" wheels than with VFRS , ZXRs
and the like with sticky rubber and alloy frames
See you at VMCC round 2 with you Pre82s :bleh:

I have a rd350LC, up till recently there was no hope of p89 down south so we have always had pretty good p82 (mixed with p72)

I dont really understand your comment re 18" wheels, as P82 wheels and tyres are open. My LC has 17" rims withs RS125 slicks, goes great !!

[Kickaha]

it would be great to have more than 5 or 6 in post classic(pre82),

On a good day there would be that many RD350LC racing down here + everything else

Cool, They do exist then, re the 18 wheels, i just think pre 82 should race on 18" wheels to keep them period, i also have a 87 tzr250 and spares and i did think about using those wheels and slicks from 125GP, It would slow the big dollar Senior bikes with with GIXER wheels down heaps running on 18" with less tyre choice , and make them more of a hand full :eek:lol, isnt that why we race old bikes

[dangerous]

re the 18" wheels, i just think pre 82 should race on 18" wheels to keep them period, I agree as they were raced in that period... BUT we wont go there will we guys :2guns: (can a worms and all that)

You seen my bike Jase, gave ya a good run for ya money to aye... but I think I saw more of your bike :shifty:

Heres a pic of Yowlings 2, mine, tuono's and Rashika's 250
There are more that come out on CAMs days like this comming w/e which is also having a 2 strokers class only.

[gav]

But in that period they were raced on 17's unless it was proddy racing.
Heard of Astrolites, Dymags etc?

ah post classics, might have to get me one

[RDjase]

hope all is well with gwenda and 99, my lc has done a bit of gardening in the past lol, i have a gear box full of nuetrals and grindy bits at the mo, leaky crank seal ans sucked the gear box dry, i think they like having oil in them, are the dashes 99 and the other lc mounted on the top of the triple clamp bracket or underneath as factory, they just look quite high above the bars compared to my road bike, my rad bike was like that for ages till i saw a original one and moved them down, looked much better
Where were those pics from?

[Buddha#81]

Where were those pics from?

Most of them are from Ruapuna. Post Classic are what we ride when we are waiting for the next bucket race. Before Dangerous seems like hes a RD riding god.....think again, he slow as fook!

My GSX400F is on 17's for the free rubber and it does help handling slightly:shifty:

[RDjase]

RD riding god , i like that ;-) , ive got Pirreli Sport Demons on my LC, seem to work well , and great in the wet, It sounds like you guys have fun down there, im planing on getting a few guys to head south to the Greymouth street race , Whos raced there? We (PMCC) have just got the use of the Roys Hill Kart Track(in Hastings) and are having fun F4/5 meetings on a great track, even had motards there last meeting(15 of) and the kart guys think it great ,

[dangerous]

are the dashes 99 and the other lc mounted on the top of the triple clamp bracket or underneath as factory,
99 is/was as in those pics standard... but due to being wiped out I have now mounted it like #68... straight out from the 2 small 6mm threads under the trip clamp.



RD riding god , i like that ;-) Ohh dont listen to that prick (nice prick) I aint no farking god, I just like old poo'ie strokers, besides a LC god would have beter control than this...

[RDjase]

Haha ,did you have your 18" knobbles on there mate

[Yow Ling]

Heres one of Bren scrubbing in my new slick

[RDjase]

cool pics, nice lean on the LC yow ling ;-) I read the article about Elise and the T20 recenty, nice looking bike and sounds like she has a great future in racing, ( i have a Race T20 in the shed too )
Whos going to Greymouth? Be good to race with you guys and girls,

[Yow Ling]

Everyone goes to greymouth !!

Im a bit bitter cos I didnt make it last year for reasons of stupidity

It is well worth the trip, If you have a bucket enter it too

[dangerous]

I read the article about Elise and the T20 recenty, nice looking bike and sounds like she has a great future in racing Yeah but for the last 2 months shes been wheel chair bound, I put her in the ambo at the kink with a well rooted lower leg.. 45kg is a piece a piss to lift. (was on her KR150)
Got a tell you tho, when racing with her and she has passed me at Levels on that bike you forget shes a 14yr old kid, it sunk in when I helped her that day near to tears (farking brave girl playing a mans game) as she squezed the hell out of my hand waiting for the ambo... great respect to her and the young kicking us old farkers arses.

As Ling says... its awesome man, cant explain it as it is a 'west coast' thing.

[Rashika]

I'm a bit bitter cos I didn't make it last year for reasons of pregnancy...

(kidding about the suffer... he's a great kid! :Punk:)

All this talk of LC,s just got me all nostalgic.:niceone:
Back in the early 80,s i used to be a marshall at Snetterton race circuit in norfolk UK.
the "proddy racin 250 class & 350 class......... just as the YPVS models were out. was some of the best racin i have ever seen:eek:
Used to keep us marshalls busy picking up the carnage of 40 'budding world champs' trying to squeeze thru turns 1 & 2.:chase:
Remember a guy called Gerry Marshall used to take great pleasure in nudging the shoulder of the guys he was passing.:eek:
Oh dont get me started................... trans-atlantic challenge...... norton rotary.....z1,s oh the good ole days:niceone:

Niall Mackenzie , Alan Carter , Kenny Irons , and Ray Swann , all having mad battles on bikes they dont own, let alone know what there riding till they draw a key out of a helmet sitting on the Wrangler bike, SO COOL !!!
So are you going to find a LC and come racing? There are 3 more being built it Hawkes Bay at the mo, im sure you NEED one :eek:

[roogazza]

Yes, every year, great times.
Funny, I was in Napier just yesterday at 5 Star Suzuki, which is close to the old Onekawa Track. I had a drive round, its full on industrial now.
Always enjoyed Onekawa, in spite of seeing the hospital a couple of times ! Gaz.

RD riding god , i like that ;-) ,I was down South this weekend and got to the track to watch the racing.

Pre 82 in the South Island is a gem, with some great riders around. You should try and have a look.

Talking about riding gods? He may not be on an RD, but #57 was looking good out there. I like someone who can raise their game when they are challenged.

Ya shoulda said you were there and droped into the KB pit and dun a intro, I was on the blue RD took a 3rd in PC82 and in race 2 started from the back for a play. Wasent you that walked through our pit before racing (pit on the concrete with bikes and cages suporting KB stickers)

PS: diesel never takes it easy, hence why hes always at the sharp end.

[Shaun S]

Wasent you that walked through our pit before racing (pit on the concrete with bikes and cages suporting KB stickers)Could have been, I had a good look through the pits and enjoyed seeing some of the bikes that were there.

I did not talk with anyone really, but did try and locate Joanne (I think she is Joni on this site), as we have a mutual friend, but did not manage to find her.

If #57 was taking it easy, then even more repsect goes out to him. Would love to see him at full noise.

Im back up north again, love your city, but too cold for me. :niceone:

I just got my entry form to the 09 TRRS , sounds like its even going to be better than last year, I hope to have 2 bikes there this year , My 87 TZR250 can get a trashing in F3, Who else is going?
