hello from Victoria BC Canada!
I just picked up my new 2010 bullet classic yesterday, I LOVE IT!

I wanted a vintage ride and after looking at lots of bikes I settled on the Enfield
vintage looks and modern technology, what more can you ask for
I got it in the maroon color
I have a ton of questions but will save those for later, After I'm done searching the forums
I'm just gonna enjoy the ride for a while
happy riding
R

Merlot

C5 is a Pabst Blue Ribbon bike if there ever was one

GreenMachine · **Reply #9 on:** June 06, 2011, 10:05:47 pm

Pabst...Haven't had that in 20 years...I rather have a killian red or Beamish stout.....

Okie Enfield · **Reply #10 on:** June 06, 2011, 10:10:58 pm

If your gonna have a red, try a Smithwicks. Oldest Irish Red on the planet. mmm good.

rbelyk · **Reply #11 on:** June 07, 2011, 02:11:33 am

smithwicks

I usually only drink Blue Buck a local microbrew from Philips Brewery, best beer on the planet! but I will give Smithwicks a try... if I can find it...

GreenMachine · **Reply #12 on:** June 07, 2011, 02:34:06 am

heard of it..never had one..will do.. i have a ohara red in the fridge..says imported from ireland...its pretty good but to be honest its very close to a killians...i prefer beamish to Guinness...its just a bit more mellow IMO..its hard to find here..of course u can't beat either in draft pints coming up cold from the cellar..theirs not many beers i don't like..even pabst blue ribbons...i really like gensis cream ale and strohs fire brewed beer...remember them in pony bottles...

She looks grand! (and there's always Rickard's Red - if you can keep it down).

rbelyk · **Reply #15 on:** June 07, 2011, 03:05:23 pm

thanks Ice, Andy
cheers

Okie Enfield · **Reply #16 on:** June 07, 2011, 04:28:32 pm

Great choice on the bike rbelyk, welcome to the clan!

P.S. Check your tire pressures.

Now go make sure that front is NOT above 20psi. I am serious. I couldn't believe the difference. And Guinness is the best. It says so in the Book of World Records.

Oh yeah, WELCOME!

rbelyk · **Reply #19 on:** June 07, 2011, 06:13:55 pm

thanks olhogrider , will check that when I get home!

Okie Enfield · **Reply #20 on:** June 07, 2011, 06:45:20 pm

olhogrider is right. my dealership had the Tire pressures set to 34-34. first time i took the bike over 60mph almost tank slapped me to the ground. The C5 likes a ridiculously low amount of tire pressure on the Avon's, 18-24 front-rear is what im running now and you would not believe the difference it makes!
