Cristina Fitzsimmons graduated valedictorian from MBA@UNC—and she is proof that one can successfully juggle school, work and family while pursuing a degree.
George Yanez is from North Carolina and now works as an associate product manager at ReverbNation (a fast-growing tech startup that provides online tools to music industry professionals). Yanez earned his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Virginia Tech and spent 11 years working as a hardware engineer. He completed the MBA@UNC program in December 2013.
"When UNC Kenan-Flagler set out to create the MBA@UNC program, they took their mission seriously," says Daniel Hager. "They demonstrated a real commitment to doing everything they can to make not only this program a success, but online learning in general. They are really shaping what an online degree can truly be."
Brian Edwards, 34, had co-authored two patents for metallic materials by the time he was 26, working as an engineer in the U.S. Army. Back then, he had no plans to switch careers. But that all changed in 2006 when he started a new job in North Carolina and led a team to improve manufacturing of materials for jet engines.
Dr. Julie Goodliffe was a professor at UNC Charlotte when she started the MBA@UNC program. Having enjoyed a successful academic research career in molecular genetics, she realized that she had gone as far as she could in academia. With a desire to explore ways to use her science background in business, she started looking at MBA programs.
"When I was in consulting, the path forward was very clear," says Brian McGrath. "It's an up-and-out model. When I switched to a different industry, I realized that if you want to advance you can — or if you want to stay where you are, you can."

Easy to install, good value. The appearance got 4 stars because it's dull looking. That is the price point, no doubt. Performance is the reason and it does deliver but, it's up in the very high side of the RPM's. With the 8 speed transmission, you won't find your self there often. I plan on a performance exhaust next to open up the other end of the motor. This was a reasonably good upgrade.

Professional Ratings: 95 Wine Spectator, 93 International Wine Cellar, 92 The Wine Advocate
Region: Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France
Varietal: Rhone Red Blends
Style: Big & Bold
Item no. 113285
Parcels of old vines 60-100 years in age, planted in soils of great character and complexity, provide the grapes for this wine.
Ripe, with the lush crème de cassis and crushed plum fruit of the vintage, showing excellent focus and drive, with racy acidity and taut, licorice-tinged structure. Turns flashy and exotic on the finish, with mulled blueberry, incense and fruitcake notes that are laid over impressive, graphite-filled grip. Best from 2010 through 2030. 1,665 cases made
Dark red. Exotic aromas of black raspberry compote, cherry-vanilla, spicecake and potpourri. Showing a lot of sexy oak but the deep, sweet red and dark berry flavors appear to be up to the lumber. Creamy in texture, with strong finishing spiciness and an echo of luscious dark berries. An extremely sexy wine that drinks very well now.
The luxury cuvee, the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Boisrenard, has a very saturated purple color, a big, sweet nose of toast, chocolate, black currants, and black cherries, with hints of licorice and lavender. Lush as well as intriguingly spicy, this multi-layered, beautifully textured and voluptuous Chateauneuf du Pape seems surprisingly accessible for this cuvee, which normally need 2-5 years of bottle age to round into drinkable shape. However, there is plenty of richness, and the wine should evolve for 15 or more years.
Rating: 92+

In Memoriam
Remembering Benzion:
Many years have passed since the premature death of a Melbourne Betari, Benzion Eisikovich. His sister Varda gives us some background about Benzion.
"Benzion was in Israel with his wife and five children. It was while he was in Israel that it was detected that he had brain tumour. He died September 15,1993 at the age of 53 in Melbourne after approx. 24 years (of) suffering from (the) repeated growth of the brain tumour. He left behind three sons and two daughters.".
Thank you, Varda, for providing this information which may have been unknown for many of us.

Survivors' Get Together in Israel:
Peter Keeda writes: "At one of our regular survivors' dinners In April 2014, it was decided that we would have a dinner in Israel in April 2015. The usual format is men-only but for this special occasion spouses were also invited. We did not regret it … The wheels were set in motion and, lo and behold, on 18 April 2015 there was a gathering in Tel Aviv at Fitzroy (in the Gordon Hotel) for a sumptuous evening meal overlooking the Tel Aviv shoreline.

Aussie Betar Get-Together
Twenty old mates from Down Under gathered at the Goldstein's beautiful & spacious home for a delicious lunch, conviviality & a wonderful afternoon. Solly entertained us with his more than proficient playing of music by the maestros on his beautiful grand piano. And we enjoyed being together & seeing old mates immensely. Everyone looked happy & well, which was good to see. After a scrumptious Arvo-tea, we made our farewells & Miriam promised she'd have the next "Get- Together" in August!!"
From Miriam: "Great to be with you all guys, hope we'll have a "get-together" at my home in August, sometime between 15th to 25th, I'll be in touch on my return to Israel. Bye for now & have a happy & healthy two months, love Miriam."

Photos requested
Mervyn Doobov is requesting help from anyone who has specific photos of his late wife Sue (Gans). Here is an extract:
"My late wife, whose name was then Suzanne Gans, attended the Machon in 1961, in the South Machzor (she was from Brisbane, Australia). She was in Israel from February 1961 to end-September (as she had to return home to her dying father).
I would like to find some photos of her during that period as I am putting together some papers for our children and grand-children about that part of her life. I have only one such picture (a not very good one).

Bob Sitsky book:
Bob and Larry Sitsky were born and grew up in Harbin, China. Bob's book details his family's travels and history which he published specifically for his and Larry's grandchildren and the generations that follow. Included is their history with Betar and are many photos both of their family and the Betar membership.

From Bob: "However, you may prefer to use this link :
Growing up in Tientsin
[The above] is a Jewish-Genealogy/Harbin website which covers Jews who lived in the north of China. I have written the book primarily for the family - it was never my intention to make $ out of it. I only have printed 50 hard copies - mainly for the family + those people who lived in Tientsin. So I only have a few copies left for people to buy - the cost is $40 plus postage (which would be around $30 to USA or Europe).

Congressman Dennis Kucinich commandeered the House floor for an hour Wednesday to discuss "in detail the Congressional and White House efforts to privatize the oil of Iraq." Before he spoke, he announced the speech in a public e-mail. The talk is excerpted here.

