Just kept my Junks aside for couple of weeks &..rest Nostalgia ..

My dear friends, as many contacted{questioned} in telephone & mails..our Franky came in to the Forum
..Sure must share this>>>





( this man Agoram Chandra Sekar ..just introducing his family members at the stage......Not to forget he was the person who gifted me TWO Bajaj CUB Scoots... Gosh!!..No no one can say I went OT !!)

And without these Guys ( my Engineering Batch mates)....this G2G would haven't turned this big...where my Annamalai University haven't seen like this one before in past 70 years>>


Nothing to get bamboozled by the above pics.... But, it is quiet natural for any biker to see these kind of pics in a Bikes related thread!!
My Engineering batch mates (1983-87-- from all the facility) decided to Re CALL the 1987 after 25 years at Chidambaram Annamalai University..& it happened so that many of our NRI buddies came from abroad with their families, but very few few local chaps skipped the function....though I was not the big gun in the organizing committee...but was trying to focus on my mates around the world to get them involved in this Recall ( some time directly or some time indirectly)
Though this Fossil fuel driven Machines drive me mad in to various tangents nearly a decade....but this TWO day Cultural -re-union drove me to Ecstasy ....which I could n express in words...man one should experience to believe it !!!
It is heartening to note how elated our batch-mates and their families felt about the reunion. There were many a "cloud-nine" moments as we recollected and shared from the past. It didn't matter what our friends had become in their professional lives and social status, the banter and the teasy chats were the same as 25 years back!
Last but least one of my batch mate{Dr.Elango), now Head of the Dept at a Famous Engineering college..told me That I need pick his 1987 or '88 KB & add to my collection..hm!! poor Chap who dunno already I have a Kawasaki KH100.....let's see how it turns up

Saar, vada saar!

Glad you had good fun! Having a reunion after 5 years of school was such a fantastic experience for me, I can only imagine how it must have been to have such a ball after 25 years!

You naughty Ricky 'aka' Slayer!!

Pradeep ...'aka' ...Ricky....'aka'..Slayer...you are senior member at this Forum & I never knew about this till this post...you have nearly 250 plus posts at your account, thought you might be very Busy with " Gallatta Engine" work so I used to sent mails, containing some of this Forum Tit bits...hm!! never mind
really this re-union was fantastic....will talk about on our next meet..
BTW....This VADA is just a Tip of the Iceberg...Man, we had all kind of Chettinad Delicious divine food...just don't want our buddies to salivate on seeing the pics...will PM you
So, Guess you dint green signal from higher authorities to update Classics any more....hey just make a trip , we shall go to Venu Briyani at least

Nice to know that u attended your Engg college re-union, this reminded me our own High school Re-union we had in 2008 after 27 years.

speachless... really its worth the efforts.

.........

After 25 years...hm!! unimaginable TRANSFORMATIONS...." Bright Students then.....Light Businessmen now~~, Poor Students then..>>> Big Guns now!!, Veg then~~Non-Veg now, Non Smokers then ~~ Chain Smokers now, SO on ~~~ On Show now
& now this will be a "Off Topic" post, if I forget to reveal about the Automobiles we had @ 1987 & now (2012)
Among the whole gang we had a RX100, TVS 50 , Luna TFR ++, Yezdi B and few bicycles
most of us used to hire Bicycles from the near by Shops
Now (2012)>> Audi Q7, BMW, Mercs, Renaults, Hondas, Volkswagons, ...damn it I should have driven my BADAL

...& now some mathematics, to find out who is the Big daddy among us
High school..after 27 years @ 2008
2012 -2008 = 4
4 plus 27 = 31 years
and now assuming if you have completed 4 year bachelors after schooling like me, than you would have celebrated your Silver jubilee on the year 2010..........................Now tell who is the Big Anna here???


ps: calculations based on Tamilnadu education system Now & then!!

Senior members make a substantial contribution to the forum, I haven't, unfortunately, at least for the last two years. So, in a way I should be thankful to you for sending me the snippets by mail as it made me want to come back to xBhp

The higher ups would kick my ass of to CBE if I'd let them, just too caught up with one too many things in life sir. Will be coming there soon

I'm 16 years old when i came out of high school (10th standard) + 2 years (11th & 12th standard)+ 3 years bachelors degree. now do the math yourself

After Pearl-_ yet another machine from Nandas

Yes , I agree 'am the Big ANNA, at least satisfied that Dr.Nanda Kumar is there , who won't address me ANNA..


