My dream bike at age 10 was a small mini-bike with a lawnmower motor on it.I dreamed of it night and day, never to own one. At age 12 I dreamed of a Honda minitrail 70, it was the bike all boys wanted, to poor- never to own one. At age 17 I worked my but off-got my first bike Suzuki 2cycle GT380--I was finally there, my first bike. Than I found out about the Yamaha Rd350 2-cycle, I dreamed of it night and day. Than finally I got my first RD. It was the bike of all bikes, I owned 3 of them-Orange 1975 yamaha Rd350B.
Raced, rode , ran from police, rode girls. I loved them, years flew by-now older-- I dreamed every night of them, I would wake filling the bike below me--fully awake and seeing it was only a dream-had to have another bike .. So I now have a Suzuki GSX-r1000, 100 times the bike the RD ever was, handling, fast, no super fast, it is a monster.. Then I park it, go to sleep at night and dream again of what----its orange and it has RD350 on the side cover... Those yamaha’s will live on in my dreams forever, I think you guys in India can still get your hands on them, if so buy it, borrow or what ever you have to do to get your hands on one..... It is the bike that will live on forever........Well I’m getting sleepy, my Suzuki Gixxer is locked up-- I’m dreaming again-starting up the ole RD-I can hear the chambers singing their song-bang bu-bang bu-bang bu-bang....When I die I hope it takes me away to where I will spend the rest of time sitting on an Yamaha RD 350-kick the starter and see God smile when the chambers sing their song.....
Ride safe--wear gear--ride it like you stole it........................