A report released by the International Atomic Energy Agency reveals that Iran is moving forward with its nuclear program, in defiance of sanctions imposed in March by the United Nations. The watchdog agency says Tehran is obstructing the IAEA's investigative efforts to monitor suspicious nuclear activities, according to the BBC.
The Democratic leadership in Congress is close to a deal with the White House to provide funding for the war without a timetable for withdrawal. The legislation will include benchmarks for U.S. aid, close to $8 billion in domestic spending and a minimum-wage increase, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has indicated that she cannot bring herself to vote for a bill that doesn't set a withdrawal date for U.S. troops.
A pair of gay flamingos with a yen for parenthood have adopted an abandoned baby chick at a nature preserve in Britain. Homosexuality is not uncommon among flamingos, and males are able to produce a type of milk for chicks. Fernando and Carlos have been mates for six years.
After six months, a potential lead has emerged in the murder case of Russian expatriate Alexander Litvinenko (pictured), who died in England last November after allegedly being poisoned with radioactive polonium-210. However, the suspect, former KGB officer Andrei Lugovoi, denies that he had a hand in Litvinenko's death, according to the BBC.

Angelina Jolie and paramour Brad Pitt hit the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of their latest joint effort, "A Mighty Heart," which focuses on Mariane Pearl, played by Jolie, as she weathers the abduction and murder of her husband, American journalist Daniel Pearl, in 2002.
Iraqi Defense Minister Abdul-Qader al-Obeidi revealed Monday that his government is planning for a rapid pullout of American forces: "The army plans on the basis of a worst-case scenario so as not to allow any security vacuum. ... There are meetings with political leaders on how we can deal with a sudden pullout."
Nilofar Bakhtiar, Pakistan's federal minister for tourism, is in hot water with clerics in her home country for hugging a skydiving instructor who guided her through a tandem parachute jump for charity last month. Now, after striking such an "obscene" pose, she's had to resign from Pakistan's Cabinet.
Although it was sadly not an isolated incident, the bloody death by stoning of a 17-year-old girl has sparked controversy about sectarian strife and gender relations in Iraq, which some believe have taken a sharp turn for the worse since the beginning of the war in 2003.

Anyone who has seen "The People vs. Larry Flynt," or anyone who knows about the famous Supreme Court battle between Flynt (center) and the late Rev. Jerry Falwell (right) over the First Amendment, would probably be shocked to know that the two former enemies became friends after appearing together on "Larry King Live" 10 years ago.

My husband and I just returned from a 2-night stay in a presidential suite for our 20th anniversary. I read the reviews here, so I had a decent idea what to expect. The room was very clean, and the bed and pillows lived up to their reputation - very comfy. The shower was amazing. You need to wait a minute for the water to get hot, but once it does it's perfect, and very relaxing! Unlike one reviewer, we actually found the jacuzzi to be quieter than we expected. But the jacuzzi didn't hold a candle to the pool - it was outstanding. Remember being a child in a bath tub and wishing the tub was bigger? Well, here it is! The pool ran between 93 - 95 degrees, and was perfect for aching muscles. It was also large enough to get a little exercise in, yet small enough that we never lost a sense of closeness. Absolute perfection.
Room service was fantastic. The breakfast they provide consists of muffins and danishes warmed to perfection, along with a carafe of coffee and some orange juice. We ordered a pizza one night and that too was delivered with great professionalism.
We're already planning our next visit...

I saw this 4 volume series by John Watson on Amazon. I'm about an 850 rating. Would these books be too much right now at my level?
Yes. If you want a good book on general opening ideas, pick up a copy of the FCO. Watson's series is more than any player under 1600 needs. I'm at 1500 OTB, own the series, and it's way more than I need.
Thanks, King. I dropped the FCO into my shopping cart.

Rob and I are both under the weather today, so pardon if we're not up to our usual military-grade precision. Swiss watches we are, of normal. But today our clockworks are busy churning up phlegm. Gross! Why am I... So anyway, what do you guys know about Royal Enfield motorcycles? I have been toying with the idea of getting a motorcycle for a while, and I'll probably just try to pick up an old Honda or BMW or Yamaha or Suzuki or whatever since I haven't ridden since I was a kid on the farm, and even then not much. But then I saw this Bullet 500 and it's a real looker, plus its MSRP is only $5,500, which may be about $4k more than I intended to spend, but it's certainly not wildly expensive. And it's apparently got a modern engine, too, and isn't just a cast-for-cast recreation like those Russian BMW clones—Urals, right?—so you don't have to deal with weird stuff like paper air filters and the like. [via Uncrate] Probably a stupid idea. Parts are probably a bear to get. I really should just get an old Magna or something and call it a day.
Royal Enfield Military 500 motorcycle

