This Story was written by Majaz Khan. This is a story of a Yezdi Roadking and is also narrated by the old motorcycle.

My story :

I find myself fortunate to come from the last batch of the production before the factory shut doors. Have seen many of my siblings being ignored and many were put die a premature death.

I have survived the race competing with many big names but was overshadowed by sheer luxury they carried with them.

Yes, I stood at a corner for 6 years and was forced to rust. My heart stopped breathing, the veins were dry and yet I didn't complain. I withstand the cold, rain showers, the brutal sun and was shattered when I heard my Master whispering a friend that he would sell me to make some bucks out of me. I was a piece of garbage for him.

I was helpless when the onlookers made comments about how I look, my appearance and all decided that I should get ready to be scrapped.

Only when this amatuer guy came from no where and instantly bought me, took me to the hospital and got me back to life. He spent his time taking care of me. Yes, I do not have the same charm, I look worn out and have marks on my body. I am not what what people would love to hang out with but my new Master loves me the most and I promise to never let his faith in me go down.

I stand now to tell you all know that as we go out, we are capable of overtaking any new plastic machine, the refurbished candies with new cosmetics and my roar will just make them take a side turn.

Yes I am the same old Yezdi Roadking and I am back for the kill.

Restoring a bike makes you feel a part of the motorcycle itself. We feel every part of the bike, we understand every inch of the bike, there is a sense of satisfaction when one takes part in mending their bike.

This is so very similar to when a person is hospitalised but you have to keep meeting him during the illness so that he recovers faster.

And the above mention is true. Try it yourself. 

1: Leave your bike at the mechie and go and collect it only when it's all ready.

2: Leave your bike at the mechie, spend about an hour discussing the mods, repairs, expenses, etc. Visit the mechie regularly. See and feel what's been going on with you bike.

I'm 100% sure you will feel your soul attached to your motorcycle and that baby is gonna hit the road sooner than you expect.

Please leave a comment if you also feel so.

Hope these bike restoring stories and experiences I had will be liked by you all. - Ankit Kadle.

What goes inside an engine that makes it running since 1980s?

Answer: Spirit. It's the spirit of motorcyclists and the zeal to make sure these 30 year old bikes run better than the new ones. It's the determination of motorcyclists that makes them do the impossible in order to achieve what they love the most.

Similar such story is going to be shared with you very soon. A story of a bike which was drowned, submerged in ground partially, some parts just did not make it and some parts still good to go.

Stay tuned for this story which will be shared soon enough but will be in parts just like how that bike is now ;)

This is the story of all the madness, fun and the lessons 2 stroke traveller / Rishad Bhumgara learnt while he rode solo to China and Myanmar Border. Covered 10000 Kms in 45 days on his 30 year old Yezdi!
