That Royal Enfield is lovely!

Nice taste in cars as well.

Not too keen on the Harleys though if I'm honest. Take it you're a fan of Triumph?

Well spotted....Yes, it had only been laid about four days before off memory....

Some of these photos should be added to the 'Period photos' thread!

Presumably the Harley was OK as the sidestand has that stupidly long 'foot'...

That's right, it probably entended about eight inches along the floor, although (imo) a good idea, some of these 10 grand sports bikes are only held up by a sidestand made from a thin piece of metal, with a base the size of a 10p piece.... bad news if the bike falls over and smashes an expensive fairing or worse still, an engine crankcase...

True enough, which is why I carry one of these. You can support your bike and the poppy appeal at the same time!