It's beautiful, but an old Honda CB100 would also bring the smiles for lots less money.
"Modern" is a relative term here. The new Enfields are updated, but nowhere near as modern as a new Honda, etc. If you buy one, you will have to do more maintenance as a matter of course than if you buy an actual "modern" brand.
The Urals have been modernized too. They are still 1960s technology for the most part (updated from 1940s tech!). Lots of folks ride them and love them, but if you just want to get on and go I'd look for a Nighthawk or whatever.
What Wordguy said. They're Indian built, to Indian standards, which means (no offense) high maintenance. Parts availability isn't bad; you have to order it unless you have a dealer in town but they make plenty of 'em. It's just that you'll need those parts a lot.
I just recently upgraded from a GS500e; not as cool looking as this bike but dead simple mechanically and a great starter. I sold mine for $2,000 and it had less than 5,000 miles on it. Similar and cheaper deals are out there often.
The Ninja 250 is also an excellent starter bike, and is a lot more fun than the 250cc engine would imply. It's faster than the Royal Enfield, that's for sure.
For a 'cruiser' type starter, the Honda Rebel 250 is a good choice. They aren't available as cheaply as the other two I mentioned, but are super reliable.
A CB100 would be a blast, but any of the small CB series bikes are going to be pretty outdated mechanically and will require more maintenance than a more modern sibling.
All I know is, I never even saw one of these bikes until I came to Japan. There seem to be plenty here, so my guess is if you need parts, you could always take a trip here.
And agreed with previous comments- don't know a whole lot about the specifics in engineering, but a look at them & I can pick out details that sugguest they use old tech. Might not be worth the hassle, but if older stuff is what you dig (hell, knuckleheads & panheads are popular in the US but they are OLD tech), then maybe it's worth it. They do look cool.
I did a lot of looking at the Enfields about 6 years ago. We seriously considered one for my wife before she lost interest in riding motorcycles. At 500cc, it's highway legal and will easily handle standard speeds. It's a simple design, I would suspect that there's a dealership or bike shop that can get parts in most major cities. Everything that I've ever seen or read has been pretty positive.
As has been said, they're Indian built, to Indian standards, which means that any village blacksmith in India can fix it. Here, not so much. But they do sound truly awesome (or at least the old ones did, dunno about the newer models).
…actually, sorry for the double post, but THIS Royal Enfield is hella cool. I *WOULD* buy this, if I had the cash- looks like something Steve McQueen would casually hop on and drive away from Nazis with.
These are new? Where are they selling this model new? The only ones I see are old Enfields in the shops here.
They are such good looking bikes. I mean you can sort of say an older bike like you were thinking of, is like a new Enfield. Which isn't a bad thing, they're just a simpler kind of bike.
If you buy an older bike there are a lot of unknowns of course. If something went wrong on this, you would have to a little less detective work trying to diagnose the problem.
I know with Urals, there is a HUGE community of owners who are always willing to help when problems arise. It may be this way with Enfields too?
Me and my father picked this guy up last year.
I am personally a fan of older bikes in general just because of the styling.
Allow me to be the first to chime in from an actual owner, of the Military model, no less.
First of all, don't let the naysayers fool you, this is one hell of a bike. If you're buying one new, or used, the only thing you need to do is go through, and check everything when you get it. A hastily assembled bike is fine, until it makes the transit across the pacific, in a crate, for thousands of miles. Something is bound to vibrate loose. So yes, check your nuts and wires.
Step two, enjoy.
I bought my bike used, from someone who had just finished breaking it in. 990 miles when I got it. That week, I made a 251 mile trek to a hotrod show in York, PA, without incident. It's got mean acceleration, and keeps cool at a stead 70mph, which, incidentally, is about it's top end. I've pushed the hell out of the bike, and the only reason I had trouble with it was that I put it down. Ever since then, I've had trouble with the oil overflow. Maybe there's too much. And if you lay the bike down, it gets into the air box, which clogs the filter, and kills the bike. I've put the bike down twice. Once gingerly at a speed under 5mph, which caused the oil problem, and once at about 40mph. There are a few small scratches, and I need a new brake lever, but it still runs like a champ.
And don't be discouraged by a 500c single banger, it's got more balls than you'd think. If you must ride like an asshole, and accelerate as if you're in a race, the Enfield can handle it, even with a full load on the back (tent, suitcase, supplies). It's the perfect backpacking bike. Plus, the built in steel saddlebags are great (though not waterproof).
Rob, if you'd like to see mine, I can bring out it sometime. I'm in Pittsburgh, which has some of the worst hills in the country, and this bike is a pleasure to ride them.
I put 3K on the bike in about 3 months, and the only reason I've had any trouble was putting it down. I'm resolving the oil issue by moving the battery, and putting in an oil tank. Then, it'll all be peachy keen.
There's also something to be said about the wow factor of the bike. I always get a bit of joy out of watching people gawk in amazement at the bike. I've spent way too much time explaining the history of the company, the Flying Flea, and the allure of tax breaks and cheap labor in British colonies to British companies in the mid 20th century. It's worth at least taking a ride. And believe it or not, there's actually a lot of parts that can interchange with, or be replaced by parts from other motorcycles, so it's not quite the gloom and doom that you would think. And there's always parts available online from Royal Enfield, should anything go wrong.
In closing, don't discount a bike because of it's origins. It's no worse than any single cylinder 500cc motorbike. In fact, that's what gives it it's charm.
Yay, i love those bikes! Best thing: they build it here in Germany with a diesel motor! It's almost 10k$ and never reaches 62mph but I think that it's an awesome machine. And it gets you 100+mpg. Oh, and they claim two hours of service (oil, filters, greasing, valves) per 5000 km of driving. Except cleaning
http://www.motorradmanufaktur.de (only in german…)
Get a Honda from the seventies, an old cb or cl. Get a running one, and the engines are pretty bullet proof. I like my 100, but it doesn't have much in the way of guts, my 350 is a lot more fun. and then there's always the 750…
P.S. McQueen's motorcycle was a triumph bonneville from the sixties, so this would look MORE like something he should have been riding than what he actually was.
Every time I talk myself out of a bike, they pop up somewhere else. I've been salivating over old Indians for years, and I've been looking at the new ones. I lusted after a 40's US Army Harley (It's not leaking… it's marking its territory….). And now this.
For the price of a new Bullet you can buy a real vintage British bike. That the conclusion I came to and bought an original Triumph. The maintenance will be the same and you'll probably get a better bike. These really aren't neophyte motorcycles. You HAVE to know how to maintain and tune them.
Better still, as mentioned above, buy an old Honda. A cb350 twin from the late 60s or early 70s is a true vintage bike, more powerful than a stock Bullet, and very cheap and easy to to maintain. They're readily available as well, a very good one will run less than $2k.
Actually, they've got a new "Classic" model that has been completely rebuilt from the ground up to be a modern bike with the original looks, with the only real exception being the disc brake in front. Personally, I'm willing to accept that
Check out the article here:
They're even fuel injected now.
Cycle World recently reviews the 2009 incarnation of the Royal Enfield: http://www.cycleworld.com/article.asp?section_id=3&article_id=1051
I love the look of the bike and relative simplicity of the design. Everything I read tells me that this is not a case of "inferior manufacturing" just because it is Indian-made, and you have a testimonial above to support that.
However, the suggestions above to buy a 250/500 Japanese bike are very good ones – if this your first foray into road bikes and you are looking for reliable regular transport than the Royal Enfield is perhaps not the best choice. Buying new is probably not a good choice either.
Riding a bike is fun. Commuting and relying on a bike is a whole other level of commitment. Lots of people enjoy the former, but not so many the latter.
Luckyfink, that would be fantastic. I've been eyeing something unnecessarily swish for my own first bike (My wife, Heather, approves of very few motorcycles, but she does approve of the Ducati Monster) but that thing is damn fine.
Rob, you are the guy in Pittsburgh, right? I'm ordering an oil tank as we speak, since the weather is fine, and would be happy to bring it out for a run as soon as I get that puppy strapped on.
If you're willing to spend $5.5k, get an SV650. No, you won't have the flash classic looks, but you'll get a dependable, comfortable, fun v-twin.
And Beamish above has it right: Buy a bike based on how you're going to use it. I dearly miss my 749, but the 696 I traded it in for gets a helluva lot more use.
Get yourself a 1973 BMW R75/5. Retro styling with an indestructable engine. You can ride one of these until the end of your life, then your kids can ride it. Drum brakes are old school, but if it's an issue you can move up one generation to the /6 models which have front disks; in fact, they are probably cheaper, as the /5's are more desirable. With the /6 you will still get that retro style, but with upgraded brakes and ignition system.
Just get yourself a cheap Bandit. The 600's are pretty common and as such are cheap to maintain (a practically un-burstable oil cooled engine and loads of them in scrapyards waiting to be scavenged from), cheap to repair (steel frame means any sucka can weld it back together), and the ability to be far more entertaining than it has any right to be when considering it's a budget parts bin special. The 400 is cheaper on the insurance but there's fewer around. My first bike was a Bandit 600. I then went the sportsbike route and finally returned to the trusty Bandit when I realised that winter sports bike riding isn't that fun. I ride mine to work every day and it hasn't missed a beat in over 40,000 miles. Just squirt chain lube on the chain in summer, and everywhere else in the winter. Smiles all year round.
Get a bike that you love, it's the only reason to be out there riding. If it's this (and I wouldn't blame you if it was) then nothing else matters. The way the bike makes you feel is the most important thing, even it's not the best bike in the world. I understand why folks say "get this" and "get that", but lets face it, if we all rode Honda Nighthawks the world would be a very boring place.
