Three

Well I did it but not without a lot of help!  Jeff, Mike, Marty and my brother got it loaded.  Lissa helped me with the paperwork.....this Royal Enfield is no longer at GoMoto in Minneapolis.


Thanks for the photos and help Kev!

I put roughly 60 miles on it in the afternoon and gave it a taste of what to expect in the coming months.


Not in its new neighborhood 24 hours and already muddy!


Put that one away and needed to confirm that the 2 new tires on the KLR would go round and round....which they do.

    1. Thanks David, it wasn't spotless when I brought it home and things haven't improved in that department but it certainly is taking me where I want to go!

    1. Thanks Sonja, the RE w/car seemed like the perfect combination to satisfy my sidecar interest and it's doing that in spades.

  5. Nice looking Royal Enfield. Think of all you can carry in the sidecar? Camping gear...extra large coolers for lunch.....

    1. Richard, I'm not quite sure why you were holding back on sharing with me how much fun this was going to be.
