Why is this recycled Piano darkening our temple to the glorious lord Zed?, please remove this abomination from our sight and take it forthwith to a place of scrappage where it may be smashed to a 1000 pieces and cast to the four winds.....

Wouldn't mind a Mars bar though!. :wink:

Wash thy mouth out with carbolic soap good sir, one of these Ex-Bontempi Organs has't never darken'd my garage, however......

On the 1.8.78 I took delivery of a brand new RD250DX which turned into easily the worst piece of tin it has ever been my misfortune to own in 35 years of riding.... :splat

Nice one, I miss my LC but don't have to go too far to get a LC fix as my brother has it. He currently has one fully built near standard, a 75% built special with RGV running gear and with a seriously modded Power valve style engine with many trick parts from the States, and a project for a 100% stock LC.

They RD's - LC's are still popular little jiggers. One of the Z Owners from down here took his '74 out for a ride to the last show we went to.....
and came away with the silverware!
I think he was glad he left the Z at home. :lol:

Returned to work in London today and my brother is back home from working in China at the moment and he showed me his Banshee style parts to fit in a YPVS bottom end, 68mm Athena barrels with 4mm stroker crank giving 421cc head with removable domes, billet intake manifold from wicked motorsport is a work of art, Wiseco pistons and billet clutch basket looks trick, 34mm Keihin power jet carbs looking at around 80 bhp when built.
