first of all, thanks a bunch for all the replies. ill never tire of saying howmuch i love this friggin forum!!
Don't get me wrong guys. i certainly see the romantic side of touring india on an enfield, and if i had 6 months to spare, it would be a no-call. but i only have a month, maybe a month and a half, and after reading all the reports, im afraid id be spending a great deal of my trip trying to put back bits that have fallen off. that's the factor that makes me lean toward the jap bikes, its simply an issue of time. nonetheless, i havent exactly written it off yet, and im still open to suggestions.
as far as lending/renting/buying from a private... how long do u reckon it would take to arrange the deal once in place? do you guys know anyone i could contact in advance to start planning ahead?
So far i have contacted lalli singh, who has a buyback scheme for enfeilds, and who comes highly recommended, but so far no answer.
