October 15, 20178 yr Yeah, known about them for years. Pretty m/cycles, like them, never many made. Kudos to any guy who makes his own m/cycle let alone engine. I actually prefer the other Enfield v twin, made by an Indian guy, but possibly even more impressive. Forget his name. His story is on You Tube and he had a feature episode on Jay Leno's Garage. Stunning, just stunning, especially as he was sand casting his own crank cases from his own molds.
November 15, 20178 yr Interesting read about RE http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/11/14/meet-man-bringing-royal-enfield-back-uk-set-global-domination/ Thailand is in the “India-like” section
November 15, 20178 yr Burt Munro (The Worlds Fastest Indian) also did his own sand casting in his New Zealand garage. Quite an unasuming character in his day. Anthony Hopkins did a very good portrayal of him in the movie. And his record on that Indian still stands today. When someone sets the mind to something, its amazing what can happen. Another great Kiwi biker was John Brittan. Died well before he was due..... and that bike he made was aheads of its day.
