Hi All, I guess this is the place for introductions. First off, I am 73 yrs old and the original owner of a 1975 RL250. Several years back I did a re-conditioning of it. I removed the engine and painted the frame and swing arm. New paint on the airbox anfd fenders, but did not open the engine though. For most of the years I used it as atrail bike instead of trials bike. I bought it because the bikes of that era were starting to move to longer suspension travel, and at 5'4" they were all gettingbtoo tall to ride comfortably. That's also when the Japanese bikes started to be seen in the U.S. and their seat heights were decent. I bought the RL and my cousin who was my riding buddy bought a Honda TL250. After a year or so we fit knobby tires and raised the front fenders and rode them like that for 25 years or so. I just opened the engine on theRL this year and did a top end on it. Fired it up for a few quick minutes just this afternoon. If I can figure how to post a picture I'll put one up of it just after I reconditioned it several years back.
