I'm a big fan of the Enfields ... especially the UK derived 350/500 singles (though I know two riders who love their more modernTwins) ... definitely a 'hang-over' from a previous time as are Morgans.... and great fun to ride.

Putting my Ten-Pen'orth into the Harley saga ... for my money Harley haven't been the same since the demise of the Shovelhead .... and like the British bikes before them a big chunk of their 'shortcomings' derive from them being a simple bike you can fettle yourself that survived into a time when less owners had the skills for that and the competition was designed to be exclusively 'Dealer-maintained' .... it was noticeable as a Triumph/BSA rider that as soon as the Japanese bikes fell down the food chain into the hands of riders who couldn't afford to buy new and have every detail coddled by dealer workshops their reliability advantage quickly disappeared.
