Saw this in a Rolling Stone magazine from India.  First page.

The copy says:
"The all-new Royal Enfield Classic single-seater - the perfect combination of authentic post-war styling and cutting-edge technology.  With its striking vintage design, Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) technology, Unit Construction Engine (UCE), Quick Start Ignition and ME-Seat, the next generation of Royal Enfield riders can experience pure motorcycling as it was naturally intended - smooth, uninterrupted and personal."

Aint nothing "uninterrupted" about a RE.  Is that what we look like on our Enfields?  Amazing.

  That would just take away the fun of guessing who someone is.  This is actually me before my fifth cup of coffee.

It would be a riot to see folks here try and recreate that ad photo.  Wait for summer, find some open road, and get your cool on.

I look more like the avatar, I was a little less than honest before.

When you got 20 people and they all look like Conan it's kinda hard to do.
I was thinking more on the line of a cloth patch to sew on our high school letter jackets.
