Bon voyage, it`s a worldwide forum with a fine mix of contributors. At the speed of the internet India is still quite close,

Hg I`m vintage `52.

Ha ha, I agree with John. I always take bins and a scope on hols but never use them. I always use a camera & lens as a scope then snap the pic. Mrs Cedric uses her Bushnell's to spot for me.

According to Charlie Drake "Connect the negatiff to the positiff and be careful not to fluctuate.

Now that does make me feel flippin old.

these two are with a K30 and Sigma 150-500 OS. Straight from the camera with a small crop.

Might have made in a curry shop but it`s the only one in the world that`s been in continuous production since Noah was planning the ark. And! I can fiddle around with it and fix it for hardly any exchange of drinking tokens. It`s a shame the later ones have lean burn engines and fuel injection `cos you can`t fiddle around much. Best thing though is the sound, big fistful of throttle in first and second in a narrow village street and the noise is wicked. Not had any probs apart from a stuffed battery and a few failed lamps but that would be expected on any 10 year old bike.

HG, remember Castrol R? What a smell.

Took the Enfield out and about the lanes from Ipswich to Felixstowe area today. Was sorting out a new circular cycle route for next year. Mrs Cedric heads up a local charity and an annual cycle ride is a good way of bringing in some dosh. Several old boys had a good look when i throttled up past the local golf course. A 500 single with a sports exhaust blatting along an open lane is awesome sounding. "They don`t make em like they used to."

Talking of Bullets, I`ve got to amuse myself tomorrow so it could be a ride through the lanes on the old Enfield as Mrs Cedric is working.

I bought an adaptor (new boxed for £10)so I can fit my K mounts. Not because I want too all of the time. Just gives an option. I don`t agree about poorer quality. I can`t believe I bought the Samsung but having held, tried and connected I am amazed at the IQ and colour rendition. Having said that though I would still very much like a K5IIs.
