#1 | Winter project datum

I know it's summer but I am thinking ahead and fancy a winter garage project.
Now I'm retired and have reasonable mechanical skills I might take on a rebuild or custom job.
What should I get? Be loyal to the brand and look out for an old BM or choose a good old British classic to tinker with?
Anybody any ideas or contemplating a similar task?

Well, you could buy a new Royal Enfield and tinker with that over the winter.

A friend of mine is running biking tours in India on the Royal Enfield.
Not sure how good they are but they must be tough to survive out there

There is a reason why almost every small town in India has a Royal Enfield repair shop.
