I rode a friend`s RD350 home from Ro-Don, went to Ernie White`s a number of times, he sponsored many racers. I`ve been to the Honda dealer where you got your Z-50. One more...anyone remember the Yamaha dealer on Yonge, west side, just below Cummer, above Finch I recall. They had a beautiful black/gold RD400 in the window for a while...that was `77 I think.

cool! don't know any body that didn't own an RD back in the day, mine was a 74 I still want another one! those were the days!

I bought a used FJ600 from Ernie back in the early 80's. He was living in Brampton and I test rode it in the underground parking garage at his building. I didn't know who he was at the time, but when we went up to his apartment to complete the sale it was like walking into a motorcycle racing museum. There was motorcycle memorabilia, photos and trophies everywhere.
