4500 miles on Royal Enfields.

Three of my friends rode there R.E. bikes 4500 miles last year.
The write up about the trip is the best read i have ever had. It's very funny.
Be warned, it will take a long time to read but is well worth it.
I will be riding with them on sunday to Sammy Millers museum if you would like to meet them. [ 20th April ]


THE ENFIELD STRIKES BACK

Re: 4500 miles on Royal Enfields.

That looks like a great write up Dave - I'll leave it till tonight so I can take my time over it



I read that smoking weed destroys your brain cells - so I gave up reading

Re: 4500 miles on Royal Enfields.

I love the enfield bullets, I have a 500 clubman but rode a standard 350 around southern India with Blazing trails this april, 2000 miles in 40 degrees over crumbling roads. wonderful stuff and what a way to get to know a machine. Ill do some installments and pics when I have some time.

Re: 4500 miles on Royal Enfields.

Hi, There is a Diesel Rally on this weekend. 30/31 May.
Some of my mates are going there.
The diesel bike you saw in Bristol may be Henrys as he builds them for sale.
Look up Priceparts.
