I can see a cool little bobber bike there. Is it called a Ram Air or something like that?

Funny you should mention picking up a RD400. I bought one new. It was maybe the nicest riding and handling bike I ever owned. Also had a RD350 that I made into a cafe racer. I think the designation on it was S2a. Currently riding a '82 Honda XR500L. Love the sound of the big 4-stroke thumpers. By the way, I don't know if you saw my roadster project. I tagged it onto the Jets/Funnys at Firebird thread. Take a look and tell me what you think. Richard.

I bought a 78 RD brand new for $1300. Very quick and handled great. I almost bought a Daytona on Ebay last week.
