Just a thought for a thread idea as I headed out to ride up Mt. Wachusett near me in Massachusetts. I always have this compulsion to get to the top of hills, and taking the Enfield along their sure is fun. So the idea is: post shots of the bike near where you live at a point of significant RELATIVE elevation. Yeah, I could go to the White Mountains in New Hampshire for a better view, but Mount Wachusett is closer to me, and it's a really perfect ride out there for the Bullet. I know this isn't as impressive as those Indian Himalayan rides, but this ride is meaningful to me, and represents what the Enfield means to me as a vehicle in my surroundings.

Requisite info for post:

Mount Wachusett, elevation 2066'.
I live at 80' above sea level.
This is 36 miles from where I live (as I rode).

So, here are my shots- yeah, not great shots of the bike, and I'm no photographer, but the clouds were great.

My other bike's an Ironhead. It's like working on the Enfield twice.
