That Royal Enfield in the article is a very nice bike but the price tag isn't very attractive. I'm going to keep an eye out for a used one while looking for a TU. I think you guys have convinced me to stay away from vintage standards for the reliability factor alone.

Doc Joe: It's more an emotional decision than an objective one. I simply want a bike and have wanted one for a long time. Using one for a warm weather commuter is a great opportunity to do this and get it out of my system before a mortgage and children muddy up the finances.
