    hi all,
    Bought my dream bike at 69yrs Young,2014 bonneville 865.
    Last four yrs on Royal Enfield 500electra X , wow what a difference,it corners like its on rails,and no vibration!.
    I am in N.E. Lincolnshire,I also have a 1960 T21 which I have restored but not on the road yet.

    Hello Phantom and welcome. 2014 Bonny eh? Very nice machine indeed. Would you be up for joining us on our first ever Forum Get-together? It's happening in Buxton, Derbyshire on the 9th to the 12th of August?

    You'll get a rare chance to meet and greet a fair number of our membership in person and put faces to names.

    Cheers
    Dave

    Welcome in to the forum.
    I had a 2004 Bonnie before the Tiger and have a 2005 Enfield Electra x which has been given the Hitchcock's Trials conversion. Know what you mean about vibrations!
