Still just shy of three days to go with that auction, but at $1,325 bid that currently looks like a promising fixer-upper. No title, and who knows what the REAL story is, but I've seen and resurrected worse.

I'm led to understand there's a lotta Redditch Bullet cycle parts compatibilities there, so might be a light fixer-upper where parts hunting's concerned.

I need another "project bike" like I need some mariachi-style Manfred Mann tribute band of possums rattling maracas in my colon, but still must confess my gut's really drawn to that sweet spot low stress 500 twin.

Thanks all the same for tormenting me with that tip, AZCal Retred.
So badass my Enfield's actually illegal  in India. Yet it squeaks by here in Virginia.

It'll be about May-June at the earliest before we get access to that vaccine, unless we bootleg in some black-market Chinese concoction from Brazil, plenty of "down" time left...  ;)

About an hour from me. If you buy it I can store it for you. That would look nice in my man cave for the winter.  ;)
