Yep, my conservative alter ego, been there done that! I always, and for years, bought broken down junk and restored them, usually for around $500 or so. The only expensive bike I ever bought was my $4,000, slightly used BA. Then, a couple of years ago, I was in the lustful throes of wanting a new Royal Enfield, mostly cause of the old timey looks and simple technology, like the bikes I've always had. But I looked at one up close, and didn't think it was physically big enough for me, too small to tour on. And the reliability worried me. THEN, the new Indian came out and the sickness began. Thought about it night and day, talked myself out of it cause of the crazy cost. But THEN, we know the rest of the story. I was 56 years old, never had a new "anything", and my friends and family were dropping one after another. The clincher was that my wife's health got a little better and she said she thought she could ride on the Indian. (plus, she's a big girl) Keep workin on it, Ian ole buddy. Think about it. Look at the new bikes. Listen closely for that soft voice coming from a huge, new and shiny sickle...Listen Ian, can ya hear it call....ian, iiiiannn, IANNNN! Keep listening for it. You'll get there!!!



Stop! I can't take it. I don't want one, I need one now! Thank goodness the dealers are closed tomorrow.

I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.
