So Royal Enfield is trying to make a few bucks on nostalgia by reminding us what they did during WW II, with a fat military contract, by taking a modern bike in no way related to the WW II Flea and slapping on some decals and canvas bags.

Oh, and making them exclusive by limiting the production to two colors and 1000 units. Unless of course some zombie virus causes a clamor of demand at which point they will announce a 2nd edition.

No reflection on Carruthers, and thanks to him for the information. I'm just wary of nostalgia driven campaigns because I remember the good old days and they weren't that great.

I'm sure Mr Glover has fond memories of the war 75 years ago as a kid, and probably nothing in the rest of his 93 years has pumped that kind of adrenaline again.
