This is my roots.
I started road motorcycling in 1975. I picked up this brochure at Eau Claire Yamaha from "Rupe" Ruppelt.
.....finally got it scanned.....

Within a week I had a new shiny RD 350. Rupe wheeled the bike out of his back onto a gravel parking area, Told me to go down and come back. I did. He said you are good to go. In this showroom they had a TZ700 twin shock sans bodywork. I never took a pic of it but Cory Ruppelt rode it. I have been a Yamaha rider since.I still have this old machine. And thanks to the help of many it still runs better than ever. Thanks to Wicked.
