Timewarp

[twostroketit]

Today i did ride a 1985 Yamaha RD 350 YPVS that has been stored after the first owner died.
It has got 3700 miles on the clock and looks brand new.
The last time it was ridden was 1987, i am the first person to ride it since then. it was a two wheeled timewarp.
Unfortunatly it doesn't belong to me,but has just been bought by one of my friends and he aint selling.

That story does look underwhelming up on the screen,but believe me it is a ride i wont forget in a hurry.

I hope you wore vintage jeans, trainers and padded jacket for authenticity.

I was wearing jeans but i didn't have a paddock jacket to hand.I was singing 80s songs to myself though.
I did used to have a couple of 4LO LCs years ago and if i am being honest i prefer the power delivery of those,the powerband comes in a lot harder.
I never could get on with the handling on them though.
Maybe a 350 engine in an MZ frame would be fun
The bike had been stored in a heated garage and the owner is a mechanic so it's been checked over. I still took it easy and just gave her a bit of a squirt in third gear.
From the information i got the original owner died and the bike was passed on to someone else who never rode it, I did spare a thought for the original owner, i wonder if he was looking down on me approvingly,hope so.

I sold my dads 350YPVS last year and had it stored for about 12 years maybe it is the same one

I used to wear a helmet called an Alien back in the 80s it looked like a Simpson. I cant remember what the make was. That was just an old memory that came flooding back
