sounds like thHD would be a good dirttracker, is it a 400 or 500?

Twofiddy (is on the tank ;)) -  which makes comparison to an RM370 a little unfair :P.

They are both bloody cool bikes  8) i love 370s and Johns is a very cool example. regardless of the race result i would have to say if given the option to have in my shed the harley wins hands down.

Great idea though John  :) perhaps you can rustle up a few more pre 78 250/open bikes from the lads up there and have an old skool  shoot out  ;D Dont forget to make sure you get plenty of pics to post and a proper shootout report  :)
