1981 RD350LC time capsule.
I`ve been chasing this bike for 24 years, the hunt is over.
This LC never sold back in 81 so the owner kept it in his local shop
riding it occasionally but consistently.
The last time I saw it at Empey Yamaha in Madoc Ontario the bike had 600km on it, that was 1999.
Long story short I told a friend of mine about the bike and he convinced the owner to sell it in 2000.
A asked my friend to sell it to me if/when the time came, I got the phone call last fall.
It now has 2887km and looks as good as it did over two decades ago.
Thanks to my friend for keeping his word and taking great care of the bike all this time.

Thanks and you know your welcome to ride any of my bikes, its the least I can do after riding some of yours.
I still feel bad about dragging your 1990 RZ through several construction sites including fresh tar, lol.
And I`ve never ridden through a town that sounded like a part of the female anatomy..... Oh Plevna.

Nice to find one that hasn't been abused. Take lots of detail pictures, as I'm sure there's a few members who would love to see closeups of proper cable routing etc...
