I hope I'm not greeted with the theme song to "Branded" the next time I drop into Reeky, followed by my newsreader being broken. What can I say? I live in an ice cave and spend all day clubbing seals. It's not easy, what with the ice flows melting away. Yeah, I'd never heard of an RD before this thread (or lost the memory), but the posts read like it was a 2-cycle so I googled for a photo. A Kawasaki H1 I know. An RD? Nope. Robert

True, the RD series went out of production in the early-1990s and hadn't been imported into the US for more thandecade before that, but I'm still amazed that people haven't *heard* of them. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!
