DZLBike. Still got that diesel Royal Enfield? I still have my Enfield Bullet. I to like joking about about motorcycles. As it is popular to go after HDs I am used to it. My first question to a Honda/Suzuki/Yamaha/Hocobogo owner after they make comment is: "Have you ever owned one"? Invariably the bashful answer is "No". The only thing I say after that is: "Now I know why you are riding a rice grinder...you don't know any better". As far as sound goes? The only machine that does not sound like a mental retard humming in a Mason jar is an HD. However, I finally got a big Japanese Look-A-Like; a Suzuki Boulevard. My eldest son gave it to me with only 371 miles on it. It's a pretty nice machine. I ride it all the time but not to anyplace where someone might know me. They're sorta like a fat girls, can be fun but ya don't want anybody see you riding one. Hell ,the Asians were not even successful in making an engine sound like a Triumph 650 and have had less success with imitating a HD V-Twin.
