BTW, 'didnt know you acquired a Priya! Congrats! Is it the chocolate one you once photo'd?

Thanks Shyam, I wish I could own it honestly it is slipped from my purview, don't know where that scooter is now as I don't see it in the colony and moreover the owner is also a very elderly person, wish and hope he is hale and healthy. Praying to god that I meet him sometime and will make sure it comes to me. I will consider myself lucky. The one I acquired is also good, healthy body, shape is also good since it was sparingly used it has all the potential to become a pretty scooter. I am planning to get it white color.

Chanu's efforts have paid off very well.
Hearty congratulations for restoring the wasp to such a pristine level.
Hope you procured a matching retro helmet too. Ride Safe.

All the best since you've got the best. I like the pic with the wooden reaper background, have good fun with the Italian lady.

Saleem,

Scooter looks great. Mine is almost ready to rock too! By the way, I saw you riding it this past week on Jayamahal Rd -- you cut through the lane at the petrol pump!

What type of tires did you end up using (CEAT or MRF's)? Any recollection on price?

Thanks,
Nikhil

Thanks Ram anna, I always had confidence in the restorations I took up, I dream the out come before it is in real . This time this scooter even astonished me

Time to put the next projects to action.

Hi Nikhil,

Coming to the tyres they are the old ones, i have to replace new since its not a daily drive will replace later as of now have got a set of white wall inserts on them just to enhance the look.

No worries. You were zipping through the petrol bunk and I was going the other direction. If I see you again, I'll definitely stop you!
