Hello BHPians!

Hello All,

Thanks to the Mods who approved my membership.

Happy to be part of the ‘cherry picked’ enthusiast team here.

Thought i would do an 'About me', being a newbie here.

Currently living in England, working as an automotive Engineer in one of the greatest OEM's owned by an Indian company..
My Native place is Alleppey, Kerala.

Been an enthusiast from when i can remember..
My first bike was a 1986 RX100, which my dad used to use. From then i had this this addiction toward automotive, particularly 1980's bikes and cars. '80s seem to be the lucky year for good creations, after which the 'tree huggers' started restricting high performance vehicles on the road.

Lucky to be where i am now to be honest, got chance to own & try few nice cars/bike till now (1980 mk2 VW Golf GTi 16v, 2000 Audi B5 S4 2.7 BiTurbo, 1989 Porsche 944 s2, 1999 Honda hornet 600, 2000 Kawasaki Ninja 629 ) .. But still miss riding in Blore where i spend a good part of my life.

Always interested in Indian motoring scene. Recently picked up 1985 Rd350 HT in India, getting it up to 'my spec' at the moment..
Looking for a classic four wheel to cater my family .

I am up for unbiased/healthy, automotive/motoring discussions and big fan of DIY, restoration.

See you around fellows.

Drive/Ride Safe.

Pretty much every thing you are interested in is there in abundance on this forum. And the best part, new one keeps coming up every day!

Welcome ! Do pen down your ownership experiences of some of the machines you own or have owned.

Hi autodoctor,

Welcome to Team-BHP. That's a pretty good list of cars and bikes you have owned. I'm looking forward to a restoration and review thread on the RD 350.

Trust you have familiarised yourself with the posting rules.
