Congrats! It is a very potent machine this F.A.B. 500...
...but what does Asbo mean???
There is a little story behind that name. In Britain, we have [or had until recently] a thing called an 'Antisocial behaviour order', or 'Asbo' for short. These were issued to badly behaved people who were not bad enough to be put 'inside' - like noisy neighbours, for example.
I had started tuning Royal Enfield Bullets before I had even thought of giving them a name of any sort, but one day, I was out on my own tuned 500 Bullet, when a name came to mind. Starting up in the street in my local town, the bike gave a sudden, loud bark as it fired up and several people in the street turned to see where the noise was coming from, but one guy jumped right into the air, then shouted and swore at us !
Mentioning this on the MBR forum, I commented that if any machine deserved an 'Asbo', this was it. The rest, as they say, is history
.
That bike is pictured below. It could raise the front wheel in 1st and 2nd gears and topped out at 90mph. Still running, it now lives quite local and belongs to a friend of mine who never gave up trying to persuade me to sell it to him.
