    Ouf! What a Yezdi story!

    Approved
    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

          My Dad used to own a TMS registration Yezdi & I still wish to buy it, but alas, it was sold long back & the new owner didn't know the value of it. That's a sad story from my end. But yours is a happy beginning love story . I'm all eyes looking forward to reading more.

                      What do I see in the backgrounds? Another mint looking Yezdi & AX100? Is that right? You're getting some good collections mate.

                          Rahul, all the best on the rebuild. Your story reflects, how much you do love that bike. Should not be a problem for you to bring her back to glory.

                          PS: That is one well maintained AX100 right behind you, which just made me remember mine. Which year make is it?
