Hi Friends - got myself a 1696 Jawa day before yesterday from a fellow xbhpians uncle - it took us like 2hrs to get her started and wow the sound is amazing

My dad has a 1964 Jawa which he uses even now every weekend just to keep it in the running condition. The sound of the bike is just amazing. And what's more, the speedo is in mph compared to the kmph that we find on every bike here. It's red in color.

The first time when my dad asked me which bike i wanted to buy, i said i would keep his bike and use it. But he was dead against it (Quite understandably). I will get a few pictures of the bike when i go home next time.

The first time that i rode the machine, it felt so good. I was in love with it instantly. I still wish that someday my dad comes up to me and says that i can have the bike. 45 years old and still going strong.

One hell of a machine.

** clap clap** a round of applause

,amazing pictures amazing writeup.... i have only seen pictures of my dad with his black 85' yezdi ... a road mishap with a canine... my father broke his back and family forced him to sell off the bike
even though two decades after the accident his back could not recuperate ... he gets nostalgic while talking about his ride...
the thump of a yezdi is music to all of us...
ill show these pictures to my dad... im sure he'd love it
thanks Kwok

I have a 1973 Jawa myself. It runs like a charm! Sounds amazing too

I'm sure your dad will let you keep his prized possession soon enough.
