Isla Posted August 24, 2023 Posted August 24, 2023 Just saying Hi before asking away my questions on another part of the forum. After having a licence for many years but no bike, I have recently had 'yet another midlife crisis', happened upon a new RE Classic 350 and absolutely love her to bits. We have shared 1750 miles of fun together this summer and am looking forward to many more 5 Quote

Old-codger Posted August 24, 2023 Posted August 24, 2023 Welcome to the forum I love the look of the Enfield classic. 1 Quote
Isla Posted August 24, 2023 Author Posted August 24, 2023 Re Classic - here she is last week in Shap on our way up to Edinburgh for the weekend with Enfields own pannier racks & Lomo Adventure Panniers. I named her Biscuit cos' that's what the colour reminds me of. (I like biscuits possibly too much ) 5 Quote
Guest Posted August 24, 2023 Posted August 24, 2023 Looks lovely. You're in the right place for biscuit chat. More biscuit talk than bikes. Quite partial to an anzac myself. Quote
Isla Posted August 24, 2023 Author Posted August 24, 2023 Shortbread, Dark Choccy Digestives, anything with Ginger. And yes Anzac ... veeery nice. Haven't seen them for sale in ages though! Quote

bonio Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 Welcome in! Very nice bike, looks like great fun. Abernethy? (the biscuit of course, not the place) Quote
RideWithStyles Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) its ok. Just advice. yea not good for the helmet, Highly likely to fall off and damage the helmet, especially round bike meets or public areas. If the bike gets knocked over/falls the helmet is the first thing it will damage and could scrap it addinf insult to the bikes damage youll have replace. Rubbing/ wear/ introduce dead flies -and road grime to the interior , plus long time pressures the softer crumble zone EPS liner which is just like polystyrene. Looks like you have a rack or brace bar with side rack and bungie cords. if its just the bar brace, place helmet on the rear seat with the bungies crossed left to right through the hole with the visor lifted up slightly out of the way. doesnt have to be tight just secure if the bike goes over its stays in the center away from the floor or stops the helmet being knocked off, thats safer.
