Cool video of the plant in India. Be sure to watch the pin striping, blew me away. thumbs

Cool bikes. I always wanted one of these.

Can you imagine how much on of those pin stripers could make at a car or bike show at the pace they are working?

Wonderful looking Bikes. Ive never seen one in person but I like the standard riding style and the British single and twin cyl designs. When the engine is the centerpiece of the bike its hard to beat that old inline Triumph, Norton, BSA (and XS650) look.


Keep old mopars alive.

I like the looks of them. Sold my smaller Triumph, as I moved up to a 1600 Thunderbird. The Enfield would be a good local rider replacement. Good looking and not expensive. My other Brit-bikes have been trouble free.

Also have an interest in the Zero electric.

they are selling like mad at the local dealer.


It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Its about $6000 for a 650 cc twin.

Its on my short list of shifter bikes. For the same price range I can get a 300-450cc bike.
Not commuting in stop and stop again traffic on the I-405 I can go back to a shifter. My Suzuki 650 scooter is automatic so my left hand did not have to pull in the clutch.
