The cost of crashing a gixxer in France

MAG? What authority would that bunch of idiots have at any race
meeting? Anyone other than a club or ACU official tried to look at my
bike in the paddock I'd tell them to **** right off, and I *know* I'd
have nothing to hide.

 

I remember reading that at the height of its popularity, Yamaha's RD350
was the most nicked vehicle type in Britain.

No idea if it's true....[/QUOTE]

I dount it, given just how easy Escorts (and similar) of that era were
to nick. Pop down a breakers yard[1] and grab the keys out of
half-a-dozen Fords and you could practically choose the colour.

[1] An old-fashioned one[2] where you break the cars yourself, and
only pay for the bits too big to stash in your pocket.
[2] e.g. Loomes's at Spondon.
