Re: Bike mad people?
My husband has just bought himself a Royal Enfield, in military green. He picked it up this morning. It is really very nice. So the Harley and the Hyosung have to go and my ninja is gonna go now too, we will probably advertise them early next year now though.

As for a YPVS, Elsie, GPZ or H1/H2 that would be a fixer upper 80's throw back not a daily rider and I don't exspect to ride without a tweak here and there, after restoration that is

Re: Bike mad people?
It's a 2014 Indian one, so it's got electric and kick starts and all the modern gumpfh on old styling. Hopefully will be reliable, it's only got 4k on it.
I lied it's a 2013

Re: Bike mad people?
I used to help the dealer in Blackpool when the first Indian Enfields arrived in the UK. They needed special oil back then not regular oil, it may have been synthetic but I can't remember I just helped to unpack them from crates in my lunch hours, or two. I would get free MOT's for helping George at the Yamaha Enfield dealership. Was nice just being able to help to be honest

Re: Bike mad people?
I am braving the city on 2 wheels now, granted I don't think it goes above 40 km/h...
It's just an old scooter, cheap to run, was cheap to obtain (free) and does the job I need done which is cheaply getting me to/from work.
