7th International Jawa Yezdi Day Celebrations coming up at Sri Kanteerva Indoor Stadium

Its finally here.. the day that we all have been looking forward to and getting our bikes ready to show off. It is the 7th International Jawa-Yezdi Day celebrations and for the second year in a row, the Bangalore Jawa Yezdi Motorcycle Club is organising a get together for all Jawa Yezdi bike owners on the 12th of July. The venue for this get together is Sri Kanteerva Indoor Stadium which is in the heart of the city.

Request you all to spread the word among your friends who own these rare beauties to start polising them and get them in proper running condition before this big day. After a brief get together we will be riding out to Channapatna Coffee Day which is a good 75kms from the city.

Assembly & registration will be from 7.00 am to 8.15am and a formal flag off will happen at 8.30am sharp. The route will be similar to that of last year - Kanteerva Indoor Stadium - Kasturba Rd - MG Rd - Brigade Rd - Richmond Circle Flyover – Mission Rd - JC Rd –Town Hall – City Market Fly over – Mysore Road – Channapatna Coffee Day & Back

Another request to all the owners of such bikes is to have all the bike papers in place including emission clearance certificate and proper helmet for the rider.

Special Jawa Day T-shirts and bike stickers will be available for sale on or before the ride day. So keep a look out for the registration desk at the venue.
Look forward to seeing you all in full force and exceed our last year's turn over record of 120 bikes.

Ride to Kanwa Reservior

Its been a while since we've updated this blog but going forward you will get regular updates on the rides and events happening at the club.

Had been a while since the biker boys met and rode together so a ride to the not so popular Kanwa Reservoir was planned on one misty sunday morning during the last week of May.
As usual, we all assembled at the Rajarajeshwari Arch at 6.30am and after a short chat and exchange of greetings about 30 bikes headed out on Mysore rd towards Channapatna. After about an hour of continuous riding we reached Kamat Lokaruchi restaurant but didn't stop there. We wanted to reach our destination first so continued beyond for another 3 kms till we reached the arch on the right side which said Ramanjenaya Temple which is quite popular among the locals.

There is a small lane beside this arch which is a dirt road and after about 8kms of dirt riding we reached the scenic yet peaceful reservoir. There is some construction work underway hence we had to go beyond and take the back side rd to get on top of the reservoir. We soon gathered all our bikes and parked in order for our traditional photoshoot. Unfortunately, my bike had a small puncture and the rough terrain had taken its toll on the rear tyre which was completely flat by the time we reached this lake.
After all the bikers had gathered, some with their family members including small children, we had a round of photoshoot and brief discussion about the upcoming Annual International Jawa Yezdi Day celebrations. One enthuiastic oldtimer came prepared with notes on how to form the club formally with a lot of do's and don'ts which he share with all of us. We all went around appreciating some rare beauties and exchanged notes on spares and cues on modifiyin the latter models.
By 10.30 our tummies began to grumble and it was time to head back for breakfast but i on the otherhand had a task to complete before i could think of food. So with the help of a few bikers i quickly dismanteled the rear tyre and we were on our way back to the highway to get my tyre fixed. Within minutes we were back at Kamat Lokaruchi for a sumptious breakfast and exchanging notes on our bikes. With fully bellies we were read to head back and Amrit on his Yezdi Monach was kind enough to take me back to the resorvior to fix my bike.

Soon we were back on the road towards Bangalore with the sun god being kind to us and providing shade all thru. Guess we all reached the city by 1 pm and parted our respective ways with memories of yet another successful ride on our good old classic beauties.
Those of you who were part of this ride, do share your comments and hope to see you all for the next ride in June.
