This is Ben's 'Pull Your Finger Out' Bobber, built for and while he was involved with Sideburn magazine. Over these last number of years the Cafe Racer craze has caused a backlash from people who get annoyed by ' yet another standard bike' being modified (particularly in the Guzzi world at least) and accusing the owners/builders of owning impractical, hardly used bikes. Well, Ben (he of the Zagato / Davida advert Guzzi fame) can't be accused of any of that.
Here are a few pics of the Enfield as it was built and then for Ben's foray into the Welsh countryside a few weeks back. Also a pic of his world famous Guzzi outside a shop that I had around 1999. There is some luggage removed from the pile already and note the 8mm bolts / passenger footrest as yes that seat hump was the perch for a young lady who was travelling with him. That includes a trip from Amsterdam and then up to Liverpool. Fair play!!
The Royal Enfield is For Sale so if your interested then I can pass on your details
