Default Hello from Mangalorean Vintage Enthusiast

Hi All ,


I have been a regular “silent” visitor to XBHP since 2009 and BIG thanks to MuthuKumar (powertwin) for bringing me here. Today I thought of breaking the silence …….


I am really bad at introducing myself…….



About me, I am Girish from Mangalore, a bike and car enthusiast
About riding, I was always passionate about motor vehicles, started my riding with my Suzuki Supra in 1992, later changed to Hero Honda Splendor ……so on to Yezdi Roadking.
Couple of my long rides.....Hyderabad-Mangalore, Bangalore-Mangalore, KushalNagar-Mangalore, Mysore-Mangalore, Coimbatore-Mangalore etc
I ride TVS Scooty for local commuting, RD 350 for weekend, Roadking for long rides... and Honda City for HOME minister….

Vehicles I own –1933 Austin 10/4 Tourer, 1968 Willys CJ3B, 1973 Jawa, 1961 Lambretta Li S2, 1967 Lambretta Li150 S3, 1970 Vespa 150, 1978 Yezdi Jet, 1978 Rajdoot Bobby GTS, 1984 Lamby, 1986 RD 350, 1996 Yezdi Roadking.


Other than riding , I love Kite flying, photography and collecting antiques (most say SCRAP)... lol


Thanks to Administrators

Hoping to increase my knowledge along with enjoying my stay.......

Before saying mere WELCOME.., this guy needs a real intro..( as he has already accepted that , he is too bad in introducing himself)
Let me do that...also request moderators to make him a senior XBHPian, if rules permit...b'coz this man deserves that!!!
It is his modest , haven't revealed the full list of Automobiles he have..
...the list he has revealed is just 10% I guess!!
( my request to Mangalore XBHPians to come forward and say few words about our GPV..)
This man is out of the country, almost 3/4 th days of calender year....dunno how many days he would have spent with his family here in India,...when ever he comes to India...he will be Flying, riding, driving, walking, to source parts , meeting people who are working on his Bikes & cars,..through out India!!
He would have been intersted in Flying Kites...when he was a kid., of course Photography ...can be done, while doing the above exercises... ..Collecting antiques>>....for sure, he will...as always his hands are OPEN!!.
Even if you have a BIG wallet, that to working in an alien land, sacrificing his family moments ....and trying to pursue his dreams of collecting& restoring automobiles..is NOT a JOKE..as many of them think....apart from his collection & stuff...basically , he tries to hear his friends needs & helps them , that too by remote handling..
Irequest GPV to post all his Bikes here one by one @ xbhp, at a exclusive thread.." GPV 's mega Garage"
Real hard core BIKE ENTHUSIAST !!
Welcome Buddy!!

cheers!!
Muthu Kumar.
ps: BTW, You dint say that you a rare stuff from Rajdoot BTS, plz do post that pics here>>
pps: You need not wait till that Sunbeam S7 to be completed, that project has nothing to do with HONDA fire Blade 1997
pps2: As already i have discussed about your TWN cornet @ this forum..you can also consider posting your DKW RT125 or 16M AJS....
@ GPV...do you want any more pps..reminding you that your Vellocette waiting for you at.....??

Welcome to XBHP Girish! Nice to have another Mangalorean aboard and a HUGE automobile enthusiast. That's one helluva collection you have there. It would be just amazing to see your garage someday.
