We Catch Up With Mumbai’s RD350 Club
-
Who are we?
We are no longer ‘the’ RD club, but yes, we are one of the oldest Yamaha RD350 clubs in India. We are a group of people who own and ride the iconic Yamaha which was launched in India under the Rajdoot marque. Our bikes are not just ‘trophy’ motorcycles, but are ridden daily on the road, on the track and every place an RD can possibly go.
The first get-together of the club members was as far back as 1998, giving birth to the ‘Mumbai Pistons’ which, with changing times, limited itself to an internet forum for discussions and the like. Between 2005 and 2008, the club witnessed a drop in enthusiasm despite the weekly meets in Mumbai.

HISTORY CHANNEL
When I'm around old motorcycles, I often find myself wondering what it must've been like to be born in an earlier time. Wondering, mind you, not wishing. I wonder what it was like when mankind invented the motorcycle. I wouldn't want to get anywhere near the first motorcycle, the Daimler Reitwagen (the word means 'riding car', stupidly enough), made by German inventors Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in 1885. To quote Melissa Holbrook Pierson, 'The first motorcycle looks like an instrument of torture.' And something that might cause an explosion uncomfortably close to one's nether regions. Right after it's shaken loose every healed bone in one's body.
