I had a Sheriff drooling over the bike today - It was parked with the Ural, and two Sheriff type folk came to call.. They spent a long time chatting about the bikes.
About a month ago I rode my Electra and my son rode his Harley 883 Sportster from Albany, Ga. to Athens, GA. (around 180 mi. one way) to a large dealership to trade his Sportster in for a 2007 Suzuki SV650. While he was handling all of the paperwork on the trade, I had parked my Enfield Electra under a paved covered pavilion, with picnic tables. Only motorcycles could be parked under the shelter. My bike was the most popular bike there. The sales people, buyers, visitors and other types all wanted to talk with me about my bike. One hardcore looking Harley type (who turned out to be really nice guy) said to me "man, you could stay out here all day and people would be continually asking you about your ride. Amazing. Its beautiful, I can tell you that man". I felt like a celebrity of sorts. Just to show off, while waiting I oiled my chain, pretended to tighten some nuts and bolts, checked the air in my tires, tapped on my carburator, etc. Folks gathered around to see this miracle man working his wonders.
By the way, the dealership in Athens is called "CYCLE WORLD OF ATHENS". A very friendly and helpful dealership. They are a dealer for HD, Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki, and I think maybe Kawasaki. Ton of used bikes. I would certainly recommend them if it means anything.
