This is the version of the Yamaha RD400 I'm talking about

I'm not going to tell you how fast the bike went, what I will tell you, is that I was wearing full PPE to make sure that I was protected in full, and before I even kicked the bike into stationary stroke, I not only read the manual, I took the 2-hour pre-ride check, to make sure that the bike was in proper condition

I never mess around with PPE, you shall see it when I talk about torque PPE and {cyclingp bikes in separate subject lines

I rode the RD400 with full PPE, all the way from the underwear, up to the motorcycle riding boots, a PPE set which cost at that time about 1,800 US dollars. It was a PPE set that was ready for the circuit, the racing circuit

The RD400 Yamaha bikes as sold by J.F.D Heanen in my country, were full circuit ready, yet were made for the roads.

Our versions literally looked like the race bikes which were just modified for The Streets.

At that Time I didn't shoot photographs in a manner that I could preserve them for the Digital Era, which means that I would have to digitize the negatives, which are in my analogue negative library. I would needs weeks to locate them.
