The 16th International Jawa Day celebrations will be held in Bangalore on July 8, 2018.



The Bangalore Jawa Yezdi Motorcycle Club (BJYMC) has been organizing the event since 2007. This year, it will be held at the St. Joseph's Indian High School Grounds. About 500 bikes and over 1,000 participants are expected to attend the event.



It is claimed to be the largest gathering of Jawa, Yezdi and CZ bikes that have long gone out of production. The main highlight will be classic models like the 50cc Colt, 125cc Perak and the 350cc twins. Auto journalist Adil Jal Darukhanawala and Chennai racers Sohail Sarooshi, Ashok Krishnan and Ravi Thirumalai have been invited as special guests.

The International Jawa Yezdi Day is celebrated all over the world every year on the second Sunday of July.

If someone here is planning to visit, it is better to park at Kanteerava stadium and proceed to the venue.

Also the Konark restaurant in Kanteerava is good and a VFM breakfast joint in the area.

Took part in the meet today with FM SandeepMohan's 350 Twin.
The bike was lying idle for more than a year. Firing it up took a while, but after cleaning the bike and pumping air into the tyres, it felt like it was being daily used.

There were around 200-250 bikes or even more. Majority were Roadkings and the least were 350 twins. There was a 250 twin as well along with some rare bikes.
Sadly there was no ride, probably to avoid noise and pollution.

Nice pics Tharian - 250 is quite a large and significant number. Was there any presence / participation from Mahindra considering they are planning to re-launch Jawa / Yezdi. This would have been a perfect platform to announce their launch and even some kind of support to the Yezdi / Jawa owners.

No sign of Mahindra. There was instead a small Hyundai stall displaying the new Creta.

Some more pictures.

Attended the meet today with avinashsg and his Classic D250.
Met unk9ja and rksans too who had come with their Jawas
Had some other appointments planned so was there only for an hour.
Had some wonderfully maintained bikes which took me back to my childhood where I'd sit on the tank of my Uncle's D250.
Adil Darukhanawala was the chief guest today.
A line up of all variants to come out of the Mysore factory, and the bikes lined up in a "YEZDI" formation were the other highlights of the show.

Some pictures in no particular order

Hey Tharian, I missed you in the melee. Myself and hemanth.anand were spectators while avinash_sg had his classic as a part of celebrations.

Here are few pics from my end.

This would not have happened if these 4 gentlemen would not have come together and started the Bangalore Jawa Yezdi Motorcycle Club, BJYMC.

Mods, sorry for the back to back posts. Got the following pictures and I could not resist till something was posted before this.

The last picture is of the people who toiled hard to make it work like a well oiled machinery. Hats off to the excellent work.

The irony! Would suggest tweeting Anand Mahindra. Knowing the quick action he takes, and their enormous support for branding events (e.g. Mahindra Great Escape), he'll definitely be a part of next year's Jawa day. Could help with funds, organisation, increased participation & more activities.

Lovely pictures guys, thanks a ton for them.

Were there any Yezdi 175s brought to this meet? Just wondering if any have survived.