Depends if it's an Indian-made Enfield or not – they're not worth half that much.
my friend had a new enfield and we rode together often. It was a wonderful machine for someone who was as interested in its needs as in a sweet ride. He enjoyed its needyness and difficulty to start along with the fact that he never saw more than one or so others on the road.
My god, that thing is beautiful. All I can think about is riding it across the Brooklyn Bridge at dusk. Mmmm.
Uncled is right, of course. Make sure you get something that you like.
But I will say this; I started with a "cool" bike that had some mechanical problems. I spent a year and hundreds upon hundreds of dollars trying to get it running 100%. I loved it when it ran but it broke again and again. I tried fixing it, I took it to two different shops and they couldn't get it right. I finally gave up and sold it as-is and bought the aforementioned GS500e. While it didn't have the character of my earlier bike, it was 10x the bike as far as reliability and riding dynamics. It opened my eyes to enjoying the actual ride rather than just the bike. I almost gave up on riding bikes at all because of what a pain my first bike was, when all I needed was a reliable bike to show me the ropes.
I would always advocate a reliable bike first then, once you're comfortable with the concepts of riding and won't freak out if your bike dies on the highway, look to get a cool bike.
And yes, used – and a low plastic content – is always better for your first bike. It would royally (ha!) suck to spend $5,500 on a bike then drop it. I dropped my GS500e once and it wasn't a big deal. I still got most of what I paid for it, even with the dented tank.
Luckyfink, your issue with dropping the bike and it shutting down and giving you problems is exactly what I mean. That might be the only trouble your bike has shown, but I believe they're just not the "add gas and go" machines that Japanese bikes are. I could be wrong, but at least some consumers have had that experience with them. (do some searching.. I did when I was drooling over a Military 500 and just didn't feel comfortable with buying one after that.)
One of my customers has one. I don't know anything about it except that it is beautiful.
The Bullet 500 with the cafe kid (race seat, bare metal tank, etc) is by far the sickest looking "new" bike I've seen.
Meanwhile, I have a '65 BMW r50 that I rebuilt myself (and I'm no stellar mechanic) and use as a daily rider. Any BMW is indestructible, but any pre-'79 beemer (with a few exceptions) is indestructable +100. I could get a Honda & give the BMW a break, but where's the fun in that? Plus: Earles Forks = german styling with Rolls Royce feel. Woo!
Oh, definitely. I've read a lot of sob stories on the internet, undoubtedly from people that have never ridden before, or bought them second hand. There is a lot of war stories about this bike, and not nearly as many good ones (Save for anyone that's ever done a formal review of it. Reviewers tend to love the bike). But, parts are more readily available for this than a lot of older bikes. And as far as the trouble I've had, it starts right up, even in the worst weather. But i spits out too much oil, which is the problem. The tiny little non-existant overflow can't handle the pressure. That, or something knocked loose inside. Either way, I've driven it 2K miles since then, oil spitting everywhere, without incident. Sucker is a real trooper.
And I have to agree about restoring or fixing a bike. I've had my share of restore/fix projects with all number of wheels. I'm mechanically inclined, and have worked on a lot of engines. But there's really something to be said about starting fresh, with something that you know if it does require maintenance, it's only minor. Heck, I've got 3 cars up on Craigslist right now, because I thought it'd be better to fix them.
But I digress. Whomever above said ride what you love is right. There's something about two wheels that just makes a person riding them happy. It takes all types. I've got a Vespa and the Enfield. And they make me happy for different reasons, and in different ways. Ride what you love. Vintage triumphs are gorgeous, as are old BMW's, Knuckleheads, and old board track racers. The key is to ride what you love, and the sacrifices will be worth it. (This is, of course, as long as you don't get in over your head)
http://www.royalenfield.com/ is the Indian Site. I am surprised why it costs $5000 when it is only around $2000 in India. 100% premium ?
I drive a 1972 BMW R60. I had a choice between and Enfield as well, but I'm glad I went with the BMW. I Picked up this beauty for $2k in cash, and put in another $1500 in repairs and maintenance. The end result was imo delicious:
Keep in mind that any bike with modern engineering and manufacturing techniques won't NEED an oil tank. There's no reason, in this day and age, to be spewing oil everywhere you go.
Any bike designed and built in the last 20 years will be more modern than the Indian built Enfields. BUT, the sure are cool. If you want one enough to deal with the extra issues then go ahead and get one.
(Top speed of 70? No thanks. Some times you need to pass the drunks on the highway.)
@26 Duffong — That's gorgeous!
Motorcycles of all kinds are awesome. Repairing and maintaining them is more like creating an adventure. I've logged over 50K miles on 2 wheels and still keep a '76 Guzzi V1000 Automatic for the day that my vertigo goes away for good.
I've owned one or more of just about every engine type and I'm partial to twins. That 500 single will vibrate like crazy if it's anything like my old BSA.
Hey, BSA & Enfield: both arms manufacturers. Coincidence?
About 70, I've had it go faster. And to be fair, 70 is higher than the speed limit in a lot of states, or their highest.
And wait, modern bikes don't use oil tanks? Um, really? I know the Sportster has one, and most custom bikes use them, not to mention most Harley's in the last 20 years. Maybe you were thinking that most bikes don't need an overflow? Not sure there.
And I would have loved an R60, or a good to go Bonnie, but alas, none under $4k when I looked. I actually ended up getting my Enfield for $3.5K. They're incredibly cheap on the used market. I've seen them go for under $2K on ebay, depending on mileage and condition. I really lucked out though.
@26: Nice BMW
@29: The vibration is part of what makes the ride fun. The V1000's are gorgeous, minus all the distraction of fairings and unnecessary saddlebags. Don't forget: Enfield, Made Like a Gun, Goes Like a Bullet.
Not that this bike compares since, oddly, its new… But I once bought a 1969 Triumph Bonneville. Pretty much the pinnacle of cool motorcycles, or at least it seemed so to me. Right away it started with carb and electrical issues and when I made things even worse I brought it to an eastern European motorcycle mechanic who was nearby. He scoffed at the bike and said that in his country they valued bikes for how well they drove, not how cool they looked. After owning that bike for about a year and literally working on it for an hour in order to ride it an hour, I now hear his voice every time I contemplate an overly stylish vehicle purchase.
That said, that's a badass bike and I say go for it. I now drive an old Cushman metermaid buggy which is a great conversation piece and it never gets old meeting new people who are curious about it, as you certainly would driving this.
I'm guessing the oiltank comment ws regarding two strokes.
I'm a scooter nerd with aspirations of graduating to a real bike one of these days. But the Oil Tank comment makes me snicker because my '78 has an oil tank- and my '64 doesn't. Of course, oil-injected two strokes feel like a luxury after dealing with premix for awhile.
The Ninja 250 is a fun little bike. But I can't agree more with "Get the bike that turns you on." Factor in your desire to either do your own work, have somebody else do the work (and not be riding while you're waiting!) or just riding an indestructible tank.
I want a /2, but that's crazy talk.
@#30 Luckyfink — I didn't mean to come off so anti-Enfield. I like their style. But I think it's true that they require more maintenance than, and do not perform as well as, more modern designs. But that doesn't matter really; everybody should ride what they like.
Last year I had a commute that would have been great on a scooter. This year, 70 mph is the slow lane for about 2/3 or my route.
A Royal Enfield, on a gadget blog? For a moment, I thought this might have been an April fool! 😉
I've been a UK-based owner of a Bullet Classic 500 (for nearly 2 years now), so while I can say that I love the bike, I can't really comment on the parts etc. situation on the other side of the pond.
I'll second what others have said – it's not a bike you can buy, ride and forget. Maintenance is needed. But of course that's half the fun…
If the spannering on a classic scares you, perhaps the Kawasaki W650 might be worth a look – I'm not sure if they still make them, but reasonable used ones are affordable, in the UK at least. Looks convincingly like an old Triumph, but (hopefully) with a dash of Japanese reliability.
@26 Duffong – Yes, I agree. Sexy delicious.
This is the fruit of my labors:
@32 Styrofoam – That's not crazy talk. Lofty talk, perhaps…/2s last forever, so they get forgotten in barns & basements and inherited by indifferent recipients.
I know nothing about motorcycles, but I approve of this bike. It's adorable!
Love this bike. Can't vouch for reliability.
I have two friends who have Kawasaki W650's that BRRM mentioned and have had no trouble at all. They are sweet looking bikes, but unfortunately, they don't sell them in the US anymore.
The new Triumph Bonnevilles are actually pretty sweet and they have a Scrambler that comes in flat military green! Check it! http://www.triumph.co.uk/usa/2009%20Triumph%20Scrambler_9861.aspx
Well, a Bullet is a Bullet is a Bullet…you either love it or hate it…but let me tell you, once you are hooked, you are hooked! It is a nice bike to ride and has its shortcomings but a nice ride!
Ah yes, good stuff.
I can't believe this! Exactly on the day I buy my first Royal Enfield Bullet 500 (second hand), you write an article covering it. Coincidence?
I thought about getting one of these bikes, but after reading a few posts on their forum, I decided against it. It was not recommended for the interstate highways because of the low top end. Apparently, even though the max speed is listed as 75, the people on the forum recommended that a better highway speed for these bikes is to oscillate between 50 & 55mph (occasionally speeding up and slowing down helps oil circulation). Speeds for an extended amount of time over 65-70 wasn't recommended due to long term affects of overheating. Because of that, it's considered a two-lane highway type of machine and something I wouldn't be able to use. Also, for the cost, I could get a used Japanese bike with better reliability, speed, braking, etc for much less. Yes, it's a cool bike, but I can't afford cool.
I've been running one of the Bullet 500 Classics for couple of summers now, and I can easily recommend it. Not very powerful, needs attention every now and then. But properly tuned starts with first kick, is beautiful and takes you around Europe with a nice slow pace.

