I first considered purchasing a Royal Enfield in 1990 when I was living in The Netherlands, then once again in the year 2000. Finally in 2008 I got serious and drove out to see Mike to have a look over the Royal Enfield's. I've always been fascinated by British bikes and on visiting I felt as if I was in a time warp. I was greeted by a stable of old fashioned brand new bikes just waiting to be ridden.
Taking one for a ride was an experience because I hadn't ridden for 20 years, I wasn't especially steady although I made it around the Albany circuit and went on to purchase a new 500 Bullet.
Trevor and Mike have been really helpful, this seems to be just the way they are. Nothing is too much trouble for these guys and I always feel welcome asking for advise and they seem to have a lot of time for me.
This is one cool bike and it has the ability to draw a small crowd wherever I go. When I first purchased I thought that I would be riding on the weekends only, but now I commute every day from the North Shore of Auckland into the city and the bike is great.
Congratulations! We have pick a winner for the parts & accessories draw.

Royal Enfield, makers of legendary British Classic bikes, are back in Cologne, Germany to unveil their all new "BULLET 500" at the Intermot on 7th October 2008.
In 1932, the Royal Enfield "Bullet" was originally created in Britain. Now, 76 years later, Royal Enfield's newest model celebrates these early "Bullets".
The new "Bullet 500 Classic" harks back to the 'G2' Bullet of the early 1950s, retaining the quintessential classic British
style that is inextricably linked to the Royal Enfield name.
The new "Bullet 500 Classic" is powered by the new 500cc 'Unit Construction Engine' (UCE) and is homologated for Euro III norms.

This
sliver, dear readers is a slice of the recently unveiled "Royal
Enfield - The Legend Rides On"!
In honor of 50 years of production in India, Royal Enfield Motors has
published a stunning new coffee
table book with the above title.
Truly, this is a must-possess pearl of rare beauty for everyone interested
in classic motorcycles and this exceptional marque. There has never
been a book of this quality published about the Royal Enfield.
Why exactly is the Royal Enfield Bullet so loved by so many people across
the globe? Look through this book, and you will find your answer. It’s
a pictorial journey that dares to use words only when it must, moving
down memory lane, spanning time, countries, continents, uniting hearts,
minds, and souls.
From the early days of the Enfield’s birth at the Redditch Works,
England, to the Enfield India factory in Chennai, India, it features
virtually every model of the motorcycle manufactured and marketed until
today. The book however wouldn’t be complete without featuring
an array of proud Royal Enfield motorcycle owners and their dream machines.
Like the old mechanic Santhanam Doss, milkman Malit Singh, the Indian
Armed Forces, our own George Helms, and many, many more. 162 pages of
exquisitely stunning color photographs, the factory has subsidized the
price of this beautiful book, so it is only $90.00 plus postage.
