You mean the instruction manual? Barrel of knowledge that is...





"Except in very cold weather, it will be found that, after
a few moments running at a comfortable speed, the arr lever
can be fully opened and left there for the remainder of the
run. Do not close the air lever to relieve a labouring engme
on a hill, change to a lower gear instead. "

Still don't say which way to move the lever! You can download a pdf copy from Kevin's corner, or buy a real holdable one from our hosts.

There's a bridge in that picture. Can I nick it for
Royal Enfield GB?

[Scalyback]

OH, you posted it there already! Yay!

An original copy of the Instruction Manual came with the bike. I've also downloaded your scanned copy Simon, and I've "remastered" it to an A5 PDF file, which I'll happily email to you or anyone else who wants it.

Is this so you can ride like a pirate?

It was that optical character recognition software, was supposed to be 'air' but I wasn't going to go bother correct all the errors. At least you can text search the PDF.

Out for another pootle yesterday, running much better now that I know which way round the air lever works. Seen here in its natural habitat.

Bracket fashioned and hooter attached. Many thanks to Mark M for the hooter.

An unusual and somewhat short little motorcycle, but what an experience to ride...



It may seem almost like a 'toy bike' at first, but have you noticed yet, how it tries it's best to please? That is when I realised how strangely special it is. Kevin is not a powerhouse, but for a smooth ride at a sensible speed, he is very good giving the required results. less power than my 500 bullet Tornado, but at the same time, better at touring.

Got a slightly unexpected trip to Cardiff (from near Berwick upon Tweed) starting tomorrow, and my Yamaha TDM is still in the mender's. So the MM is about to be tested on a 4-day, 900 mile round trip. I guess I'll know how well it does touring by the end. Wish me luck!


It is small -- smaller than my 350 Bullet -- but the riding position is comfortable, even if the foam padding isn't. I agree it feels "eager to go", and is very happy trundling along at 55-60 mph. The misfire seemed to clear itself while I was out riding this afternoon, so maybe is was the carburettor being washed clean. It's got some new points as well, which could have helped.
