More Work On The Enfield
Got the seat back, exhaust is mocked up just need to tack it then pull it back off and weld it – oh and make tidier hangers.

Enfield Update
Decided to get stuck in to the Interceptor, the seat is away at the upholsterers being re-shaped and covered in black with a grey top, while I’m waiting for that I thought I might as well hack in to the exhaust so I bought some Hinkley Triumph T100 mufflers for 200 bux – grab the angle grinder and rock n roll!!
Royal Enfield Interceptor
Yes I bought a new toy that didn’t stay stock for very long, a 2019 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. Scrapped the ‘Orange Crush’ paint and replaced it with a mix of Sherbourne Green and Voodoo Blue with Alaskan White with Black pinstripe, added taller bars, and replaced the Amal knock off grips for more comfy ones.
Might look at redoing the seat and replacing those bloody awful mufflers. Still have the T100SR, that’ll never be sold!

Gwladys the T100SR
This is Gwladys the 1966 Triumph T100SR.
Why call it Gwladys? When I first got it it needed a little work and I was talking to my Mam and asked her if she’d ever been for a ride on a bike as there are numerous pictures of her sitting on various bikes my brother or myself owned, her response was ‘no not unless they’ve got training wheels you won’t get me on one’. After a brief discussion she agreed to let me take her for a ride around the front and back garden when the trumpy was finished.
Mam passed away before I got it finished so in honour of her I called the bike “Gwladys” and told family members that it must never be sold, just handed down – I’ll come back and haunt the bugger that sells it after I pop my clogs!!
Slight change of appearance to the VN1500

New Stable Buddy For The Tiger
Picked up this 1995 VN800A for the princely sum of $1600 – it doesn’t look like this anymore, repainted it black then covered it in coarse metal-flake followed by 6 coats of Candy Apple Blue, 12″ up apes on 2.5″ risers and a braided brake line.
Not too sure if I’m going to airbrush it yet, only time and boredom will tell.
Oh the joys of playing silly buggers 😛
