Reversing the clock to run from childhood days is not possible but getting the childhood days dream to reality, yeah thats what happen to my last weekend. I finally got my GTS on to my hand.
It been a week since I spotted my Rajdoot GTS bike, ever since I was in constant touch with the person who sold it to me for making sure that the bike has not been offered to anyone. Last friday my trip to my home town is only with the final dream of owning the GTS. Saturday morning I have caught a bus that was going from my hometown to Vellor (thats where I got my Bobby). I reached the place just in the forenoon, even before buying the bike the ex-owner told me that the bike's carburator is Pacco one the same is been used in Yezdi motorcyles. He told me that the ideling screw in teh carburator was gone missing and he couldn't source one too. Along with that he also told me there is not key even thought the ignition assy is present on the headlight dome.You know what, I had spare keys and idling screws on my bag when I landed at the venue. The ex-owner was stunned to see the tiny items when i pulled it out from the pant pocket. In about few minutes we have fixed the screw and instered the key. The fuel tank was empty but some one poured water in it. So I had to clean before fueling the bike.

I pushed the bike to petrol pump and loaded four liters of petrol with 100ml 2T oil. While trying to close the tank lid, it got broken into two piece, there you go the first age showing factor happened. I happily got the bike started just with the temporary lid from the broken pieces. There you go I had to under go second issue now within a kilometer after fueling the bike. The rear trye's tube valve got burst.

Phew, I was left with the Bobby bike on the pavement of the road.

Oh boy, I called the mechanic to get the tube fixed, After removing the rear wheel he took me to a automobile shop.
We went to a automobile shop to buy a tube and I got the fuel tank like and few tool that are necessary. I didn't forget to take a spare spark plug.We got the tyre fixed with a new tube, though we were required to visit a tyre work shop for the same, but it was quick action.

Wow we could fix the fuel tank lid while my mehcanic refixed the wheel. To my bad luck the bike was flooding a lot, we got the carburetor opened and found lots of water in it which would have been flown from the unused tank. This time the bike failed to start even after couple of kicks The mechanic opened the spark plug and found it has been already worn out, hurray my new spark plug immediately came into action. That was the last thing I did for the bike then I drove it to my hometown which was around 100kms from Vellor. On the way back to home collected a brand new chain for GTS.

I must say, no other bike in the country would have gained such an attention like GTS. WoW in a moment I became the hero in Bobby movie, though there is no short skirt, fine legs dimple on my rear seat I did see the bike taking eyes of approaching people.

I was driving though the country side roads and each and every one, some places I did noticed some people lost their concentration on their activities and started looking at the bike. Kinds pointed fingers, Yelders remembered Dimple I guess, Youth was envying me, Girls were laughing, Some were simling, Mechanics enroutes wanted to stop and ask me more about the find and in fact a forigner wanted to take picture of my bike too.

I never tought GTS would have receive such a reception on the road, almost after 2 decades the people in my home town witnessed this bike. I'm sure the youth would have not seen this bike in their lifetime and started asking me if I did modify some other bike to look like this small. I remember another guy asking me if I modify a bike to teach my kids how to ride motocycle.

It was a great experience and I completely enjoyed my 1st Rajdoot GTS driving experience.When reached home My kids felt the same as me in my childhood, they said to me that this is their bike.

Finding Rajdoot GTS

I've got a call from my friend, who is a mechanic by profession well known about my search for a Rajdoot GTS. He was very well aware of my 1000 odd kms of road search for the Rajdoot GTS. Yes, I traveled more than 1000 kms just to find my Rajdoot GTS without any luck.

Those who got a GTS either don't wanted to sell or no legal papers availed. The pending tax and insurace is next story but registration papers are not available for many of the living small boys.

My friend's call was about a availability of GTS, he asked me to drive 350kms from chennai just to inspect the bobby bike. I have no 2nd thought but there was a quarrel at the family knowning my travel plan for GTS. Who cares, after all it is my dream! I live for it.

My day long travel in the boiling summer on my jeep finally turned out to be lucky to me showing the GTS of my dream. Though the bike had few alterations including tank that got fully melted or lost impression of GTS and the stepney. Otherwise most of them were looking ok. Oh yeah carburattor was gone missing but I had no worry. That instant I myself said I'm an owner of Rajdoot GTS.

I'm presenting my future GTS in here:
Finding GTS is over, but the misisng parts ? A call away I found few things including a OE Carburattor from Mickarb, Escorts mudflaps and rectifier.
I hope the readers remember my previous post about my parts collection for GTS, so I have no much pain at this point as many as required parts are already with me in my stock.

Except the following items, and I would request my blog visitors to ping me as soon as knowning about the following parts:

• Tank shield
• Tank Monogram
• Tank Lid
• Tank pads
• Side Shield Monogram
• Tail light

I would appreciate a lot if someone can get me a full tank with complete fittings itself.

Head reached - Rajdoot GTS

Since, I'm following a Rajdoot GTS deal and know the condition of the bike, I started the collection of parts that are missing in my future bike. The first thing that worried me is the head light dome and speedo.

Lucky I am, got it is so easily. Here is the Rajdoot GTS head light dome the HEAD. (Good sign as heading towards the restoration project)

Though this headlight dome is not parted from a Rajdoot GTS, it is actually from GTS brother Rajdoot 175CC bike's headlight dome. Both the bikes share the same engine and some body components.

This page is dedicated to all the Rajdoot GTS bike lovers.

on my child hood days(I was 7year old by then) I always admired a bike thinking that it was made for kids like me. It was small and cute. There used to a bike parked outside a house on the way to my school. I used to walk to my School during my entire school days, Hence almost everyday I stare at the bike which took my attraction. It was none other than the Rajdoot GTS.

It was a strong image registered in my mind, I still remember that bike had a golden brown color. Now I'm running 30 years and only today I got a chance to sit on the small bike. Only in the recent past after I complete my RD350 and Jeep restoration, I decided to own a Rajdoot GTS.

Since then I came to know how difficult to source the small bike. There is a huge demand for this bike which is the first obstacle to my dream. Secondly even if someone has either they quote high price or papers are not current.

Most of the bikes are not complete, so my decision to pickup one crying for restoration and do it myself.

I visited so many places looking for a Rajdoot GTS. Found some but they were not on sale. Noted the bikes for reference as I may required during my restoration project.

The Pondicherry Rajdoot GTS, though they were on crying condition but the owners doesn't wanted to sell.




Chennai Rajdoot GTS came with sale board but higher on the price and poor on the condition

Some from my home town, hmmmm still not heard the whereabouts. I only keep hearing that there is one.. I hope it was the same bike I saw during my school days.

Finally came across one on the internet, though the bike is not in working condition, I heard it is full and with few missing parts. Current I own no picture but sure to upload the picture as and when I receive them.

What I have decided today is to start collecting the parts for my future Rajdoot GTS restoration project. Here is the picture of my single day purchase.
I'm looking for the headlight dome, Tank rubber, Tank's Rajdoot monogram and a Tail light as essentials at this point.
