Hi BINARY-----yeah, I know where you're coming from...Been there, done that, sold the bike !!......But then, after a while I missed that every-ride challenge of Bullet ownership, those jokes from the recovery man, the bulging tool kit, being first away from the Cafe' and last to arrive at the next !!.......so I bought this current Bullet '65 which seems to be ok so far... Back in the Summer of 1966 I bought a Honda CB160 and never looked back !!..........Over in "Bikes for Sale" is my Honda XBR500 which you're welcome to buy-----just a small matter of Logistics separating us by half a world...Ah well, no matter....

I was about to say}---"As one door closes, another will open" which put me in mind of The Doors and an Enfield related song entitled---"Riders on the Storm" so put your spanners down for 5 mins...put your stereo on MAX and enjoy a classic of its' time}-------------------

Just watched "The Wild One" again with all those great old motorcycles in it, and after I decided to give my old 1964 Royal Enfield another try. I have now ditched the old original motor with its rattled out cam spindle and it sits forlorn in a corner of my garage. I have been building up a year 2000 iron barrel motor from Hitchcock's and as soon as the crank comes back from the engineers I will be fitting that and hoping my troubles will all be over. I will then have a 1964 RE with a 2000 motor and a 2003 5 speed gearbox. I do not think that there is a nicer looking motorcycle than the early model Royal Enfield's with the plus that I still get the cheaper "special interest", registration here on a motorcycle that is over 30 years old but now has a modern motor and gearbox fitted.
