Karma !

I haven't blogged in a couple of months. Was busy with what i wanted to be a Christmas surprise! 
Mid November saw a scrapped 1980 Yezdi fall into my lap quite by happenstance. Yes, it has to do with how i named her, No, im not getting into that story on a public forum. I wasn't prepared for another bike much less another build so you can emphathize with me when i say the last month has been quite a blur.
Yes! It has been only a month! A month of hunting for spares and long nights in the garage, not to mention a month of long hot showers to conquer smelling like grease or paint before getting to work.
I didn't want to build another classic as i already did that with my Jawa, and I didn't want it to have the same color of any of my existing bikes so that helped narrow down the options. A rough street bike look in Red and Matt Black it was! 

When i finally got to road test her yesterday, i was amazed at the power this 36 year old 2 stroke 250cc engine still churned out! And needless to say got quite a few heads to turn with the beat from the pipes and the finish of a brand new bike.

So ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, I present to you, the rebirth of "Karma".
