Learned how to ride on Bajaj Chetak. Any one remember this one?

chetak was my first two wheeler and i even know how to overhaul the entire engine inclueding its magneto and gearbox

I think i probably rode ever vehicle out there. man i am old

The old ones like Red Indian bikes which had handle gear?
We see some collectors of old bikes in Hyderabad

I hated the chetak , ever time you wanted to start it you had to lean the bike over to the right . vespas were much better in those days.

bajaj 150/ priya / vespa(priya and vespa 125cc) were actualli one and the same thing (3 gears)while super and chetak were 4 gears

best thing about yezdi was its incredible torque just keep it in the juice mode 3500-4000 Rpm and it acclarated like a frieght train

Wonderful post!! I have driven geared scooters, both Bajaj & Vespa, Vespa had better appeal among youngsters, Vespa also had better balance. I never got a chance to try Lamby though.

And how many here know about Yezdi and Rajdoot bikes? They were also popular along with Royal Enfield. And then came the era of Hero Honda and Yamaha 100 cc bikes. Bajaj had another gem, the great M80!! How many remember that little workhorse?

Those were the days, people were really happy with little, things have changed so much now.

I still have a JAWA parked in my garage in Chennai...has not been used from 1994..the year I left for the states....This december I will try to restore it when I visit...That was one awesome bike.
