Hello all,

I had posted in the UCE forum awhile back when I was considering one of the new enfields. As luck would have it a really clean 2008 AVL bullet with 3000 miles showed up in the local classifieds. Well, the price and condition was too good to pass up so I bought the bike on the spot.

Congrats on your new bike!  It looks good!

 I've got a 2008 classic with the AVL and have had great luck with it.   I only have 8000+miles on it so far but  I feel I could ride it almost anywhere.

That looks like a nice bike you bought. It was most likely sold by Richard and Meg at Centaur Cycles in Santa Fe. This means that you can count on that bike being set up correctly when it was new. Welcome aboard
