Looks like they're releasing new bikes quicker than they're releasing recall parts for the ones they've already sold you. :lol:

If youv'e ever ridden a Himmy Colin, the size of the wheels are the least of your worries!! :P

Really ? I've run one for over two years as my main transport. Apart from all the rubber, gaiters etc rotting off, it has been problem free, and one of the most stable bikes I've ridden bar none. What's been wrong with yours ?

notice the smile after the comment, I was joking!! I'm more than sure your aware of the Himmy early issues, which is old news, I really enjoyed my short stint owning mine, but wouldn't have another.

Ha ha. Neither would I. It was an excellent bike, bought for one last big trip that after the shenanigans we are currently in, it's not going to happen. It's the second modern Enfield I've owned, but I'll be on the look for another 350 Bullet, and Hitchcock back-up. :D

I think Hitchcocks are a decent dealer, next day delivery on most stuff. Also lots of old stock. I've also a friend in Pune who sends me Genuine R/E parts at a bargain price, so would never be stuck for spares.
