Between my friend and I we've had six between us. I'm down to one bike, and three engines, plus one NOS set of Canadian 4Y3 cases. I believe my buddy has one. We sold the other bikes.

Currently restoring an '81 elsie in New Mexico, rebuilding the motor now. Chassis is going down to nuts and bolts, powder, and paint.

I sold parts to a guy in the US a few years ago. After I had picked the frame clean and ebayed a bunch I recall shipping him the frame as well. (or maube just the sub-frame) I also sold an 81 LC to a guy who had it shipped from Canada to California I think.

When I was stationed at RAF Bentwaters I purchased a Ian Dison Fairing RD350LC 1981 and shipped to California for my step son. A week later I took leave and returned to California to reassemble the bike ( I mailed it). He already had one so I sold it to a kid from the Loa Angeles area. Maybe it will show up one of these days.
