Bonnie works in a rest home in Blackpool (UK) and one of the residents who is 83 got talking as she turned up one day on her Bonneville. He said I used to ride bikes many years ago and in WWII, where he was a dispatch rider. This picture is a bike he rebuilt fully from the frame up.

Great picture!
I love the style of those machines, but they're just too small for me.
Yesterday at the NYC motorcycle show we saw a 300+ pound guy sitting on a R-E. Scary! lol

Hey Ray, What a crackin' photo. Look at the street...cobbled, no double yellow lines, no cars!

I used to have a 1960 Royal Enfield 250 Continental GT Single, cafe racer with clip ons and a large aluminium tank. I owned it when nobody wanted them anymore(1970s). I wish I took some photos and kept it more than a few months..but such is life !!


Think what you say .....before you say what you think!!! If in doubt...say nowt!!
