On 'The Gap' road in Wales in about 2005 just before it was closed permanently to traffic. That's me in the black jacket sitting on my old KTM 400. You can just see a small 'v' shape in the ridge of the mountains which is the actual gap that the road goes through, about 5cm directly left of my head in the shot.

Nice looking bike mate! The Red / Black were a rare sight down my way back in the day, mostly White / Blue 'uns and the occasional yellow YPVS special :)

I had the 250 air cooled predecessor, had to wait another couple of years before I had a real radiator on my DTR ;)
I had a red and white 250LC before this 350 and then another blue and white 250LC afterwards. The first 250 and this 350 were stolen within 6 months of each other and, when I sold the blue and white one to my sister, one of her friends wrote it off! I wish I still had at least one of them!

Hi RBJ, I think it was taken by either Zulu (whatever happened to him?) or Pistol Pete?

Tis one was for sale at last year's Copdock bike show in Ipswich - lovely restoration but IIRC the asking price was around 5 grand!:
