[Marko]

Hi, i'm Mark and I thought i'd introduce myself here. I have 2 enfield one a Model G the other being a 1960 Constellation. Some of the members on here going by their "nicknames" seem familiar and i'm sure i've met them in other places/groups when they have helped me with advice etc regarding the Constellation. Just one thing: I have 30 years of Triumph Twin ownership working against me so you'll have to forgive me or take a pinch of salt if some of my questions seem downright daft at times

All the best, Mark

Welcome, Mark (O). Only one rule: Don't Ask About Oil.

REgards, Mark

Mark hi, Oil? Oh no, nothing will make me run away quicker than an oil thread

[Wayne]

What part of the country do you hail from Marko? and welcome !

Marko, What is your oil-thread? I think mine's a Whitworth but I know everyone will chip in and give an opinion...

Seriously, welcome and Enjoy it all! Best wishes,
Chris (Two 500cc Bullets, one with a chair)

Wayne "I be from Gloucester" & Chris as long as a thread has something to do with doing/undoing a nut or a screw i'm fine whenever a "thread"/post/topic has anything to do with oil I just run away

Well I do love a good oil thread myself. I find that with all oil threads there are known knowns. There are things we know that we know about oil. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we now know we don't know about oil. But there are also oily unknown unknowns. But there are things we do not know we don't know about oil - and sometimes grease as well. (With thanks to Donald).

Seriously welcome to the tribe and you will usually get very good advice here (even about oil). I too was a long term Triumph owner (both modern and classic) but after a gap without any bike ownership I also am now a RE owner - a 1965 Continental GT.

Hope you get the head gasket problem successfully fixed soon.
