Come Sunday, the 13^th of July, you will witness a spectacle that happens only once in a year - the largest gathering of Jawa’s and Yezdi’s in Bangalore. Manufactured by the Ideal Jawa Company in Mysore until 1996, these 250 cc bikes known for their distinct beats from its twin exhaust will come back alive on the road to celebrate the 12^th International Jawa Yezdi Day.

The International Jawa Yezdi Day is an annual celebration held on the second Sunday of every July across the globe to celebrate the power and legacy of these 175, 250 & 350cc bikes. These bikes were manufactured and sold in India from the year 1960 up to 1996.

This year, BJYMC is organizing its annual meet starting 8am at Hombegowda School Grounds, 10th Cross, Wilson Garden, Bangalore (Opp Brand Factory, Hosur Rd) followed by a ride to Rasta Café on Mysore Road at 10.30am which is about 40kms from the city. The event will act as a platform for biking enthusiasts and collectors to interact with some of the oldest Jawa riders and employees of the Ideal Jawa factory.

 

Over 500 bikes gathered at last year's Jawa Day

BJYMC (Bangalore Jawa Yezdi Motorcycle Club) which has been in existence since 2007 has tried to revive these bikes and bring them back on the road. Today, there are over 600+ Jawa and Yezdi motorcycles on the streets of Bangalore which have been completely restored by passionate mechanics. These include some rare imported Jawa Peraks, CZetas and 350 Jawa Twins.

To register, participants can call Lokesh JM – 9880033994 or Amrit Appaiah – 9880105455 for more details or can visit our Facebook group – Bangalore Jawa Yezdi Motorcycle Club

These bikes made a mark in Indian Automotive history as an exotic piece of machinery and were known for their reliability and low maintenance costs. They were last manufactured at the Ideal Jawa factory in Mysore before the company went bankrupt in 1996. But passionate Jawa Yezdi lovers have rallied round to revive the former glory of the few surviving bikes and the International Jawa Yezdi Day provides them the perfect platform.

6th International Jawa Yezdi Biker Meet concluded

The reason this blog is up here today is cos of this amazing event which happened on the 13th of July in Bangalore.

Since i own one of them rare Jawa's in the city, i got to be a part of this recently concluded bikers meet in Bangalore.. Actually, i did help organise the event too :o) and needless to say it was a huge success.



We started plannin for this meet and a ride to Channapatna Town (Coffee Day) a month before the event date (on the 13th of July) to commemorate the 6th International Jawa Yezdi Biker's Day. So the 4-5 of us met up a few times, exchange of mails took place, poster n t-shirt designs were finalized and we were ready to go. Expecting about 30 - 40 bikes to participate in this rally, we were stunned to see a turnout of over 120 bikes at Cubbon Park on the 13th morning. It was utter chaos as we ran out of parking space for these bikes and people trying to click snaps and checking out their competition. The media were there too tryin to get bites from riders and us the organizers.

However, the star attractions for the day were a 79 yr old lady Maya Krishnamurthy riding her 64 model Jawa and a unique bike called the C-Zeta which was a special test model manufactured at the Ideal Jawa factory in Mysore. Only 3 of them were manufactured and we got to see one of them.

Muliple National Rally Champion Jagat Nanjappa flagged off the rally at 8.15am post which the bikers in a convoy went around the city before heading out towards Mysore rd on the Sirsi Circle flyover. We had another brief stopover outside the city for some more media interactions and photo sessions before continuing towards Channapatna on Mysore rd.

The whole distance of (150kms) 75kms towards and 75kms back was truly amazing with the entire stretch packed with these old beauties and the unique thud thud sound these bikes generate. Some cops en route stopped us to find out what the whole commotion was about.
