Why restore my old Motorcycle?

I bought this motorcycle (Yami/Red) in 2003. It was my first motorcycle. It was just under INR 50K. It was my first big buy and a loan. I purchased many things after this, but nothing came close. Nothing has given me the sense of freedom I could get from Yami.

We agreed as soon as we knew it had 40 hair pin curves. This time we didn’t have time to do any planning.

Three bikes and three men set to reach kanyakumari from Bangalore. On the way to Madhurai. I saw this beautiful hill. Captured this with my K750i before my co-riders reached me.
