I need to try to update my 'lifelong motorcycle ownership list' one of these days, I might lose track.

Are you sure you wouldn't rather have a Beech Staggerwing?

Rapid City? You don't happen to know Joe Amo? I know him from landspeed racing motorcycles, he has a very fast Kawasaki... 272 MPH

Beautiful motorcycle! Congratulations.
Always loved the look of the British motorcycles.

Nah, enclosed cabin biplanes are for pussies.
I know he's around here, but I don't think I've ever met him.

Congrats!!! Love the color too!!
I so want a Royal Enfield, probably a 650, or an Interceptor GT (I previously was in the Supersport camp with a GSX-R and R6), but waiting a few more years.

That's a nice bike. So when are you going to get the new Goldstar 650 BSA.

My next door neighbour has a model almost identical to yours
I've ridden a few REs (did a 350km ride on the Great Ocean Road, seriously one of the best motorcycling roads in the world) switching between various models and they are way cool

Ooh i saw those a month or so ago..how good do they look? The first bike I ever rode was a Honda XR75, but his dad had a garage full of BSAs and gave me lessons on his 250, he didn't bat an eyelid when i dropped it

Well played John. That's a good looking bike. I'm seeing quite a few of the new Enfield twins on the roads here in the UK. A Harley owning mate has one and loves it. I just hope that the build quality is better than the Bullet Electra that I owned a while back. To be honest it couldn't be any worse.
In spite of the recent hype concerning that bike, nobody knows when the Gold Star 650 will actually get to the US, or even if it will be available here. You'd think that, at least, there would be some ride reviews of it, but so far, nothing further than some videos of pre-production show bikes.
Yes, my 2016 500 looked very nice from ten feet away, but it wasn't put together nearly as well as the 2015 Yamaha SR400 I also had at the time. It ran well, however.

I used to have a Enfield, 303 British, bolt action, that a friend of my dad's made a sporting stock for. WWII British surplus. Incredibly accurate rifle. Hard to get amo for though...
I had an Enfield MKIV about twenty years ago, and also a MKV 'Jungle Carbine. The only old military arm I currently have is my 1929 Mosin Nagant.
Now you need to find a drive-in restaurant with roller skating curb service.
Oh Calcutta!

Sounds to me like a lot of the horsepower got away before they shipped it? ;-)
Just yanking yer antlers. One of my current projects has about half that much power. I've been tempted to check out Enfield's myself...
WOW, expected real Indian, but this is also awesome, congrats !
Didn't knew they are sold in the USA, really interesting !
BTW, how much it cost in your country ?

Congratulations, she's a grand looker.
Old style from the golden age of British Bikes, I had one of their bicycles as a kid.
I also thought the Royal Enfield was where the Queen kept her chickens.
