REWARD FOR MACK’S ELSIE!

Former 500cc Grand Prix rider and three-time British Superbike champ Niall Mackenzie is on the hunt for his original RD350LC that he had on the road before launching him on his amazing race career.

He says: “I did know, or thought I knew where my original bike was – PUS 581W – but it has since disappeared.

“For me, the Yamaha RD350LC is the best bike to come out of Japan and it set me up for life, that’s why I’m offering a reward (not a massive one, I’m Scottish) for whoever can find it for me.”

This picture here of a young Niall and his pride and joy was taken in 1981. On the reverse of the pic it says: “This bike changed my life.”

If you can help Niall find PUS 581W let editor Bertie know at: bsimmonds@ mortons.co.uk.
