royal enfield bike

[jeffw]

So this is a Indian Royal Enfield and not an English one?

yes it was jeff but all the indian stuff was binned and hitchcock's stuff fitted,its even been rewired and new switches hence the cost of the parts over 5k

That is a bloody nice machine and I wish I could buy it, but at least I can get some enjoyment from looking at the photo... like many things in life.

Its a great looking bike, minus the oil leaks as well, When I first saw the image I thought,.. that's been made for Russ!!,.. just right for a bit of urban warfare down Brighton, nice one, Paul.

For fans of the Enfield, just finished watching; Timeshift: Full Throttle the Glory Days of British Motorbikes on BBC4, worth a search on iPlayer, you could draw some parallels with some us, any 'Ton Up Boys' out there?
