The Yezdi 250 Classic Restored !
Its Ready Restored & Running, all the hard work has paid off...
at last a shy of relief & the joy that I have experienced & experiencing !
all the do & don t's all the negative markings that I had received from the people around me has been converted into a positive & more joy full expressions.
reminiscing the time when it was just a thought & now its a reality.
remembering how I had to convince a lot of people to help me out, be it moving the bike from a dead space where it would have had rotted for the rest of its life, how we transported it from Pune to Bombay in a Qualis it was a night to remember...how we had to sqeeze it in the Qualis, how we had to move it & bring it back to Bombay where it was destined to get a new life.
Now recollection those memories just makes me feel happy & a sense of achievement that i have or should i say we(friends, family, The Mechanic & the Painter) have achieved together.
we had our share of roughs talks, brainstorming & laughs through out this session... ;) This Led us to achieve the ultimate goal that was meant for Us !
Thanking all My Friends, Family for their Support in Words & Kind ;)
Thanking the Painter & the Mech. for doing such a superb job, could n't have asked for more..(thought it was way above my budget)
Hope this Brings Happiness for all you people who are/were associated with this Project.
Here are some pictures that will guide you through out the project.

Phase 1
The bike Was in chakan so it had to be transported to mumbai for the restoration to begin, here is how it was all done..
Me & My few friends from Mumbai after my constant nagging & emotionally friendly "tochan" planned a sudden trip to get the bike.
Ravii Got his Qualis & then both of us got in the other two lazy heads Rehmat shiekh & Azhar (also a Mech.) thought they had their rojas they tried their heavenly tantrums but could n't succeed & hence were forced to join in...
& then we left for Chakan at night at about 11:30pm...
After a lot of tp & fueling at the Mumbai Pune Expressway it was time to rush but in a sober speed :) yes we say a big no to Rash Driving !
(we had no choice, no need to try it people)
Yes after all the hush hush we managed to get the bike inside the qualis had a early break fast at my masi's house & also had the opportunity to celebrate the festival of rakhi.(thanks to my lovely cousins who were awake to tie rakis to their brother :) )
after all that fun we had to head back for mumbai...
(he gave me the car when we had reached Panvel)
We reached mumbai safe & sound without & problem's...
Clicked the Bike later that day !
Phase 2
It was a hectic night but still was super excited & woke up with in 3 hr's & was ready to look for a Mech. i wanted the bike to start as it was laying down for more than 10yrs & I wanted to get it checked & start it up for the third phase i.e Paint & body work !
So after many calls & smses found some one who might be able to do the needful & get it running without wasting time took/pushed the bike to his Garage luck me he was nearby...
The bikes tyres were flat, no ignition key & the left side filter panel was missing...
Once i reached there there was a mixed reaction from the people at the shop then can munna bhai he quickly checked by pumping the kick & told no problem the bike looks good within 2hrs he had started the engine & yes the bike was running with that mind blasting sound of the two stroke engine ...
So i was happy & yes started the work with munna bhai he got me the genuine ignition switch from bangalore did the wiring from an expert but as i told him i wanted the bike to be stripped & sent for paint he was shocked & suggested that its not a good idea as the parts were a headache to get.But as i was dedicated & wanted the bike to look immaculate & pristine i waited & was on a look out for another Mech & painter.
have uploaded a video after the start up !
Phase 3
After a long wait of 10 days with the help of my mech friend Azhar got a painter & he suggested a Yezdi specialist mech. who only works on these bikes.
Without hesitation called the Mech. & arranged a meet he was very quick & reached the painters off. we had our chat about the bike how & what will he do.. & then came the final negotiations after coming on a particular amt. i freezed the deal & then he started work immediately..
Stripping the Bike
Color/Chrome
Fitting the bike back on
as i wanted the bike to be black & less on chrome we only chromed the headlight ring, Org yezdi handle bar, chromed spokes, shock up spring rear !
the rest would be Black in color for the main body paint & Silver for the Engine with the silencer's & the Rim's have a Matte Black for a rigid feel that the bike has.
The Mech.
Painter to the Right
Total Cost of the Project !
