Aye Tim, bit of a story there. As you know I'm friendly with a car/bike dealer up Armoy direction,who have a great collection of British road and race bikes. Anyway, he gives me a phone call. He knows I have a soft spot (my head) for exotic machinery. A bike he has just taken in on a part exchange and I have first refusal. 2005 Royal Enfield 350 Bullet, RH gearchange, kickstart only, Craven panniers, Rickman top box and a practical sized screen as well. All this with less than 4K miles. Close to mint condition and a good price. Jumps on the bike and off I go. Arrives at the showroom and inside I spots a Royal Enfield, not the one I've come to view, but a Continental GT535 with various bells and whistles fitted. Few months old and 600 miles on the speedo. I knew what was going to happen before I got the helmet off. Logic kicked in, if I got both, one of them is bound to start. (I bought my first Oilfield in 1969, so I know about standing at the side of a road). Two for one, or buy one get one free, whatever. Chopped in the Honda against the pair of them. Riding home I was content. Safe in the knowledge when reality dawned on what I had just done, I just have to increase my medication.
Ron.