& ..now you Franky...our "vijaymeyou" will break our heads , if PEARL Yamaha is left around for a SELF SPIN...
@ viyaymeyou:- Let me come out of the Hang out....and continue with Pearl yamaha, as soon I finish that......there is a R _ _ a _ out in the Que , ah!! yet another machine from Nandas

Hello Sir

Muthu Sir,

Thanks for your advice & suggestion on the Atlas Solex.
I was very happy after talking to you that the Solex is fixable.
Thanks for taking the time off to discuss the same. I have sent you pictures of the bike & will await your response.

For the benefit of the Forum Here are the pictures of the Prized possession & i have also started a thread under http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/who-you/ while it waits for Admin approval.

ATLAS -Sportmatic-TURBO KING RVX

*...& now here is my other variant from Atlas Speedomatic..." TURBO KING"
.....as it is of the last legs of Atlas mopeds(I)ltd...There was a Change in frame Geometry, few cosmetic changes like rear fender , side panels, Tool Box etc...



SAME power train, but with upgraded porting & a Stub Exhaust (SS), same flat head lights of power king & Atlasolex ( here this particular Turbo king has been modified with TVS XL H/Light



These later versions of TURBO King had lots of ABS plastic, instead of lots of Chrome of the early models>>
TURBO KING -RVX was the name

to my surprise still these rider Instruction STICKER there>>



....these guys disappointed you (even me)....adding lots of plastics instead of Chrome in the later versions>>

& here are the POWER KING pics from earlier post....Now compare TURBO Vs POWER

Auto gear Variator- Atlas Speedomatic-video

...Now guess WHAT???
is that Moped (my new addition)
Now Plus 1
Well here is the video ....How the AGV works in Atlas speedomatic...my humble presentation
ATLAS Sportmatic Moped---Watch the Auto Gear system--How the stuff works?? - YouTube

Cheers

^^ why the engine moves up and down while accelerating and slowing down..??

alien technology or what..??

can you post some pics of your lambrettas.

Yezdi Monarch

Muthu Sir,

Please find below a link for the Yezdi Monarch on sale in Mysore Karnataka.
Thought its best to share on your thread so that like minded people will get to notice & save it if interested.

AGV- Auto Gear Variator in Atlas Speedomatic

Isn't it ???
Atlas AGV moped were designed so.......to achieve MULTIPLE Gear ratios ,...Now you have to open the video in a separate tab ( to grasp things easily)
Imagine the Engine at idle running or stand still>>>
Engine power has to be transmitted to the " Primary drive" ( primary drive for the rear wheel)
This is V belt driven one, so both the DRIVE & DRIVEN pulley should have the same profile of the Belt...{V}
Drive & Driven pulley will be in different diameter ( in our case...drive will be small & the DRIVEN will have Large Diameter......so now as both the pulleys have the same profile ( Included angle of the profile" V")
Now , when the crank starts rotating....Crank pulley[DRIVE] rotates at the speed of the engine ( ignore the belt slip....there will be slippage obviously as it is Belt)
The DRIVE pulley drives the "Primary drive pulley" of the Wheel{ here it is DRIVEN in this system of AGV..i.,e:" Auto Gear Variator"
Now talking about the AGV system alone>>>
Crank pulley :>>> DRIVE pulley
Primary drive pulley of the wheel :>>> DRIVEN
Say ..when Drive pulley is running at 500 RPM (idle)
& now accelerates from..500....600...700... 2500......
As the Engine is pivoted at a point (a top) & below it is just hanging, pulled & kept at tension by means of coil springs at the bottom
Now by inertia, the engine moves behind...depending on the forces ( here it is RPM)
Whereas The DRIVEN pulley is fixed & starts rotating....BUT...the Belt contact circumference varies...as the included angle of the pulley is same as of the Belt.....thus multiple gear ratios are achieved.....now that is AGV or auto Gear Variator !!
Think have to make few sketches to make things more clear
