It begins!

For those of you who have no clue(or don't give a shit),My name is Abhishek Mishra.I'm Delhi(sigh...) based and love going against the system.First instance was college.Second instance was the family car.Third instance is gonna be the 350.Yup.The awe inspiring,make-4joke-melt-into-the-shadows Yamaha 350.I'm not going to get into the finer points of history with this machine.For that you have en.wikipedia.org .I'm not tech savvy,i'm so NOT a stunter or one of those people who dedicate their lives to speed
(and possiby broken bones,stitches and hilbilly teeth).I love this bike.It's ugly(by todays standards),drinks gas at the rate of some russian breakaway state,but sounds,smells and moves wonderfully for a 24 year old.That was until I found out what was on the inside after selling blood to pay for it.
Rules to follow in delhi for the 350:
1)You're your best mechanic.Besides,if you screw up,it's your fault.
2)Don't ever buy parts from Delhi.
3)There are lot's of mechs who say the cdi is shit and the points system is the best for better "tork".Ignore.If you have the money,track down Rohinton Dara Chinoy.India's best 2 stroke builder and Tuner.His cdi kit IS the shit.Plus he does a very nice line in hop-up parts(cars,bikes,tanks,planes,hell maybe even a super tanker if he got his hands on one).His website is www.rddreams.com .Signup.It's worth every data bit you use.
4)Don't open your mouth while the mech is trying to fix your bike.A a blank stare will result in some discomfort,but can get you amazing results.Let him do all the talking and just nod.Don't get anything changed.He'll crack pretty soon after that.
5)If you're on a "stock" trip,you shouldn't be here.I'm not talking about standard cylinders,points,indicators and all the other crap most people are so focussed on.If you like "stock",please visit Joga Motors in Karol Bagh.Me and my friends pay money to see how the bike runs.
6)No,I don't broker or sell the damn things.I can direct you to who does with numbers.If the deal goes south and you call me up,thinking i have some responsibility/part in deal,you can sod off.

I spent something on the highside of 60k on it.the reason I say something is because I was a little woozy after selling that last pint of blood.
What did i get?
An engine that can't last more than 5000 kms without blowing up.The right side piston always fragged.
A weak ignition system(faulty base plate) that would make it jerk like a bronco.
Rust in my filters(the guy who built it forgot to mention that the tank was on the way out)
Flower all tyres after I paid this guy twice for them.So I bought a michelin m 45 from BK tyres in Lajpat nagar.Nice guy.
Crank was shot.Paid for a new crank and got the old crank with "new" rods(oversized pins).This is a bad thing.
Cam was on the way out,so had to buy local,because I didn't know any better.
Suspension was shot.New rods,fake seals and super soft rear shocks were a revalation after the stiffly sprung Karizma.
No paperwork.
So what am I doing?Selling a kidney for getting this monkey sorted.By kidney I mean sacrificing waking hours for overtime,no booze and smoking shitty little gold flakes.My estimate?82,000 and counting.
Why,you ask me?well,let's look at it this way.I'm 25,hate my job,my parents are independent of me,I have no woman(and i'm happy with all the porno i get),bigoted,prejudiced,paranoid and prefer spending my money on completely illogical things,such as this bike.Doesn't sound convincing,but hey,this is how it is.
So,what's next?
I have no flowering clue.It's a flower-all world with selfish,dishonest,capitalistic flowering people who's primary objective is subterfuge.First on the list is getting papers sorted.2nd on the list is pack everything in a crate and gati the thing down south.Then waiting for Ron to work his magic(and possibly my kidney) and get this flower-all piece of crap to flowering behave.
Will keep you,my loving audience updated.
