Hi everyone.I am riding bikes since i was in 5th grade.My first bike was a James hand gear model.After that i i learn to ride scooter.Than my dad restored a vespa for me when i was in 6th grade on which i used to go in rally with my dad.But later when i came in 9th grade my dad gave me a Matchless G3LS 350cc which i ride for 3years and attended many rallies on it.Motorcycles are getting into my nerves day by day.

But after Matchless i got a modified chopper bullet which no longer stayed with me.For one year i didn't ride a bike.But when i came in 11th grade on 17th birthday my dad presented me a BSA A7 which was damn good when i ride it first time.I remember when i ride first time RD 350 i don't know about that bike means about its power i thought that its like the same other vintage bikes.I gave the instant throttle to it and it jumped in 2nd gear that time i was scared i stopped and look at bike and thinking that what i am driving my heart beat was increased.But when i took BSA for ride i can't forget that sound i never heard that sound.I stretched it to 110 km after coming back to home i read its manual and i found that its 30bhp at 5800rpm, with a top speed of 90mph.From that day no other bike i like.Even i take a ride on BSA A10 which is 650cc but no comparison.I am speech less i don't know how to express about that bike.After that on noida express highway i stretched it to its maximum.

I never ever forget this bike and its sound.

Ah nice bike bro...

Just a tip, collect your thoughts and then write.... it becomes a bit taxing otherwise.
I can understand the thrill and excitement....
I do remember my first experience on a bike, and what a bike it was... the mighty RD...
I do remember one of my society - uncles Yezdi .. phew!

Again started riding in the late 1970's when I bought my brother's Enfield Bullet. Sold the bullet when moved to Bangalore. In 1985 I rode my friend's RD-350 and decided to buy one. But due to my better half's opposition ended up acquiring the Sunbeam-S8 ( a basket case ). Took me 3 years to restore the Sunbeam and since then using it ( occassionally). In 1987 bought my BSA A50.Till now no maintenance other than routine has been done on this machine. I maintain these 2 machines myself. Also I have my son’s Hero Honda CBZ which again I use occasionally. I am attaching the photo of the Jawa on which I learned riding and also the Photo of my 1st Bike – The Enfield Bullet.
