I have no inclinations to get a Sportster. The late models are tanks. I sued to ride one in the early 60s and I kinda liked them back then. I almost bought one in '65, but  wanted something to scramble with and just opted for a 200 pound lighter Bultaco.

yeah to be honest im not a hd fan. just something about them doesnt appeal to me. a friend is tryna talk me into one, but im not sold. I had the choice to get any bike and chose the enfield because i loved its style. the test ride sold me instantly. i will get my bike ship shape soon and she'll be great. alot of bolts need replacing as they are corroding and braking off. simplicity to work on is handy seeing as im always working on it, but in some perverse way i enjoy the pain. when its going well, its heaps of fun and gets alot of attention.
