[RD400C]

Hello Fellow IIS Members,
This is my fist post. I have had a quiet passion for astronomy since my younger days, and have recently rekindled my interest. I have been reading the IIS forums and have picked up a great deal of useful links and information. I am impressed with the community spirt, and the willingness of every one to help. I think it is Leon that has a tag of "Life is to short to look through bad glass" it is sort of I how I feel, living in a great place on the planet, and being able to look up at the night sky and feel connected to where I am. I am sure that I will be asking some really dumb questions in the future, but I know that I will get some really good answers. Garth

Hi Garth
Welcome to IIS
There is no such thing as a dumb question just a dumb answer !
RD400 I take it you mean the bike ?
BTW back in the 80s had a go on a RD350LC that was fun

Thanks David, yes the 1976 RD400C was the first bike I owned from new.
Nothing like an air cooled two stroke twin for the most fun for the least amount of moving parts.
