I'm not much of a videographer, but here's a record of how I spent part of my morning.  I didn't realize that my little camera was set to loop every three minutes.  Some 12-yr-old would probably know how to knit these together into a single video.  No action here.  Just me talking.

Here's the next addition to your fleet!

Pre-Unit Royal Enfield as regards oil - change early, change often... :o
A trifecta of Pre-Unit Bullets: a Red Deluxe 500, a Green Standard 500, and a Black ES 350.

It was a lesson learned the hard way.  I'm much more careful now.

Re: the 450
It's a nice looking motorcycle (second best after the RE), and I suppose I'd rather have a 450 than my 250, but the $17K price is a bit wide of my budget.  Besides, what would i do with three?

Mon, Wed, Fri, 250 Janus.
Tue, Thu, Sat, 450 Janus.
Sunday, 500 Electra!  ;D

If we all bought more lottery tickets, more of us would have the 450 Halcyon in our garages...at least 0.0001% of us, eh?  ;D

If we're talking lottery winner's bike, I'd be thinking more Featherbed Norton Model 30 International, or maybe a Godet/Egli Vincent Grey Flash in road trim. You can have my Halcyon.

Grumpy Brit still seeking 500 AVL Bullet perfection! Will let you know if I get anywhere near...

Yep.  But if I won the lottery, I'd be thinking more about a sailboat on the Chesapeke.
