hello from Victoria BC Canada!
I just picked up my new 2010 bullet classic yesterday, I LOVE IT! ;D
I wanted a vintage ride and after looking at lots of bikes I settled on the Enfield
vintage looks and modern technology, what more can you ask for
I got it in the maroon color
I have a ton of questions but will save those for later, After I'm done searching the forums
I'm just gonna enjoy the ride for a while
happy riding

:P Merlot ??? C5 is a Pabst Blue Ribbon bike if there ever was one ;D
-
Pabst...Haven't had that in 20 years...I rather have a killian red or Beamish stout.....
-
If your gonna have a red, try a Smithwicks. Oldest Irish Red on the planet. mmm good. :P
-
smithwicks ???
I usually only drink Blue Buck a local microbrew from Philips Brewery, best beer on the planet! but I will give Smithwicks a try... if I can find it...
-
heard of it..never had one..will do.. i have a ohara red in the fridge..says imported from ireland...its pretty good but to be honest its very close to a killians...i prefer beamish to Guinness...its just a bit more mellow IMO..its hard to find here..of course u can't beat either in draft pints coming up cold from the cellar..theirs not many beers i don't like..even pabst blue ribbons...i really like gensis cream ale and strohs fire brewed beer...remember them in pony bottles...

Now go make sure that front is NOT above 20psi. I am serious. I couldn't believe the difference. And Guinness is the best. It says so in the Book of World Records. ;)
Oh yeah, WELCOME!
-
thanks olhogrider , will check that when I get home!
-
olhogrider is right. my dealership had the Tire pressures set to 34-34. first time i took the bike over 60mph almost tank slapped me to the ground. The C5 likes a ridiculously low amount of tire pressure on the Avon's, 18-24 front-rear is what im running now and you would not believe the difference it makes! ;)
