I appreciate Kevin's remarks and his resentment over negative remarks made about Enfields (P.O.S.). If you watch the marketplace, you see a lot of Triumphs, BSAs and even Nortons for sale, but hardly any early Royal Enfields, nor later ones for that matter. Over the months I've been involved I have gotten the impression that in their day, when traditional British bikes were still being produced, Enfield was a class act. Since it has been improved since those days, it would be, from a technical viewpoint, even more of value today. Collectors are an odd lot, many have to have a superiority complex or they wouldn't place such value on collecting antiques. Sure there are collectors among us here, but of bikes they value and not necessarily to realize a profit or to boost their egos. There is a big difference between having something you like because you like it and having something because others place a high value on it. One is enjoyable, the other just ego.
