Yes. This thread his going to be about brining back my pulsar to its life.
After selling my dtsi model pulsar a few months back for an Avenger, I was just not able to forget those lovely moments I had with the bike. I contacted the guy to whom I sold it in an effort to get it back but in vain. Seems like he was so fond of the round headlamp model that he refused. I also had plans to get into automobile business and decided to test the possibility of success with my very own bike. That was a biggest mistake... selling off a good 9.yrs old bike with almost new cosmetics and unopened engine.:banghead:
I was able to deal with many bikes after that but somehow I used to envy any pulsar with round headlamp would pass through. Finally decided to get one and keep it with me.
Searches began for the pulsar but none was in reasonable condition. I was horrified to see pulsars in the hands of construction supervisors to transport cement and rubbish. The bikes were abused as much as possible. Most bikes were not worth rebuilding. It was beyond restoration. False advertisements, remodeled and dumped bikes, poorly maintained rides... I was about to give up the sentiment.:thumbdown:
Finally, set a deadline of 3days time. Either get the old model pulsar or stop the drama and continue with life.
One fine morning I received a call from a friend about a purple colored pulsar. Called the owner, visited and picked the bike.:thumbup:
It was a 2002 model, single spark model. Even the swing arm was different. Loved the test ride. Felt like I got something back from the past. I knew this would not replace my earlier bike. But still I bought it. Decided to restore it by myself except engine rebuild.
Today, I am at least happy that I was able to save a good bike from becoming extinct. :beer:
So there goes the story of reviving my trusted ride.
Here are the starters pictures for pulsar lovers.:beer:
