Bill Green is an automotive photographer and we took my Enfield out for a road photo shoot recently. He really has an eye and the post production talent for making the vehicles look larger than life.
Turned out slick, I think! My bike is a 2003 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic. I replaced the stock tires with bigger 4.00x19 Duro #308 Universal last summer. Not only do they look cool, but they're a lot more forgiving on uneven pavement. I ride 50 miles round trip to and from work every day it's not freezing and raining. The Enfield rides very smooth and I love the rumble of this single thumper. It has the old iron barrel which remained consistent (along with virtually everything else) from 1955-2008. It's easy to change the oil, replace clutch plates, adjust timing and make all the adjustments necessary for regular maintenance. When there's something I can't fix, I turn to Rex Floyd - my favorite British bike mechanic - a guy who's become a good friend.
