"Yup!

Twarn't easy gettin that eeleectric starter on thar but ah done it jus tha same.
Course, ah left the kick starter cuz ye nevar know whan that battery might give up the ghost."
That's what I'd like to say but usually I end up just telling folks that Royal Enfield never went out of business and it is a 2011.
Then there's the guy at the car show who said he used to be a dealer.
He mentioned selling new 2007, 500's and how they all leaked oil. Then he looked at the front forks and pointing at the leading axle said, "They changed the forks! They always had the axle in line with the tubes but I see they moved the axle forward on the new ones."
I didn't say anything but knowing that Royal Enfield has had the axle forward of the sliders ever since they first came out with them in 1948 it makes me wonder about this new found "expert ex-dealer".