You also need to take into account that this is a thumper, and as you can imagine they vibrate enough to loosen the fillings on your teeth, not to mention loosen all the other little doodads on the bike itself. Part of the reason why so many old triumphs and BSA's need CONSTANT attention. Sure, this is a kind of charming and very butch feeling at first, but will soon begin to drive you insane. Not to mention also might make your little soldier less eager to stand at attention if you get my drift…
Plus, while a 1960's spec engine may engender some nostalgia, 1960's spec brakes will only introduce you to mr black and scratchy much earlier in your biking career. There's a reason why Honda has used disc brakes on almost every bike they've made since 1969. Also a pretty good reason why almost every car has as well: They work better.
Go for a late 70's or early 80's Honda CB. You can still get the vintage look, but you'll also get disc brakes and once you spend a few bucks to get her up to par, a basically maintenance free machine. They have slightly higher pitched exhaust note than an old thumper or twin, but a four cylinder bike will have more torque and run much, much smoother. Good bikes to look at: 82-92 CB650/750 Nighthawks. CB400f (prettiest exhaust ever made) CB550, or 70's era CB750s. I really wouldn't bother with a 150 or 350 unless you're under 5'5″ or so, as the frames are smaller too.
Also: GEAR UP! The main rule of thumb over at ADV rider is: ATGATT= ALL THE GEAR ALL THE TIME i.e. helmet, gloves, boots, leather. CE rated armor is also a good investment. I went down at 20mph a few months ago and fractured and badly dislocted my shoulder wearing no CE rated armor. Teknic makes some really affordable gear with high end Knox CE rated armor.
If the lack of disc brakes is something that bothers you there is a conversion kit available for $399.95 here in the USA (from Royal Enfield USA @ http://store.royalenfieldusa.com/maintenance-repair/brakes/disc-brake-conversion-kit ).
As to the difference in price between the USA import and Indian domestic models, the Indian models are not up to European and USA standards (emissions, etc.). The Indian site clearly states this if you look for the information.
If you're really interested in these bikes, read the March 2009 Cycle World articles.
See if you can ride one too, even as a passneger. Some people love the feel and some people hate the feel of a thumper.
There are diesel conversion kits available for these bikes. Nifty for the enviro-conscious.
Wrybread, I love your Cushman photoboof! That's really cool.
Usonia and Henri, awesome bikes, both of you. Everyone's cool looking bikes makes me wish I had gone for that Triumph I fell for last year. Or the BSA. Or …
I can't believe there's so many bike lovers here. I guess it's just the adventurous "new thing to do" gene that makes us like all kinds of stuff.
RE: Thumpers; my current bike is a thumper (KLR650) and it's very far from smooth, running on 50/50 knobby dirt tires. Commuting and around town, it's great. The only time it's a problem is on the freeway, but so much of that is because the bike is incredibly tall and upright. There's a lot of buffeting. But the vibration from it being a thumper isn't an issue to me. I highly doubt the Enfield is any rougher, since it's smaller and definitely has a quieter exhaust.
Check out http://www.royalenfields.com/ for a great blog on the subject
I guess a single is a good starter bike because they're typically light and don't have enough power to get you into trouble. Don't buy an old one with kick-only start unless you're in good shape and very patient. Voice of experience…
To contradict ROSSINDETROIT: be sure to buy a bike with at least a back-up kick start. I was surprised in a lame way when I lost battery power on a borrowed yamaha last year & could not pop start the beast. New bikes lack kick starters. An electric start is great, but in a pinch nothing beats being able to manually start the machine without having to run across a parking lot with it.
Especially older bikes should have kick as a backup to the electric leg. The older electric starts are far less reliable than a car starter. Many older bikes can be ridden with a totally dead battery if you know what you're doing and have a strong leg. Done that FAR too many times.
#48:"As to the difference in price between the USA import and Indian domestic models, the Indian models are not up to European and USA standards"
The original engine design was standard on these bikes in the US as of a couple years ago. The new motor that satisfied the stricter EU emissions standards was a several hundred dollar option at that time. That wouldn't justify the $3000 price difference.
The cost of transportation, import fees, "we're marking it up 'cause we can" – aka dealer profit, etc. also factor into the difference. In addition, a model with a smaller motor (350?) is available in India, but not the US.
Yes the Bullet is a very evocative machine.
It is of it's time and as such requires what to most would be considered prohibitive amounts of time spent upon it.
The same is true of all older bikes or ones made to a pre 70s non Japanese paradigm.
But for me I have to take the view as several others here seem to have that if you look at vintage bike like a Ural, you then look at a BMW R series and think…hey this one is a helluva lot better and more reliable too.
In the UK the R70 was the plods bike so there are a lot of old ones about going cheap.
And if you do as a mate of mine did and keep the white fairing wear a high viz jacket and white helmet everyone thinks you are the filth so get out your way
He said it was like being Moses at the red sea.
Tho any fule no that Moses came down from the mountain on his Triumph.
Falls apart like a ,,, Chinese Motorcycle?
I own a 2003 Royal Enfield 500 and is runs beautifully. It's easy enough to change your own oil etc and is like riding a time machine. Lots of looks and conversations on these. You can see mine at http://tinyurl.com/myenfield
Benjamin Button rode one, which should give you a clue as to what is going on here. But there truly is something fascinating and a little comforting about technology that you can comprehend just by looking at it, (sometimes after removing a few bolts and covers,) where the word "intuitive" is not just a marketing ploy.
Do the research and decide for yourself. If you do, you will find that the 2009 Royal Enfields come with Unit Constructed Engines (All one casing) Aluminium Engines, and meet the new European emissions standards. Then you can be an informed hipster.
I have one just like it, a 1995 Bullet 500.
I need a whole clutch assembly for it, and maybe
the rear sprocket/brake drum. The bike is tough, but not for the Lad who refuses to tinker.
< email@example.com >
The crashbars saved my legs numerous times.
The steel sidebags were handy scavenging bricks.
We replaced the original headlight with a Lucas lamp after crashing through a gate one drunken night.
I rode all winter long, till the wiring fried.
The engine oil spews into a box under battery.
I used to collect it in film canisters for chain
lubrication. 10 years off the road, and people are still willing to offer $4000+ Canadian for it, But
alas; I'll never sell it! I picked up as many Women with the Enfield, as I did bricks. The bike paid for itself twofold over. No regrets. -KJL.

