Yesterday I saw the first rape blossoms early this year near the midth of April in the north of Germany. With 4° during the day and around 0° at night it feels more like winter than spring. It doesn't matter to me and the nature can't wait to do what feels naturally .....

Thank you, Cormanus, for your kind comment.
In another motorbike forum, where members are not so friendly to each other, I got a totally different comment....think I should stop posting there. What makes me wonder is my impression, that a very nice bike like the one for this "special" forum, gathers some very strange and bashing, somehow frustrated riders, which hide themselves behind ironic and what they think seems to be "humoristic", but mostly not respectful comments....
I like the in tune style of this CB-forum here.

That bike just looks awesome. Yours reminds me of T.E. Lawrence, although I don't know what he really rode. I'd like to have one too. The nearest dealer is about 90 miles from me and that may be a good thing

Again a great picture from one of our German friends with a great taste in motorcycles.

Great snap Wisedrum. The R.E. looks like a very fun bike to ride. I like thumpers because like the R.E., they tend to have unique character.

I would post a shot from the post I read, but it's easy enough to look up. Royal Enfield of Albany says they will soon have stock of their newest addition to the lineup. Of particular interest is the side profile, while being tighter and more sparse than the CB1100, looks to carry the retro torch pretty well. I seem to recall that the early CBs mimicked the British bikes so well, and buried them in price and reliability. Well, here we go again, maybe.
The Royal Enfield Interceptor price is supposed to be much less than the CB. But that is to be expected. It is a 650cc twin made in India by a company that is trying to gain a world wide market.

That RE 650 is indeed attractive. Not sure the reservoir shocks go with the theme, but other than that a bang up job by RE if they turn out to be reliable.
