Took Black Mollie for an afternoon toot over to Pine Flat Lake. Middle of the week, 75F water, light breeze, no other people anywhere. Nice to cool your toes in the lake on a hot afternoon...

Hmmm...a boatramp that isn't half a mile from shore. Don't let the Californians know about it or they'll swoop in with their sponge zeppelins.

So badass my Enfield's actually illegal  in India. Yet it squeaks by here in Virginia.

Hi, what a sweet Bullet! Did you made the seat by yourself? Cheers from Germany 👍

It's a Hitchcock's offering. I really like the mounting strategy, only uses two bolts to attach, very handy on/off. Comfortable enough to me & suits my needs.

Black Mollie is a nice ride. The 350 is less "harsh", noticeably smoother than the 500, albeit slower. Certainly better at low speed, parking lot maneuvering. Dead smooth (to me) at 45 - 50 MPH. The electric start is a nice feature. Pretty civilized for 1935 tech!  :)

Hi, thanx for the link! I guess I should give myself a gift for Christmas 😸
I would be interested to test ride a 350. Especially in THAT environment !  I also like the unique styling of the 350's rear fender 👍
All the best 👋
