It is like if you gotta ask then you can't afford it.

FastDoc · 03-27-2014, 04:11 PM

I can afford several.

I prefer to spend my money on things with internal combustion.

Much easier for me.

And that's why we're all in a China-bike forum

Heck, every china bike is much more predictable, trustworthy and "cost-effective" than one of those extras. Man, if only they could cook...

They can't cook but they can take your through the drive thru.

katoranger · 03-28-2014, 12:15 PM

I don't think I ever tried a drive thru on a bike. I did with a modified cummins diesel and had to shut the engine off.

I frequently visit the drive-through windows of restaurants on my motorcycles.

If I have my travel trunk attached to the bike, I place the food in the trunk. If I don't have my travel trunk with me, I stuff the bag of food inside my jacket.

Ditto, but usually just at the Walgreens. If I'm going to eat, I get off the bike.

katoranger · 03-29-2014, 09:15 AM

I guess I did use the bank drive up.

I made it back to Oregon and finally took delivery of the Continental GT, overall I'm happy with it but it does need some refinements. I've ordered a 7" headlight, bar end mirrors and a new exhaust, I've never used a power commander before but the dealer suggests that I order one. His claim is that the bike with have a 20% increase in horsepower with the power commander and custom exhaust (20%=6 horsepower). The rear end really needs to be cleaned up also. I've had no chance to ride it yet, I'll post some photos when I get it on the road in a couple of weeks.

Purty.

FastDoc · 04-01-2014, 09:31 PM

Very beautiful. It will go faster without the billboard on the rear fender.

SpudRider · 04-02-2014, 12:15 AM

Egads!

That license plate holder is a billboard!

Thanks for posting the update and the photographs, OG.

The Royal Enfield looks great!

Weldangrind · 04-02-2014, 12:24 AM

That's a sweet little bike. When you say clean up the rear end, do you mean to remove everything aft of the cowl? I might even consider shortening the rear hoop to match the cowl and losing the rear fender.

I'd love to see it in person some time.

Weldangrind · 04-02-2014, 12:29 AM

A reverse megaphone would be the perfect complement.
