Just took a ride, 3 guys, 3 Enfields, 1500 klms across Laos.
Superb machines ideally suited for roads there; sizeable potholes, dirt
roads, cows, chickens, pigs, wild truckers etc.
Zero problems.
The Enfields just take it all in their stride and have style doing it.
Low down grunt, great sound and safe, cause people hear you thumping along.
Just one puncture from a 1" nail, while on a 100 klm unpaved road.
Wheel out (QD wheels are great), new tube in, fixed on the side of the
road in 10 minutes and riding again.
Anyone who cant appreciate how great these bikes are, obviously hasn't
ridden them any distance.
Preferable in those conditions to any skittery high C of G trail bike or revvy plastic
crotch rocket or even a Triumph twin.
I'd buy one tomorrow if they were on sale here. Great machines.
There is a very good reason why they have been making them basically
the same for 50 odd years.
PS. By the way.... it's ROYAL.
