Yamaha Other description

This 1973/74 TZ is a stunning restoration performed by Montreal, Canada-based Bimota restoration specialist Francois Pelletier.  Good enough to have fooled more than a few TZ aficionados into the belief that it was as delivered by the factory.  Multi-time Superbike Champion and purveyor of fine performance exhausts, Lang Hindle bought this machine new back in the day - and then with a conflict arising from his contract with Kawasaki, he rode it in only one event in Quebec, Canada under an assumed name.  He sold it to a local rider and it promptly fell off everyone's radar. 

About 10 years ago, Francois found in rural Quebec, Canada. Years of storage in a less than ideal environment had taken a toll and the bike underwent a complete and painstaking restoration.  On tear-down, it became apparent that the bike had very little time on it, so the bulk of the restoration work was cosmetic in nature. Frame and engine numbers are visible in the hi-resolution photos HERE

Filling a void with an RD350LC

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last 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?
