These Royal Enfields are being re-manufactured in India, as the Enfield
Bullet.  A friend bought one, wanting to re-live his youth .  Imagined it
would be the old style British Bike with new reliability.
Found it was old style, but without the quality in the metal used.  The
engine leaked oil - not through the joints but through the (porous!)
castings.
