To understand Harley Davidson I am told, you must have some knowledge or appreciate of the American culture. I sure the same could be said for British bikes of the 1960s.
If you have a Kindle, Nook or an android and can download from Amazon books here are three (one more at the end) that will give you an idea of what a Royal Enfield is like in it's own home environment.
A Last Chance Powerdrive Part 1 and Part 2 by Beaumont, Benedict and
One Life to Ride-A Motorcycle Journey to the High Himalays, by Harisingghani, Ajit.
If you think Enfield as fragile, think again. And many of these folks choose a 350cc because it is fuel efficient, lighter and smoother running. Indians fix them every where. Near every village has an Enfield mechanic.
Want to ride a 110cc Honda step through around the world? Try; The Long Way Home, by Millward, Nathan
A very good book with some real adventure into Russia. Venture into Russia: Three Motorcycle Journeys, by; Bransby Lawrence.
Way to Go, Hill, Goff (Trip is on an Enfield from Delhi to Belfast) The other half is Harley trip in the US. He is rather critical of our "own." First half is quite good.
All are dirt cheap downloaded online to your device. All in English. Beats crap TV.
Ride to the Skies (2103) George Payikad. Written by an India who lives in India. His insights on Enfield are interesting. The wait to own one is over seven months. No wonder of the 175,000 made each year, only 5000 are exported. Sad that the US is such a small market for all motorcycles. The Europeans and Asia get the good stuff.
