Practice switching to the right and your two left hands, because you too, brothers and sisters, will the day bloom when you suddenly have had enough of the Playmobil? and from the fugitive in the acquaintance of 100 an awful lot of horsepower.

Kaschumpfff. Nothing. Nobody at home. Kaschumpfff.
Again nothing. Okay again. Ka-pffft. Don’t get nervous now. Take a deep breath, stay relaxed. AT R.oyal Enfield doesn’t just start? she wants you to understand the miracle. So, full concentration: pull the deco lever, breathe in, hit the kick starter, breathe out. When the pointer of the
Ammeter is at zero, release lever, kick starter back-,
Let prayer come and then a full pot! Ka-shrink-umpf-umpf-umpf.
Stay tuned, it’s running. A little gas and ?? Almighty, what is it? Window panes vibrate, flowers–
Buckets begin to wander, hellishly loud single-cylinder sound hits back from walls. Undamped. What else with that
Exhaust? Apparently everyone should share in the miracle: one
Ignition is not a minor matter, friends, ignition
is a detonation! The bullet punches with every stroke of the piston
500 Trial this watchword in the ground.
It is important to enjoy moments like this, the uplifting seconds after the start, because everything that comes after is borderline. Riding a motorcycle on the verge of personal experience-
ability ?? without plasticizers, without reserves: unplugged.
Do not be fooled by the harmless key data.
499 cubic meters, 22 HP and 163 kilograms curb weight sound like friendly greetings from the mother’s convalescent work, but do not matter at all. The challenge starts with switching. First course: top right. Right, yes! Means that
the rear brake lever is on the left. For people who are used to writing their name backwards, of course not an issue? and completely normal with old Brits. For someone who works with-
who has no experience, but sometimes a disaster.
Complete behavior disorder before the first turn. Palpitations, clammy hands, all senses on high voltage. Perceived speed around 180, maybe on the speedometer
50 km / h. It cannot be said more precisely at the moment because no eye is free for the instruments. As if paralyzed, your gaze is glued to the approaching vertex. Complete paralysis, forgotten everything, paralyzing emptiness in the brain. Downshift? as? Brakes ?? Where? Is that thing on the left of the handlebar really the clutch? The speed sinks deeper and deeper into the cellar, that can’t
go well. Either the engine dies immediately or it bursts out of the frame. With zero inclination, you live for a last bit of posture around the corner, and contrary to expectations, life goes on afterwards without incident.
Later, much later, you realize that such an inertial bullet engine is immortal. Probably would
it can continue to run under water and calmly save yourself to the shore on the long ribbon.
All excitement therefore in vain: You can advance
Downshifting corners, but not because the Enfield has everything ?? except starting? done without theater in the fourth and higher speeds anyway ?? all Langhuber ?? vibrating violently
abhorred. The two-valve engine feels good up to around 90 km / h.
He can do it up to 130. Only in the long term no one can take it.
Five minutes may be recorded as a success while maintaining physical and mental integrity. Special attention is given to old amalgam seals and even more: the feet. Which sometimes shake the pegs unnoticed.
90 as discussed? and experience more than any modern burner can convey up to just before the speed of light: a chassis that is hardly up to your cornering skills. Brakes that just manage to stop you. Tires that capitulate under your lean angles. Border area!
And you thought a Kawasaki ZX-10R or Suzuki GSX-R 1000 would mark the ultimate pioneering post in a two-wheeler career. Instead, of all things, this Stone Age object from England, which has been in Madras in southern India since the 60s
is built unchanged. A brand-fresh classic, set out to revive completely forgotten perspectives, to bring us a little closer to the ground. When, brothers
And sisters, did we get the weird idea that a motorcycle should run for two or three hundred? But please, without straining too much, you still have it in the evening
what else. And then the big shame because that
Life rushes past you without a trace.
Think about it! Get your impressions back. If necessary, hang up the plastic toy and watch
one of the now 102 Enfield dealers.
