Hi does anyone know of a bike dealer etc who does repairs and servicing on Indian Royal Enfields In the Mansfield Notts area? The nearest the dealer finder shows up is about 60 miles away!Up to 20 miles is ok but 60 is a bit far!

You could try Manhattan Motorcycles in Heeley, Sheffield. Paul, the owner used to be the head mechanic at Wilf Greens, when he was the Enfield importer at Halfway, in Sheffield. I bought my first new Bullet from Wilfs place in '92.

By the way, I now live in Church Warsop and have my fourth Enfield, a 2003 Sixty 5.

The Notts (Central) Area seems to be a Cultral Desart as far as RE go's, Though I too bought my 1st Enfield From Wilf Green in 1993 and I am on Forth enfield (Though I still have My 98 350 aswell)...But If You Do hear of A "Good Place" Let us Lnow as I am getting to old to lye on the concreat all the while (Working Outside) :0)..Cheers all

You blokes think you have it tough there is only a couple of places in the whole of Australia that will work on Enfields once they are out of warranty

Thanks guys if I come across anyone I will put it on here!Hi Nettshubby Thats a real coincidence!A couple of weeks ago I bought my first Bullet Believe it or not a 2003 Sixty 5 which has done about 2500 miles I am currently checking the bike over and learning as I go Also painting under the mud guards which have a bit of surface rust etc on an otherwise great looking bike Next I think are new tires K70s I think sound good the ones on seem ok but I think are original and its probably sensible to change them!

Hiya. If its just a basic service you require i could look at it for you. I live in chesterfield. I am not a certified technician but i service all my own bikes. Ed

Hi Grumps! By the way, that's another coincidence, I too am known amongst friends and family as Grumpy. I even have the Disney Seven Dwarves Grumpy T shirt to prove it!. A run out sounds good, weather permitting of course. I am just about to do an oil change, and hopefully get the Boyer ignition fitted, using my hydraulic workbench. (Bad back and knees and 65 years gone by!)
