More than ever, a feeling's creeping up on me that I am beginning to resemble the bike. As the thirties roll around my mind, I can feel the flexible approaches to the past fall away. Tool kits in the bike have reduced to just a spare plug and s-panner but at the same time, my insane willingness to wax and clean has leaned away a bit. Probably from years of knowing years of doing the same have not

It is undoubtedly so, that time is of essence,Purportedly I know,Anything else makes me tense,I'm sold on my convictions even if the world bellows,That my Yezdi don't make sense.

By the way, Bob the britisher who had left his diesel bullet with me, had come by and taken it for another trip. He then called me from Nepal saying he had sold it and had instead bought a thunderbird, and wanted to know if he could come back and leave the thunderbird with me, till he came back next from England.

With the plans congealing for the weekend, we waited with sober and bated breath. Spent the night before neatening out the bikeyard and my balcony w/s. Woke at six and hung around, neat and sober till about 11:30 when Shukla turned up. He lives right next door and we stripped and re-assembled his roadking last winter. Shukla happens to be an authority on the RD350. Once while working for LML, he

Chetan says:"Planned a Jawa/Yezdi meet and Suzuki was came in for a visit."What happens when they say the cloth for cleaning the bike is stolen everytime? Replacing it with your 'Clean Underwear' won't do you good. Especially if the get the Registration Plate is written upside down!?!

Wily rolled in next with his Ustaad Anil, Vijayanth and Gurjeet. We ogled some more at each other’s machines. Gurjeet’s RK was pristine with the red in the tank logo plates still intact – y’know the red inside the font on the logo...). Vijayanth’s bike was the silver Deluxe and since he was last and his bike was so clean, it was suggested he park in the mud : ). More joy rides ensued.

Next we lined up all the bikes and clicked some photo documentation. More hanging out happened till the Suzuki left our midst and we all congregated inside in front of the cooler. Mostly because we were worried Ameya would melt in the hot, humid north-Indian sun. Beer broke out and conversation flowed. More facets were discovered about each other.

8th July is Jawa day!Old bikes never die. They live on memories long after the paintwork on them has faded from years of storage in dusty old garages across India. July 8 is going to be celebrated internationally by all Jawa owners who will congregate and ride their bike.That's right! So again, July 8 is Jawa Day. Pull out your old Yezdi & Jawas onto the roads en masse!

A drunk biker is riding through the city and his bike is weaving violently all over the road. An Irish cop pulls him over. The cop says to the biker, "Where have you been?" "I've been to the pub," slurs the biker. "Well," says the cop, "It looks like you've had quite a few." "I did all right," the biker says with a smile. "Did you know," says the cop, standing straight and folding his arms, "that

Did my old bycycle up. picked it up from my brother's place nearby. landed up, handed the air pump to my three-foot tall nephew and pulled the thing out of the garrage, dusted it off and pumped the tires up. its a K-Mart bycycle from the 1980s. Apparently those things were so heavy that they lasted and lasted. This one is a 26' wheeled 10-speed model called Santa Fe with dropped handlebars,

Just got a call at work from Raja, whom Akshay did a Model B restoration for. Regardless of the outcomes, they did scope out the Pacco factory here in New Delhi back then. Since then and some travel later, apparently the owner of the Pacco factory met Raja and wanted to check out the possibility of Jawa being a name that might still draw sales in India. Not their idea, but apparently Jawa in

the idea, in case you never read Anna Sewell's (1820-1878) Black Beauty, is to run a pasture for old horses, where they can feed and feel free in peace. i just want to see these bikes live and really don't care a toss (literally) for the owners who ride them. am just a hostler who recognises his like.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Beauty ]

For all you monohockers (intentional) out there, India's first production mono-shock rear-ended bike was the BSA Falcon. Another variant called the BSA Bond, I believe, had conventional twin rear shock absorbers. From what i gophered (wish I could still say 'gleaned' but in this day and age, they have forgotten the cube), this was some sort of a tea manufacturing company's foray into

I never try and explain how points should be set. Mathilda had more than half a cm of play on the cam caused by cracks radiating outwards from the bearing housing in the main crankcase itself. So I ended up learning points the wrong way around. I learnt about how the clutch, points, and carb systems overlap instead of starting properly by distinguishing these systems seperately.

Okeh peeps, dis is where you check your chain tension. Reach thru dem spokes and slide the 'patti' holding the round disc in place. Choose a finger you want to dirty and push up/down on the chain to guage tension. They are lovely chain covers that really, really, really extend the life of your chain. Two things: ALWAYS US A DOUBLE NUT ON THE BOLT SECURING THE TWO HALVES OF YR CHAIN AT THE BACK!
