jont Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 I'll tell you what, bikes have changed a bit since my day! I used to go around marking my territory with little pools of oil (particularly when I had an Enfield!), not unlike the way dogs do when they cock their legs on every lamp post. I thought there was something wrong with this one, not a drop of oil leaks from anywhere ! I have heard that you don't even have to pay an extra penny now for a shot of Red X whenever you fill up, amazing!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkwindjammer Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 An Enfield, I'm itching to have a test ride on on 'o' these, a local trader has them, heard they haven't changed much from original even tho' they're made in 'ding-ding land' I think they're uprated from the 'total-loss' lubrication system of old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jont Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 I believe they're very good these days if you want a steady plodder. Mine was a 500 Meteor Minor, God rest its' little soul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
