Not mine, but seller says it runs and rides.  Seems like a good deal if so.

I guess somebody got it.

[msr]

Yep. It was me.

and i can finally unload some of those stock parts i've had for like.. a decade.

It's gonna be a humble daily rider, but it'll be solid for sure. Good contrast to the 400E when it's done.

Nice score Matt

This one went to see m in sc on Saturday and took along its lucky donuts. A lot of good things to work with here for sure!

was a great day

then the typical sticky 'its been sitting forever' clutch.  solid base though. Wife (Angie) was filming, which i didn't know at the time.

Everyone should have a neighbor like Mark!

Well, we do live in different towns, but I've known him since 7th grade... and his mom likes me best, so there that.

I got lucky after a 1 day round trip in a rental truck from Atlanta to Southern Illinois to get my '74 RD350...

After cleaning it up, replacing fluids, rebuilding carbs the clutch was sticky,.

Fortunately I have a mildly steep hill one way and a steep hill on my corner lot so I pulled in the clutch in neutral, started it rolling and pulled in the clutch, selected 2nd and let go the clutch lever and voila!
