2006 Royal Enfield homecoming pictures

Posted on January 15, 2012 by admin

Before achieving “nirvanna as a “bulleteer”; I attended the 2006 Royal Enfield Annual homecoming rally athe U.S. distributor(Classic motorworks)in Faribault Minnesota. Unfortunately;I had to ride my 1981 Honda Goldwing gl1100 interstate to the rally .Fortunately I was still warmly accepted by the Royal enfield enthusiasts attending. And split a campsite with a genteman on a 500 bullet from Oklahoma.

40056

George Helms( the older gentle man arm wrestling) was there. Proprietor of “Helms cycle” in Malaca Mn. he started as a mechanic with the “Indian acceptance corp”(Chicago) in 1937; he worked on the Indian scout and the”chief” big v-twins. George was involved with Royal Enfield since 1955.
Sadly George has passed.

Horizon’s unlimited”Achievable dream” boxed set

Posted on December 18, 2011 by admin

A motorcycle travel favorite of mine is Susan and Grant Johnsons’ Horizons unlimited.com
a site based on a community of long distance/ around the world motorcycle travelers.Their dvd series”The Achievable Dream” satisfies winter wanderlust while your Wisconsin machine is “stabil’d” and sitting on the battery tender(in lieu of the snow blower). The boxed set gave me something to enjoyable watch while off my feet for a necessary 10 days of a surgery recovery. Enjoyable and informative talks and slide shows from annual travelers meetings by people who have done it or are still out there “doing it”.
