An old Malayalam proverb came true!

cheetahrd · 4th November 2019, 17:26

There is an old malayalam proverb (From Kerala) which says if you fail on the first attempt, you will succeed on the third one.. it came true in many life experiences including the team-bhp registration. After 2 unsuccessful attempts, here we are.

I'm from Trivandrum. An IT guy who has been following team-bhp for almost a decade.

Thanking all moderators and fellow Team-bhpians on keeping this site active and for all the interesting threads, discussions, technical advices, reviews and many more.

Thank you Kraken. I forgot to add ownership experiences and original post could not be edited by the time i came back.

My riding experience started with Dad's LML infact learned riding in the same. I got to ride my friend's RX during school time and got the first thrilling experience. College days went by drooling over Yamaha RD350 and RX 100's. Fast forward to After getting employed, i bought my first motor bike Yamaha RX 135. after few years, bought a HT Yamaha RD 350 which still gives me panic attacks.

First car owned was a Maruti 800, then a Honda Amaze idtec. Honda is the daily car for Work purpose. I like Amaze for my family drives. Owned a yamaha RD125LC for a brief time and sold it off recently. RD125LC was a cool small bike with nice top end, initials pick up is sluggish. Latest addition to the family is Mercedes Benz W123 for which i have visited team-bhp 'n' number of times reading reviews, restoration projects, discussions etc..

Welcome to Team-BHP cheetahrd!

Wow, it seems you love your classics.

A W123 and RD 350 make up an interesting garage. I hope you haven't sold your RX 135 though.

Cheers!

Thank you TusharK.

I have not sold my RX135. I have emotional attachments to all vehicles I own. Since RX135 was the first vehicle I purchased, it holds a special value in my heart.

Hello from the other side (of Kerala!). Welcome to forum! Nice collection you got there! Do post some pics of your beauties. The W123 truly is a hell of a looker!

Thank you GeneralJazz, tikku.dk and sarathlal.

My W123 came back after some TLC and minor painting last month. I have procured suspension parts for restoration and planning to start soon.

I shall start a thread once the restoration starts.

Thanks Again.
