      RD3500LC's where famous for having a small ball-bearing that kept their kick-start levers in place, once used - it was famously forgotten during rebuilds/tuning . . . and so LC's *'Flying Kick-start'* pics of the time, are commonplace 😁

    Lovely job mate. I had one of these when I was a lad. My dad had me on motorcycles since I was four years old. I really liked my TY80, but alas all I really wanted to do was race motorcross.......and I did. After the TY, my next bike was a Honda CR80R (Red Rocket)
    Fond memories mate.
    Well done.

    Great job. Instantly recognised my first bike. I used to race it round the garden, especially after watching Kick Start on telly. One time I tried to copy doing a 180 by putting your foot down and bringing the front wheel up to pull it round. I ended up putting the petrol switch through my knee as the bike came down and needed 6 stitches in hospital.😳

Great to see you worrying the Police officer as you nipped to the cashpoint last week, perhaps enjoying the ca$h from the sale of your TY80. That tasty BMW you were piloting must have reversing cameras, or you were using the glare from the PC sat in the driving seat to determine distance from the squad car. We were sat in our car enjoying one of Greggs finest waiting for the sound of deforming bumper.

    You ought to be really pleased with yourself, from not doing anything like this before to completely restoring your bike is a great achievement. You are right it’s a bit like a big jigsaw...look for another project to restore...keeps you young..great job 👍👍

    My very first bike when I was 16, 40 years ago was a TY 50. I bought it second hand for £170.00.
    This brought back so many happy memories.
