Royal Enfield Bullet 500 freeway ride

[JeraldRJ1]

Chiller184,

Thanks man. I ride a bicycle everywhere even the Winter when it's not icy and wet. My eyes are trained as far as riding defensive. There's a saying I think about. "How can you see me when you're not even looking for me." I keep that in mine as a ride. AND YES! Ride to be seen. Chat soon! I'll let you know how that class goes and when I upload a video here on the Tube.

chiller184,

I just enrolled in a motorcycle safety course. I'm looking at April as far as riding my G5 Deluxe. I owe like $800 on it. Spring and Summer are going to be awesome! I looked into the Go Pro camera. Any advice for a new rider is welcome man.

@JeraldRJ1 All ways ride as if no one can see you, ride defensively, and don't put yourself in places where other road users don't expect you to be. All the best

Cool Video, I keep thinking about getting one of the new 500 classics

for a fun little ride around bike, I currently have the MT 01.

my only concern is that once I start riding the Enfield I may start smiling

even more then on the MT01 :)

Chiller,

A buddy if mine has a 2008 Enfield w carborator engine. He says the new EFIs suck, run like a scooter, and rust like hell. Is he pulling my leg or what??

[chiller184]

@JeraldRJ1 I have never ridden one so I do not know what they are like and they are not something I am interested in riding. I only ride motorcycles with the gear lever on the correct side.

This is GoPro camera ?

[chiller184]

@laxzory yep

[JeraldRJ1]

Chiller...

Dude, I just dropped a decent amount for a down payment on a new G5 Deluxe. It looks like I'll get it around July or August (no rush). I'm excited!

I'll prob have some more questions for you.

[chiller184]

Oops, that is a 19 tooth drive sprocket.

[chiller184]

If you get an older Enfield like my motorcycle then you will need to amke a few modifications in order to ride on freeways without feeling like you are thrashing the motor, I have a hardened piston, custom rod, roller big end and 19th drive sprocket. If you get an Electra or one of the newer C5's etc then no problems with freeway riding, no doubt though these other models will have their own issues, they are Enfields after all. ;)

[JeraldRJ1]

Thanks for posting that video. Looks like the 500cc Bullet is good for speed too on a freeway. I'm considering getting one.
