Introduction

Post by nrbgarda »

Hello to all on this site, I'm new here. I am Naozar R. Garda ( or NRBGarda). Born Dec 1947. I am originally from Bharuch (Gujerat) (Ancestral Home) and Jabalpur, (M.P.). Studied in Jabalpur, then in Naini Tal, then Post Graduate in Calcutta. Worked in Bombay, then Madras, and now have been in Bangalore since 1976. Married, two sons, elder boy interested in bikes (has a Yamaha RX 135, also enjoys riding my Bullet !!!) and is permitted and encouraged, to ride mine !!!! Have worked in General Management, and am currently in the Real Estate profession.
My first bike, one which I still own, is a Rajdoot, 1966 model, probably older than many of you guys here !!! I also own a Royal Enfield Bullet 1974 model, Standard 350 cc. Currently the bike is completely stripped down for a total re-build. I also have a BSA Gold Star, 350 cc, 1956, which is presently in off-road condition, in need of a total rebuild. Some years ago had a Norton Dominator, 500 cc twin, early 1960s model, and made one of the biggest mistakes of my life, which i still regret to this day, and sold the bike. Basically am a fan of the old British bikes, so I don't know how many of you will share my interest because i get the feel that this site is more for the younger crowd with the newer faster Jap bikes..... as i said am new here..... but I hope i am wrong and hope to find like-minded interested guys.
Earlier years did a little motor racing and rallying in a Standard Herald. Still interested in cars and bikes, Music, Jazz and Classical, and reading, mainly non-fiction, Religion, Arts. Not much time nowadays for things other that work and cant access such sites daily, but will keep in touch. Till next time, Cheers !!!!! Naozar R. Garda

welcome aboard and thanks for the good introduction naozar.

many ways to look at this club. almost all like speed :) and dont say there wasnt a time you dint. maybe you still do :)

this is nice place to hang around and learn to fix your bike. get opinions/thoughts on issues related to bikes. or sometimes on marriage or politics :D

we do have many passionate bullet owners on the forum but do expect friendly bullet abusin/ridiculin. this started primarily as an rd community and then evolved into a two stroke community. but you say your son has a rxz' keep mentionin that every now and then and guys will cool off :)
my vote goes for the political party that supports legalization of marijuana. i dont like the alcohol high.
