    good one TB ahh the memories. i had a 125h and a 125j aswell also an 80e, 80h and 80j. the oldman bought me the 80e and 80h than i left school an got a job at mc culloch yamaha on the production line puttin bikes together. i was 15. than i got retrenched (they shut after 6 months and we all got the arse) and bought the 80j from from a younger guy from the the local area, the 125’s came later. i wish i still had em now though. i loved ridin em all. to & from the local tracks on the roads with me mates was always a hoot. they never let me down either although i did’nt do them justice cause i was always stackin em and bendin things. anyway TB thanks again for the ride down memory lane..have a good one.

    Must have been on the 125’s then, the first watercooled 80 was the J, my mate had the J and I had the K (radiator on the side) and now I have an S if I ever get time to put it back together.

    yz80h non water cooled, yz80j water cooled behind front plate, yz80k water cooled on rhs black radiator shroud black frame, yz80L red radiator shroud rhs.
    The 125’s were 1 model ahead of the 80’s in design for a while back in the 1980’s.

    yeah mick that’s the one. i had a cousin who was doing a motorbike mechanics apprentership there and he got me a start. the oldman said if i got a job i could leave school so i was outer there quick smart. the RD’s were great bikes. a bloke i know had 250 than got the blue and white 350. they were a bit of a weapon the old RD’s.

    Yeah I had both the 250 and 350. My old man gave me the same ultimatum regarding a job.
