Ah..the evergreen :clapping:. Alway wanted to own one, still want to own a (RXZ to modify) but chances seems very low, considering I am not allowed (by my family) to ride too much. I own a 1983 Yamaha RD350 HT for the last 12 years.My fav' still is the RX135 and nothing beats the sheer joy riding a 2 stroke and popping a wheelie .
I have seen ironhorse's ironhorse at the hyd meet and it is a beauty ! I am guessing lot of TLC everyday to the bike
That's some shopping list. I'll ask a few people. I don't think there'll be much left.
Denom, my old man had a Triumph Speed Twin. When he moved from Delhi to Hyderabad, he sold it because he didn't think tha there would be mechanics good enough there. That's when he bought that Jawa, which I so curse at times.
If in Bangalore, come down to the Motorcycle Cafe Museum on a Sunday. There's always a bunch of guys there about breakfast time. Laast time I was there, two Dommies and on A10 were milling around
In Hyderabad, There is a guy called Shankar behind Idgah Maidan near Padmarao Nagar. This guy has a Matchless, Norton, BSA, Triump and a vintage scooter with reverse speedometer like smiths in his mechanic shed. All in knocked down state. I vaguely remember him telling one of those motorcycle's cost 15 lacs. This one was a long motorcycle ( BSA/Norton I think ).
congrats Aman. Looks cool and i am sure ride is great as well. So when is the looooong trip planned for ?
my weekend girlfriend is my RE Bullet 350 Deluxe ( 1997 ). Done long rides on it in college etc.. and it always amazes. The thrill of the 350 CC single thumping away at a hair raising speed of 60 kmph is some thing many bikes just cant match !!
