I drove my mates RD350 down the new dual carriageway by pass of Newton Abbot in I guess 1976.
I used to my 200cc Honda 4 stroke.
It went like dermot but there was of course no engine braking. Combine that with a flexible frame & two leading shoe front brake & I must admit I decided they weren't for me as I hurtled towards the Penn Inn roundabout.
