| ![]() Pictures of Indian bikes in Delhi. Julian, I am sure you know who the owner is/was ? These were all " Commercial Restoration ", just painted and spruced up for selling. Julian, need more pictures from your end. What was about Indians & Delhi ? Almost all the Indians have surfaced or taken over to Delhi. I know Kohli & Sharma used to trade in it, but was there any other connection. Need more pictures from your end of various bikes spotted by you during your stay in India. No Gold Stars,Manx ? The first picture is from Mumbai. Julian, is that you in the background in the last picture ?? Just guessing ? Last edited by dominator : 6th September 2008 at 20:18. |

I have already uploaded my photos in posts #11 and #25. The chap in the background in the last photo is Juergen Mattern a friend of mine in Germany who runs "Indian Teile-Dienst" who sell Indian motorcycle spares. Click here: Juergen Mattern's Indian Teile-Dienst Many of the parts are made in India. One last photo taken at the house of Rajan Sharma (in the red jacket) in Karol Bagh New Delhi in 1979, this was his BSA A10 plunger with swing arm conversion from a Honda and a different tank. Next to it is the Ariel 350 that was in the Gandhi film and its owner Andrew Blake an Australian friend who now restores Indians in France. ![]() About that time there were about 4 parts shops in Kashmere Gate motor market who had lots of new old stock spare parts for Indians, (I bought 2 new engines) also crank shafts/bearings sets, distributors, speedometers cams all new original parts. One shop was Motor Cycle House and Motor Cycle Home (1st floor) both by Minerva cinema, also 2 dealers, a Mr Mehta and Bashir Ahmed both on Hamilton Road who would sell spares and find bikes, as well as the Sharmas. I still have this letter from the Office of the Controller of Exports and Imports from 1980 ![]() Last edited by Julian UK : 6th September 2008 at 23:12. | ||

| ![]() Hello All Nice Thread - lovely pictures. I love old Airheads - would any one of you know of a good Airhead R series for sale ? Used to have BSA's "in the day" but now, sadly, riding a 2nd hand pulsar 150 and hating every moment of it !!! I thought I would use it as a run about - mostly it sits in the garage unused. Its in great shape but just the overall experience is like riding a TVS 50 . B O R I N G .... cheers |
