Book Description
Royal Enfield's famous motor - 'made like a gun' - hints at the factory's origins, but few appreciate that it is the oldest motorcycle manufacturer in existence that can boast of continuous production. In addition, its famous Bullet can claim the longest motorcycle production run of all time. Greg Pullen charts the rise, fall and rise again of Royal Enfield, from the company's pre-motorcycle beginnings in Redditch, through the impact of two World Wars, the importance of exports to India and subsequent establishment of factories there, to changes in ownership, recently launched models and new concept bikes for the future. With 190 colour photographs, this book includes: the V-twins, from the 1930s K and KX range to a glimpse of the concept V-twin shown in 2018; the singles, from 2-strokes to side-valve 4-strokes, and the ohv version that first used the Bullet name, through to the new singles built in India. The British Bullet: its arrival in 1948 and production in the UK, the original orders from India and subsequent setting up of production there are discussed. The 250s, (1958-68), including the Turbo Twins, and the big twins, from the 1948 500 Town to the final interceptor in 1970, including the 800cc prototype and the Clymer Indians are covered. The new twins: the 650cc Royal Enfield interceptor and Continental GT twins and the Bobber concept bike are discussed. Competition success is covered, with notable ISDT achievements, star rider Johnny Brittain and racing the big twins, and Geoff Duke in the GP5. Finally, the British factories and the new opportunities with the Indian factories are remembered.

Book Description
Have you ever dreamed about getting on your motorcycle and traveling across the country? Are you envious when you see motorcyclists with far away out-of-state plates and wish that could be you? Are you tired of fantasizing about taking that dream motorcycle trip and want to turn that dream into a reality? Since I began sharing my motorcycle travel photos and videos on social media, I've received countless emails and questions from people interested in motorcycle touring but with no idea where to begin. That's why I decided to write Motorcyclist's Guide to Travel. I want to be able to share this information with as many motorcyclists as possible. This book isn't about motorcycle travel theory or philosophy. I share with you the exact same methods and steps I use to plan and execute my own motorcycle trips all throughout the US. I cover how to plan and prepare for the trip, what to do during the trip as well as what to do after you return home. I go over different types of bikes and modifications you can make to them to make them more "touring worthy." I also cover all the different types of riding safety gear and what to look for when purchasing. And finally for those of you who don't know where you want to ride; that's ok. I also show you how come up with your own travel ideas. Motorcyclist's Guide to Travel will give you all the information you'll need to finally take that epic trip you've been dreaming about.
