A Friend And His Bike



New bike, classic lines.

The Royal Enfield company set up a factory in India in the 1950s- and it's still producing bikes to the classic 1950s design.

The rider is Jeff- Kirstie's husband...

That does look nice.

I know nothing about bikes, but I do like a good-looking machine.

Nice photo. The bikes of 60th style look like not such agressive as up-date models.

Geoff says it's not a bike that demands to be ridden fast. He's an oldish chap. He's quite happy to pootle along at 40mph.

I rather like the look of that. ^_^ I'm no petrolhead by any stretch of the imagination, but that does show off quite classically elegant lines.

So, will we be seeing photos of you on such a beast? ^_^

Erm, no.

1. I don't have a licence.

2. I'd be terrified.
