Michelin Man Rides Again :-)

[TheShaggyDA]

Finally

Picked up the bike today, Enfield 500 Classic, and had a lovely hour and a half ride back in the rain. New waterproofs worked a treat, but need new boots and gloves.

Cockup at the importers meant that instead of the kickstart only model, I've got an electric start for no extra charge. Useful for when I stall at lights

I've had gearing changes made so running in will be 50mph for the first 300, miles, 60 for the next and 70 for the remainder of the 1000 mile period, so I'm going to do that over the next week or so. (that's the plan anyway

Now all I need to do is dig out all my Whitworth spanners

Happy happy, joy joy

Whats it like to ride?

Interesting bike ShaggyDA what made you go for that? How much did it set you back?

Looks a bit like the SR125 I'm selling only a bit bigger.

Looks nice, just wondering how long it'd last before something goes araye.

I take it that it has had the Watsonian Upgrade?

[TheShaggyDA]

I got it with the understanding it's not a jap bike, and that it requires more maintenance than most bikes. Since I like that, if anything goes awry, I'll fix it
