Mine too. I had the RD250 DX (the air cooled model, coffin tank), just was not as quick as my mates 350LC but it was still fun.
I keep thinking about getting a small engine two stroke - RGV250, KR-1S, 350LC - just need to get my Kwak er6f sold first...

I bought the 2nd RD350LC to arrive in the UK, from a bike shop in Kilburn.
It was SO radical back then!
Water-cooled!!!
Blue and white, too.

I've had a couple of LC's in the early Eighties, Black one's though. About 7 or 8 years ago, a mate pointed out an original 250 LC for sale in Classic Bike mag for £1100.

I gave the guy a ring, and was told that the bike was original, but hadn't been run for 15 years. Anyway, as I had 3 bikes at the time I decided that I wouldn't bother, a decision that I now regret.

It was just over the Scottish border too, so not even that far to travel for a viewing.

Oh well..
