Like brit bikes, Norton and Trumphs ****ing all the oil out on my garage
floor. With Lucas (Lord Lucas Prince of Darkness) electrics...

You should try a 2008 Triumph, which suffers none of those problems.

But my 1970 Triumph Saint 650 (ex-Police) fitted your description
perfectly. ;-)

Qu: A couple of my mates have hogs and a couple have pommie bikes.
What's common between them?

An: They each have a jap bike as well so that they can get to work on
time. ;-)

Haha, I had a 65 and 68 sprite. The 65 ran out of oil one day and siezed.
Loved it so much I bought a 68. Are there still Royal Enfields about?

They continue to be manufactured in India, several decades after
production ended in England:

There are other models that are slightly more up to date in some
aspects, with features like electric starters and left foot gear

When I read posts like this, I can't help but wonder what people for
whom English is a learned language, actually think of us!

You must have very long Sundays in your part of the world!

As a youth I had a friend with a 750cc Royal Enfield. Monster machine.
Almost as large, awkward and dangerous in a sweeping corner as a Vincent
was. I think it was about the time of the start of the Vietnam war -
which I escaped being drafted into by 3 months.

I rode a humble Thunderbird but many of the guys I used to meet with had
Volkswagen engines shoehorned into BMW and Featherbed frames. About the
time I gave up my misspent youth and decided to join the real world,
Bridgestone 2 strokes began showing themselves on the streets.

I remember those. High power on slippy tyres with a lethally stepped
power band. You had a to be real man to ride one of those :-)

"Slippy" is one of those words that is typical for people from the
Pittsburgh area. None of my friends from outside the area use the word.
Nice to see that others do!
