Re: New toy - Enfield Himalayan
Very nice!
I was seriously considering a Himalayan last year before I got ill.
The seat puts too much pressure in the wrong place now, which is a bummer as OnTheWheel near me have just become RE dealers.
They are a crackin' bike by all accounts. Is this an addition or a replacement for a previous DD steed?

First fuel injected petrol bike I have ever had, keep looking for the choke.
Never had ABS before either.

Re: New toy - Enfield Himalayan
very nice Dave, although for me it would have been the Constellation
Couple of questions: -
Whats left the fleet to make room for this one
Retirement package must be strong
How did you convince the Mrs you really needed another bike

Re: New toy - Enfield Himalayan
Sid brought his to Matlock. He was very pleased with how it went and said it was very competent on the byways. More competent than the rider - who rode it into a rock and broke it a little...