i want to buy royal enfield second hand for around 40000.. what specificaions i shld look for.and basic guidlines for knowing the condition of bike
'lo all. First, let's can the idea of cruising at 70mph. 60mph is comfortable, 65 is doable. The newer UCE can add about 5mph to that.
They are much like the Russian Ural in that the last few years have brought new management and improved mechanicals. However- they are still a 50 year old design. I would say a Bullet (I refer to mine as a Musket Ball) is great for the countryside and mountains. 85 into Atlanta or 5 out of L.A.- forget it!
There is much practile information and advice at http://www.enfieldmotorcycles.com The community forum has quite lively discussions from newbies and the experienced alike.
Here is mine with some accessories;
Now- I also have a Kawasaki W650. I must say it is infinitely better than a Triumph. It is a wonder blend of old and new- and can cruise the freeeways at any legal speed you desire. I love it. For more info about them, Yahoo W650 Group.
You want to real motorcycle, this is real machine. all mechanical part no electronic break down, this machine can take you around the world, with handful of tools in your saddle bag. But the problem is most of the people never really understood a motorcycle.
I love the military look, and am actually quite excited to see the new G5 Military. I was even trying with the possibility of a trade-in . However, I'd really have to see this bike first…not sure how it will look to me without the panniers, which to me are so emblematic to the military model. Further, I kinda like the idea of having the iron barrel, the last of its kind, a dying Enfield breed, a piece of history.
Carta di credito Gratis
Well, many of the current UCE models are recalled right now. I think you should wait another year for them to get some kinks worked out.
As parts take some time to come in the mail, I wouldn't want to take one around the world. Gaskets and filters cost as much as similar BMW itmes, too. They are not cheap to maintain, and cost a lot, considering what you get.
There are still some AVL Military models scattered around the country that include the crash bar and panniers. I know there's one in the dealership in Marion NC, for instance.
The new buyer needs to go through everything upon arrival, as they are very careless at the factory.
I bought my military model enfield two years ago and have put 15 thousand on the clock since then. I have had GPZ900 ninjas cx500 hondas and ridden other Japanese bike in my time but I have never enjoyed a bike more than my enfield. She rides and handles just great. Has good low down torque is the most fun of any bike I ever had. She is my sole mode of transport so I rely on her almost every day. Yes there is maintainance to do like changing oil, setting points, tappet clearances etc but its not much and is easy to do. Parts are easy to get over the internet and there is a good choice of options. I buy most of my parts cheap on Ebay or Hitchcocks. Enfield parts don't cost a lot and she is easy to work on. She is also very economical to run.
I plan to keep this bike for the rest of my life I like it so much
I myself own a Royal Enfield motorcycle. Riding on this gives me a totally different kind of pleasure and I feel flying in the air.
i want purchase this bike, can u tell me the price in indian currency and how do i get it ? and from where?
my no…09773308161

