I saw a guy in a bar last night with a shirt that said, "Speed kills". Then I thought of "Royal Enfield, because speed kills.". Slow down and enjoy the ride brothers

grrrrrrrrrrr gonna keep my mouth shut sort of. Some bikers was celebrating a little heavily with smokage instead of booze. One of them dumped their bike going down hill on a two lane with no helmet. It ripped his scalp off. My poor exgf witness the wreck in front of her. She happened to know some of the guys riding and they all split! The police got them not to far away and they had a lot of weed on them and that is why the bailed on their brother. So that is my two cents worth.

My conversation the other day

He: What kind of bike is that?
Me, pointing to the tank: It's a Royal Enfield.
He: Who makes it?
Me: Royal Enfield
He: Yeah, but who makes Royal Enfield? Triumph?
Me: Royal Enfield, they've been around since 1903.
He: Never heard of it.
Me: Now you have.

I guess the Triumph jacket I wear confuses the hell outta the hoi polloi.

I support you wearing the Triumph jacket while riding the RE. IMO you should never wear the brand of your bike on your jacket unless you're sponsored, it just makes you look like a weenie. Wearing another brand makes you look like a seasoned connoisseur

jartist · **Reply #22 on:** June 21, 2012, 01:32:42 am

Does my RE pin on my jacket make me look like a weenie?

I bought groceries the other day and an elderly woman at the checkout saw the pin and said that she hadn't heard that name in many years. As she said it her eyes kind of glazed over and she stared past me at nothing in particular.

The way I figure it, my weenie decals lets people know what that neat machine that just passed them was.
Then they can say;

him: What was that motorcycle that just passed us?
her: The helmet said "Royal Enfield".
him: Oh yah. BSA made a bunch of those way back in the '50's.
her: Your wrong as usual. My app says Royal Enfield goes back before BSA was even around.
him: Damn phones!

me: Hee, hee, hee!

Dude! Now you look like some English/Indian hybrid version of a Harley pirate! Ack! Weenie-ness fades when covered with enough road grime and dead bugs, but a guy with brand new head to toe HD gear and a shiny new bike, steer clear! He's gonna dump that midlife crisis by the end of the day!

BrashRooster · **Reply #31 on:** June 23, 2012, 08:20:33 am

my vest I have Honda pin and my friend asked me how come I haven't taken it off because I got rid of both of my Hondas. I just looked at him dead in the eye and replied "because I am to damned lazy to take it off" which of course is not why. I like certain Honda bikes so I keep the pin on my vest. I have a Harley Davidson key fob on one of my C5 key and the other key has a Yamaha key fob. I had to take my id tags off that didn't work out so well. RE should throw in a some key fob's the el cheapo ones not the nifty ones in the catalog. That is just my two cents worth.

Ducati Scotty · **Reply #32 on:** June 23, 2012, 03:04:47 pm

Now that's what I'm talking about! A nice varied collection gathered over the years.

I do have a friend who has a 250 Kymco scooter. As a gift his mom bought him a full set of Harley riding gear in standard black and orange colors. That was a bit too much so he took it back and exchanged it for black on black. Still a little odd for a scooter but really nice gear and not so garish.

I'm not so sure about that; my most-recent-ex-wife's lawyer was an older man, and he cost me a packet.

Nothing wrong or expensive about talking to young women, as long as you get out of the habit of finding the ones that don't like you and buying them houses...
