Thanks Scaley. That moron has just raised my blood pressure with his total lack of mechanical sympathy..

What plonker would sit there directing a pressure washer into the bikes electrics and then finish by throwing a bucket of water over the headlamp switchgear.

Better to spend time fixing the broken speedo or maybe taking the 1/4" of slack out of that clutch lever..

Riding over rough ground with standard suspension i can imagine what that dry/poorly tensioned chain is doing to the sprocket teeth..

Good job he enjoys drinking coffee and watching sunsets because there will be a lot of that whilst waiting for the breakdown walla to turn up..

Some people need a clip around the ear and a reality check.. Sorry rant over, better for that...

Well, I probably wouldn't do that to an iron bullet, but my EFI gets pressure washed, best way to get the mud from under the mudguards.



If you bike's a bit iffy, then don't take it out in the rain!



I know Guillame, the Paris bike specialist and RE dealer and he has no problem with doing the same (see film below)

Well what do you expect, they are made by people that love their Enfields!



It sure beats that Swedish one we had the other day!