Older design Iron Barrel engine powered Bullets (now discontinued) earlier models; kick start only 4 speed transmission, later Iron Barrels, 5 speed transmission, kick and and electric start, Points ignition, Drum brakes,front disc can be retro fitted, most maintenance of the Bullet series.
AVL engine powered bullet models ( mildly updated engine ) Higher sustained speeds, 5 speed transmission, Both electric start and kicker, electronic ignition,disc brake, less maintenance.
New Unit Construction Engine models, (C5 & G5)
C5 is oldest looking of the bunch. Electronic ignition, E.F.I., Hydraulic lifters,disc brakes, Highest sustained speeds, most stock H.P., least maintenance.
They are a blast to ride. Handle very well. Mild trail capable.
Low restriction air filter and exhaust along with re jetting the carb on older models really wakes them up.
E.F.I models are self compensating and mapped up to 18,000 above sea level.
Parts and accessories are plentiful and inexpensive to downright cheap. C.M.W. stocks more parts in their warehouse than the factory does.
Go fast goodies are available.
These things can be addictive.

2006 Dodge Magnum Question: doesnt start
I went to the store drove fine and once i got out of the store i went to turn on the car and it started up real weird it sounded like it wanted to shut off,, i have gas and it cranks then immediatly shuts off, i had it towed now im stuck??? i had it for 2 years it started funny a few times in the past just wondering what it could be? - samira
Answer 1
I had a Lebaron once and the MAP(manifold absolute pressure)sensor did the same thing on it .Depending on the vehicle this could be an internal (more expensive ) or external. Saw a guy at a gas station once , he filled up and car wouldn't start I mentioned MAP sensor . Saw the guy a week later and it was the sensor but on his volvo the sensor was apparently internal.$600 fix for him and $50 fix for me. - shadetree bald guy

