I have interacted with Dev at tribal cafe. Cool guy he was. Hope he spoke about his "Dosas" (His way of referring to big abrasion wounds)  |

P.S: I had seen your GS 1200 on OChacko's insta page and wondered "what a pristine condition" GS 1200. You sure have been lucky to land up a bike like that. Cherish it! |
Thank you. Oh yes, that was my bike, as much as riding I really enjoy washing and keeping it clean like new , so that someday when I sell the bike I can tell " always babied and never ridden off road !" Quote:
