Hi everyone
This is the best Enfield forum I've seen on the internet so I thought I should join and share the grief/joy with everyone! I gave up motorcycling a year ago after owning 13 bikes over 38 years but after our glorious summer this year I've missed it so much that I'm going to have one final fling on two wheels. I've just bought a 2008 Bullet 500 'Machismo' with the AVL engine. It's a real shiner as the previous owner spent many hours and a litre tub of Autosol polish on it. Here are some photos of it. I will be asking you all questions about how to do things to it shortly but for now I'm just going to enjoy these last few weeks of our summer by riding it around the villages in Devon where I live.

Welcome to the forum potboiler. Nice looking bike!  It was made for the B roads in your area. Enjoy and congrats.

Hi PB

Yes it is a great site, a throng a friendly folk with some good advice to boot... I can almost hear the thump of your engine from Cambridgeshire !!

Welcome!

that's quite a rare machine outside India, though the good (?) news is that it is mechanically identical to the Electra-X for spare parts, only the tinware is different, though that is mostly from the classic Indian Bullets.  All the vices and (mostly) virtues of the Electra-X apply, get some miles in and enjoy.  There are a few of us Brits who have been kindly allowed a place on our friends' forum, some even with a passion for the AVL versions of the Bullet.

Regards,

Adrian