Since 2007, GrowNYC's Office of Recycling Outreach and Education has been hosting community swap events to reduce waste and engage residents in the practice of reuse. Stop 'N' Swap® helps keep good things out of the landfill by bringing together people with good things they no longer need and those who can use those items. We have held 47 swaps so far, serving nearly 12,000 New Yorkers. With the addition of two new staff dedicated to our Stop 'N' Swap program, we aim to dramatically increase access to these events. Meet TK Zellers and Carl-Harry Nau, the team working to bring a swap to each of the city's 59 Community Districts each year.
What's your favorite part of the job?
CHN: At a Stop 'N' Swap you have a diverse group of people show up all looking for something new to add to their life. Interacting with the folks at the swap is fun because you get a sense of who they are and why they are here, and I get to see cool new stuff.
TKZ: Telling people who've never heard of Stop 'N' Swaps about what they are and what we do. There's always a moment of disbelief, and it sometimes takes some convincing to get people to believe that, for instance, 'it's totally free!', but in the end everyone I talk to is impressed, happy, and excited to get swapping! I've even got some high-fives, and one hug so far.
Have you always been inclined to reuse things?
CHN: I grew up in a house with two brothers and both my parents working their tails off to pay rent. So it was safe to say things like clothes, cell phones, video games, and toys were passed down from one child to the next. I even took some items that my friends no longer wanted. Reusing is second nature.
TKZ: I always liked the idea of repurposing things for more creative uses. Every gift I gave anyone until about the age of 16 was handmade out of old papers, cans, bottles and duct tape. My artistic talent didn't ever live up to my aspirations, but it's the thought that counts, and ugly or not, that soda-can-picture-frame stayed out of the waste stream!
What are some of the reactions you get when bringing a swap to a community for the first time?
CHN: People usually ask whether we'll be back the next week, or when we will return to the neighborhood. Swaps receive a warm reception from those who grasp the concept of what we do and they also conjure feelings of regret by those who pass by and realize what they missed out on.
Does the swap change from neighborhood to neighborhood, or is it relatively consistent?
CHN: I have noticed the items that are swapped change from location to location. Some areas have more books, others have more house wares, and some areas have more children's clothing.The Stop 'N' Swap volunteers are pretty incredible. What keeps them going? Do you stretch before the event?
CHN: I want to say we have a great staff that works alongside the volunteers at each event. The staff leads by example and takes an "All Hands On Deck" approach during all aspects of the event. We also care for the opinions and concerns of our volunteers and take care to assign them to appropriate tasks. I will say stretching is not a bad idea!
TKZ: We haven't come up with a Stop 'N' Swap calisthenics warm-up routine yet, but we do make sure to supply everyone with plenty of food and coffee before and after. I think a big motivator is how much fun Swaps can be. You never know what you're going to find at the sorting table, and impromptu fashion shows and 'what-is-this' guessing games are common. Everyone manages to have a good time while helping hundreds of people find a new home for thousands of pounds of good, reusable stuff.
What is one of your favorite swap moments?
CHN: At our Upper West Side swap I spoke with a woman who came to gather items for her friends at a nursing home. She said that she had the ability to leave the facility and she knew that the others would have relished the opportunity to attend. Later I was asked by someone from the neighborhood what items people like to take at swaps and I told her sometimes people come looking for items to help others, such as the woman from the nursing home. At that point I created a connection between them and the lady who lived in the area left and returned with 6 new walkers, which went back to the residents of the nursing home.
What do you hope people take away from the experience?
CHN: I hope they understand that everything they own has value, and even though they may no longer need the item that someone else can use it. I hope the joy people get from the items they find encourages them to continue to participate and bring their unwanted items so that they can have a second life.
TKZ: Besides a few pounds of reused items, I hope people leave Stop 'N' Swaps with a newfound respect for reuse, and a curiosity to find out more about using and wasting less. There are so many resources to help people figure out ways to repurpose, repair, recycle or reuse anything we might otherwise just waste. GrowNYC and Stop 'N' Swaps are a great place to start!

This spring, GrowNYC's Recycling Champions Program held a recycling contest amongst schools in the program to see which school could achieve the highest recycling rates. 22 schools participated in the six-week long "Big Lift"– where schools once weekly weighed the recycling and trash from classrooms, offices, and the cafeteria. With an overall recycling rate of 54%, P.S. 154 in Queens was the grand prize winner! P.S. 154 increased their recycling rate by 268% and reduced the amount of trash by 46%. Other top winners include: P.S. 29 Brooklyn and the High School for Law and Public Service in Manhattan which improved recycling rates by 146% and 88% respectively. P.S. 25 Bronx had a 47% overall recycling rate – 20% for metal, plastic, and cartons.
As a result of their outstanding recycling rate, P.S. 154Q won a school greening package valued at $2,000! The prize included tree mulching, park benches made from recycled plastic and a new school garden. On June 25, students and faculty worked alongside staff from GrowNYC to construct the school garden and assist with tree mulching. For many students, it was their first experience with hands-on landscaping and gardening. Students filled the bed with top soil and planted a number of perennials and herbs that will attract butterflies. In addition to beautifying the school, the 8' x 3' raised bed constructed from recycled lumber, will serve as a valuable educational tool for students to learn about the natural environment.
GrowNYC and Brooklyn Brewery are excited to announce the launch of Greenmarket Wheat, a beer collaboration between local farmers, malters, and brewers that captures the flavor of regional agriculture in a bottle.
Greenmarket Wheat is a wheat beer made with raw wheat from North Country Farm in Watertown, NY, Pilsner Barley Malt from Valley Malt in Hadley, MA, and Wildflower Honey from Tremblay Apiaries, Chemung County, NY.
The idea for Greenmarket Wheat grew from New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo's 2012 Farm Brewery License legislation aimed at expanding the growth of craft breweries and increase demand for locally grown products to brew beer statewide.
"Our Greenmarket Regional Grains Initiative works with regional farmers to devote more acreage to growing grains. Creating partnerships to move their product into the hands of bakers—and now brewers—has helped their businesses scale up production," said Marcel Van Ooyen, executive director of GrowNYC. "Greenmarket Wheat is a collaboration of local growers, millers, malters and brewers who will all benefit from the sale of this new product, not to mention consumers who can purchase a refreshing ale they can feel good supporting. Shoppers come to the Greenmarket to eat local. Now they can drink local. We couldn't be more thrilled to work with Brooklyn Brewery and our producers to bring local grains into the spotlight."
Greenmarket Wheat will be available for sale by the bottle on Wednesdays and Saturdays at Union Square Greenmarket.
Did you know that GrowNYC's Greenmarket program had a weekly radio show?
Tune in each Thursday at 1:45 PM to Heritage Radio for the GrowNYC Market Update to hear profiles of our 50+ markets around the city-- including tips like which farmers have the first snap peas, historical and cultural sites near the farmstands and where to grab a special snack in the neighborhood.
