The bikers, from Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Kundapur, and Chikmaglur districts, after a round of display of Yezdi power through the main thoroughfares of the city with roaring thunders showcased the very important part of the classic and vintage bikes.
Keshava, a mechanic from Marnamikatte, started his career with Jawas and graduated to the rest of the models. He says that they are sturdy and reliable once you know how they operate and function. Many bikers use their old models once in a while to keep its heart in shape, as parts are not available any more.
Arun Shiri, a member of the club has managed to restore his 1971 model's original glory including the paint job. “Some parts you don't get and some are costly, if you plan to procure from the old stock held by Ideal Jawa in Mysore,” Shiri said.
