Yamaha Road Star description
Bought bike with 5700 miles on it. Customized it with 250 back tire and wide swing arm. Custom rear fender still supports a passenger. I have a wide wrap around rear fender and a Jesse James front fender that I will throw in for anyone with metal working/ painting skills to modify the rear for a solo bike. Sportster rear pulley and belt. Chrome open pulley Assembly, Extra chrome on engine, Bub shorties, chrome is coming off the billet tips. It has bullet chrome turn signals on front and back. Brake light is on license plate bracket. Rejetted for breather, pipes. 14 inch ape hangers with 3 inch billet chrome risers. It has extended stainless brake, throttle and clutch cables. Tank has been stretched. Custom rear fender with passenger seat and backrest. (Backrest not shown in pictures) Brand new forward controls. Back tire has less than 800 miles on it. Battery is a year old. There are a few small paint chips in the paint on the tank. She has a great, mean low rumble and handles beautifully in curves. A head turner. One of a kind bike. Always get compliments on it. Never had any mechanical maintenance issues with the bike. Changed oil every 3000 miles. Touched up rims where there is some rust. It is probably getting close to time for a new front tire. I was going to replace the rims and tires and some other modifications but bought an electraglide to accomodate the wife.

John Reynolds: Riding Masterclass
Fri, 17 Dec 2010When I first started racing about a thousand years ago, my local stomping ground was a place called Three Sisters near Wigan. It wasn’t glamorous but it was brilliant. An hour from home and with about a million corners crammed into just a km of tarmac. The Three Sisters was a reference to the three coal slag heaps that had once occupied the site before.
So that's why he's called RANDY de Puniet
Tue, 20 Jul 2010RANDY de Puniet may well have just been ejected from his LCR Honda RC212V MotoGP racer during qualifying for Sunday's Sachsenring GP but that ain't gonna stop him from bringing one of the company perks with him to Dr Costa's on-circuit surgery. The Frenchman crashed during qualifying after hitting oil and water spilled on track by Jorge Lorenzo's Fiat Yamaha, after it spewed its guts along almost the entire length of the start finished straight. Following the crash De Puniet was whisked away on a stretcher with a suspected broken foot.
Filling a void with an RD350LC
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Last winter I managed to fill a void in my life when I stumbled on a very reasonably priced Yamaha RD350LC. It was a tad scruffy, had the wrong exhausts but most importantly it was blue and white with all numbers matching. I had the usual euphoria when the deal was done but I underestimated how much pleasure this particular purchase would continue to deliver another eight months down the line. The difference with this old bike is, instead of just taking it for the occasional ride I was talked into doing a full nut and bolt restoration. Having never taking a bike apart completely before, initially it was quite daunting but I soon found the RD is easy to work on so it turned into a truly satisfying experience. I’ve had some help from LC enthusiasts with the rebuild, however, the stripping, sourcing and organising was a total labour of love. And call me sad but it has made me bond with this bike like no other which only adds to the feel good factor. The bike cost £1800 and I’ve spent around £1000 but I reckon my mint Elsie is now worth a fair bit more. I fancy rejuvenating a Fizzy next time but there’s lots of other cheap 70’s and 80’s winter projects out there so why not have a go yourself?
