Love that retro look of the Royal Enfield. I’ve only seen one in the USA. I used to have a '76 Yamaha 650 twin. Got me though college. Hell of a good bike. Now I have a '97 Yamaha Virago 1100. But it needs some work.

Yes, Enfield, it does. The “Enfield” I do have is SMLE MK 4 No.1 in .303 British. Made in 1943! I made some small perfomance modifications before I sold the 650, Basically I put bigger jets in the carbs, K&N air filters, Hooker exhaust headers into a drilled out muffler and oh yes, two Toyota Truck coils for lot o’ spark. It was pretty loud and screamed up steep hills in top gear without lugging. Wish I still had it. One thing I really miss about it was the ergonomics - I could easily stand on the pegs whilst crossing a bumpy patch, not so easy on the Virago. Also you could lay down and rest your feet on the passenger’s footpegs, giving the back a good stretch. I need a bike designed for a tall person not the average Japanese. Once restored, I will probably sell the Virago and get a older BMW of moderate displacement for touring.
The Old Man wants one of these. Buell Blast. 500cc thumper.
i love buells, i want a buell lightening 1200. one day
I want one of these bad. A little Honda Ruckus.
i’ve got a 1999 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Drifter, the one that is an Indian replica with big swoopy fenders. My other bike is a Lemond Poprad cyclocross bicycle. I ride it on the back roads and trails around here. I’ve been very happy with both of them.
I like those fenders. Do you have a passenger seat for that drifter? My wife insists by bikes have seats for her. Oh well.
I’m contemplating getting a scooter at some point when I’m at University. I really want a postie or a Ruckus, but I doubt I’ll be be able to afford one.
Just bought one of these.
bakdoor, I want the little Ruck! The Old Man is pissed they don’t produce the Big Rucks anymore.
You can still get them in Japan. I got this one off ebay for 3300. 800 original miles!
Like the Ruckus! I’m stuck on the mid-70 Jap bikes . I’ve got a 1975 CB125s, a 1975 xl100, and a 1975 suzuki TS400 Apache.Started with a CT70 , wish I still had that little cuss! Can’t beat the life span of a Honda–One-lungers for me!
Latest acquisition. 1959 Duo Glide HD Panhead.
And, something to haul it in!
Greaser bike to the max. Effin sweet! Nice Hauler! Where did you end up getting it?
St Pete. Went to look at the toy hauler and ended up buying both!
Guy said his knees are bad and he can no longer kickstart it
