I ain't ever selling my two 790 Bonnie's or my Daytona or, to be honest, my two Royal Enfield Bullets although I don't know if I'll put the Bullets on the road this year. One of them has suffered quite a bit of rust on the wheels and exhausts while sat in the shed (Quality Indian Chrome) and I'm contemplating turning it into a winter rat bike and brushing a coat of Olive or RAF Blue paint over it and maybe putting knobblies on it.

That was a nice looking bike @gazzatriumph she must be nearly twice the CC of our old T120's of 650 capacity
Added one to the collection! Royal Enfield Meteor 350. Bought last weekend with the intention of modding a bit to make it just right for Lynne.
Already put a low seat on, shorter shocks and dropped the forks through by half an inch. She loves it, and surprisingly after a quick spin today, so do I. Although you do have to watch out for all that power ripping your arms out of their sockets!!
3 years old with 1200 miles on the clock. Purchased, taxed, insured for less than two and a half grand in total.
The photo shows the bike before we started pissing about with it.

Looks good Tony, they are an awesome engine for a 350, as you say watch out for the power it will catch you by surprise

"Toni" I thought Lynne had a Sportster? is this an addition? or has she got shot of it, she may need some time to adjust to the extra power 
The Sportster has been gone for a while now mate. The weight and heavy clutch were getting too much.
The Enfield is not light, but it's much lighter than the Harley.

1200 miles is only just run in, they loosen up quite a bit with a few more miles , mine has done 22,000 now and never missed a beat, I know a guy that has done more than 40,000 and is currently heading to Greece for the 3rd time. Mine had 17bhp at the wheel but with the mods all done is now on 22bhp , also swapped the ecu to get rid of the limiter , so was 74mph limited and now hits 85 for an overtake. Oh yeh and even with the mods it still does between 90 and 100 mpg
I don't think we'll be doing any performance mods, although never say never! The little bike seems to make all its power nice and low down, and Lynne rarely rides above 60mph anyway. It seems well suited to our Peaks and Dales country roads, just chilling and enjoying the scenery.1200 miles is only just run in, they loosen up quite a bit with a few more miles , mine has done 22,000 now and never missed a beat, I know a guy that has done more than 40,000 and is currently heading to Greece for the 3rd time.
