i really enjoy this site, and having met a number of contributors my enjoyment has increased. As a result I have absolutely no intention of offending anybody and particularly our hosts who so generously allow me to ramble on even thogh I do not have an Enfield. So before I do anything a question. Can I advertise 2 non Enfields for sale here or is that not allowed? I have read the notes below about our hosts core business but it doesn't really answer my question. I promise NOT to be upset or offended if the answer is a big fat NO, and you will all still be invited to MadMikes Gathering in September.

Why Not as Any Bike is better Than Non...Perhaps Mike You Should Bite the Bullet and say "H**** for sale as I have Bought an Enfield" ;0) That should cover It...But I Personaly Like to see any (Real) Motor Bikes for sale ..But Over To Mr H'

hey,MadMike,i'll swap my Enfield for your BSA,then you won't feel guilty about posting on here!

I think it should be an Enfield given that this is an Enfield site hosted by Hitchcocks. That said a lot of folk on here will have other Brit bikes, and in my case a Velocette and Sunbeam, so perhaps you will have an interested audience. I do not, however, think this site should offer up modern bikes and certainly not British bikes for sale. But then again I have Union Jacks sewn into my jackets.

Oops that should have read non-British bikes! I am sure you know what I mean.

The only restriction Mr H puts on the forum is dealing in parts.
Bring 'em on!

As Pete sez, Mr H sells parts and only blocks us from selling our bits here. ...........So Mike, bring 'em on

sorry to break any illusion here but an enfield made in india is not a british bike it is just a replica of a brit bike if its a iron barrelled classic, if its an electra or an efi its a replica styled on a brit bike from the past all that glitters is not always gold now where did i put my rose tinted spectacles atb paul.

Glad you cleared up that hoary old chestnut once again Paul. I get right cheesed off, especially by the north American colonials, that insist on calling their brand spankers Austrian/Indian (and no doubt Chinese)motorcycles with the odd English made replacement part "British" bikes.
