G wizz

First real run out on the G. Last week was a quick few miles to check it out. Sunday was 96 miles around the Lancashire countryside. The bike performed perfectly, besides the brakes, which are dreadful. Hitchcocks must supply better shoes.
Met three other Enfield riders, two on Indian models and one on a mid 60’s bullet with a diesel engine installed. Why? I didn’t ask.
There are a few drips but I’ll sort that out. More bath sealer needed on the chain case seal.
It’s not a race horse but I didn’t expect it to be, plus with those brakes (or lack of them) I wouldn’t want it to be. It is what it is a solid plodder and I really like it.
Picture below taken outside the Hop Vine pub Burscough, It has it’s own I house brewery and produces some fantastic beers. The two bikes accompanying me are a 1955 250cc Adler and a 1967 C200 Honda 90cc. You can’t accuse any of us of being cc snobs, just as much fun can be had on small slow bikes as can on big fast bikes (we do all have bigger faster bikes though). The G was faster than the Honda and I’m running in. RESULT!
Sorry couldn't upload the picture, any suggestions.
