A small single cylinder scrambler style bike well made would be a contender. I've looked several times at the Royal Enfield offerings and thought they might be fun on a Sunday afternoon.
Thanks 4 paws.
Yes, it took many, many hours to get it that way.
I bought it in 2000 partially restored and spent 1 1/2 years working off and on to get it like this. It took more money than it's worth, but I intended to keep it for myself and ride it. It was back on the road in the spring of 2002.
The pic was taken in 2003 and it still looks like the pic. It's my baby and I don't abuse it. It gets lots of fresh oil and TLC.
I ride it mainly on Sundays on club rides and have put over 8,000 miles on it completely trouble free.
It costs $$$ to restore these old relics to a high standard, but all these years later it has paid off in pride and satisfaction.
I nearly forgot to mention that it doesn't leak.
