I’m thinking of build up my old royal enfield
It’s a 700 twin has anyone any spares or know where I could parts from
It was left to me by my dad and it is about time I got it running again

Should have got some while you were there!
Thats really helpful… Your such a troll!!
Wow! - First you are thinking of buying a Ducati, then you unearth an RE from nowhere …Constellation? Meteor? …whatever - some bike!
What year? Model? What’s needed to be done on it? anything missing?
PS the Ace has got one in it’s display area (Connie I think) Famous for having started the tabloids in their ‘hate biker scum’ rant of 1961-2 ( the consequences of that being that Sid and Doris England virtually spat on and ostracised bikers for 25 years )
Here it is…
The royal enfield is a bike that’s been in the back of my garage after my dad died for about 8 years now
He left it to me it’s all in bits and most parts are going to require some working on
It’s a constellation 700 from about 1959
I have seen the one at the ace and I guess that and time passing I should start to put it back on the road again
But I look on it as a long term project
I do have one or to bikes that I ride but am looking for something different
That where the Ducati comes in I can’t buy it tomorrow I don’t have the money but its something to work for
.

Ps as I get older my goal become smaller because time runs out

That’s the definition of a happy life ain’t it?
To have something you desire to be just out of your reach…
ps if it wasn’t for the sentimental connection I’d advise selling Connie for parts and using money to buy a Ducati/MV Agusta/Triumph 675…but I would wouldn’t I?:D:cool:
To be honest looking at all the parts
I was thinking the same but don’t know if i can

Pin - I guess you meant to put the above in this thread.
Yep I know where you’re coming from but the good news is they won’t depreciate and will be worth more in a years time guaranteed…just go out and give them a good soaking in ACF-50 and they’ll last longer than you will.
Nobody lost money in investing in Classic bikes and parts (especially British) and 99.9% made money on them
