Royal Enfield le Site : Le Forum

Just bought a 1993 Enfield Bullet 500. My first bike was a Royal Enfield Bullet. She cost me £3 10s and I was 15 years old with 3 months to my 16th birthday. That was 1964 and a lot of water, as well as bikes, has passed under the bridge. Most memorable bikes include a Vincent Black Shadow which cost me £150 and a Gold Star DBD34 with the RRT2 close ratio gear box. She would do 70mph in first but you had to slip the clutch in 1st up to 25-30mph. Not good in town traffic. I also owned a 500 trials Bullet which I used to ride in pre-65 events. My Enfield joins a 1975 HD 1000XLH, a 2013 883 HD Sportster and two old Solexes one of which took part in a rally with 170 other Solexes in Quiberon in September last year. It would be nice to see other owners this coming summer. I wish you all dry roads and, if you also own a Solex, following winds

Welcome.
Could you please write in French? It could be better for a nice comprehension. Thanks!

Yes, it could be très better for moi ...

Je viens d'acheter une Enfield Bullet 500 de 1993. Ma première moto était une Royal Enfield Bullet. Elle m'a coûté £3 10s et j'avais 15 ans et 3 mois avant mon 16ème anniversaire. C'était en 1964 et beaucoup d'eau, ainsi que des motos, ont passé sous le pont. Parmi les motos les plus mémorables, il y a une Vincent Black Shadow qui m'a coûté 150 £ et une Gold Star DBD34 avec la boîte de vitesse RRT2. Elle pouvait rouler à 70 miles par heure en première, mais vous deviez glisser l'embrayage en première jusqu'à 25-30 miles par heure. Pas bon dans le trafic urbain. J'ai également possédé une 500 trial Bullet que j'utilisais pour participer à des événements pré-65. Mon Enfield rejoint une HD 1000XLH de 1975, une HD Sportster 883 de 2013 et deux vieux Solex dont l'un a participé à un rallye avec 170 autres Solex à Quiberon en septembre de l'année dernière. Il serait agréable de voir d'autres propriétaires l'été prochain. Je vous souhaite à tous des routes sèches et, si vous possédez aussi un Solex, des vents favorables.
