We have had this bike since 1976 (first owner)... my uncles used it, then it was passed down to me, n now my brother has it...

I was so much in love with it that I used to spend hours staring at it, when it was parked in the garage at my nani's place (was not allowed to have it then)...

It has the same sentimental value for me, as spectra's corolla has for him...

I got the bike in 2003 and had it restored in the same year, but then gave it to my bro... He had a few accidents, coupled with jealous neighbours occurrences (white paint was thrown all over the bike’s new shiny black colour), which completely ruined the bike...

It was only after his last accident in Dec '06, when me and my brother decided to have the bike restored once again...

The resto work is almost complete n bhai wud be getting the bike by afternoon today (16.01.2007)...

Here r the pics of the work in process from when i saw it on saturday (13.01.2007)...

Another sentimental project with success. Congratulations buddy. The red colour is looking very original and i am glad you chose not to modify it with anything stupid.

how is the engine getting along?

Very nicely done...I used to have a 1979 CD-200 aka Roadmaster as well. 175,185 & 200 were all more or less the same.
