Great story of a husband and wife duo who built this R5/RD350 from a rusty and greasy heap.

Those are some old, faded, confused memories.

I think 'the dr' was drinking heavily when he wrote that :guinness:

I saw that reply. The facts and grammar seemed a little.. um fuzzy. But fond memories of the old 2t twins anyway.

Anyway, I think the bike turned out great. Well done build. Another one saved.  :patriot:
