Greetings ... and a request

[Bendernz]

Gidday to all the existing members of this board. Graeme has kindly let me join up even though my main purpose is to pick your brains.

I'm writing a book that will feature restored bikes, special bikes from the 60s/70s/80s. Two of the bikes I want to feature are an RH250 and RN400, these are the earlier down-pipe versions and have been restored to a very high quality.

The owner and people who are responsible for the restoration will be able to give me the history and story of the individual bikes but I hope that members of this forum will be able to help me with material I can use to research the history of the RH and RN range in general.

I have a general knowledge of the bikes (Joel Robert was always a rider I admired enormously and DeCoster still occupies a place of respect over the whole sport).

Long intro - I'm looking forward to getting into the detail of these bikes.
