Another RD tearaway in the making, the little bugger managed to get it
started.

 

Hog says...

I must have missed the picture of an RD400C, all I can see is a pic of a
yellow RD400*D* with a little boy sitting on it.

 

you can't fool Lozzo, Hog.

 

I dunno, I just can't see yellow as a good colour for a bike.

Hog says...

Did he know the little trick with the fusebox and a bit of silver foil
that negates the need for an ignition key?

 

In

Similar trick can be achieved with a Z650 and the rear brake light switch

 

Steve Parry says...

How does that happen then?

Oh come on. It's yellow ffs. If I had a yellow GL1000, I'd paint the tank
red, and the sidepanels and scoopy bits around the rad black, and the
luggage and the cack Windjammer would go straight on ebay.

Quantum memory goldfish.

Dodgy taste? Pah. You have a Blingmobile, I have a black GL1200. You have
a Pan, I have a VFR. You have a cafe racer Enfield, I have a Z200. You
have a VMax, I have a Ural outfit. Need I say more?

I've seen your sig. All you need is, oh, maybe a Suzuki Cavalcade, or a
CX500 trike.

Pah! Pah! and Pah! again. You flounder, you twist, you turn. You dangle
in the breeze on the gibbet of public scrutiny. You grasp at straws.

You are defeated! Utterly defeated! Brought low by a mere TS250! You are
MINE! Muahaahaahaahaaaaaaa!
