open house/summer picnic here at headquarters
in Minnesota.
Here is our current list of events
in chronological order:
June 23-25 Royal Enfield Summer Picnic and
Open House We want to show off our new facility
and give us a chance to meet more of our
customers. The picnic will be held in our
home town of Faribault Minnesota and will
include tours, a great ride in the Mississppi
river country, technical information, contests,
food and great discounts on our parts and
accessories including free freight for anything
you decide that you can't live without.
The tentative schedule is: Arrive Friday
June 23, Ride, contests, tours, tech sessions
etc Saturday June 24, and home on Sunday
June 25. There is no fee for the event,
food on Friday and Saturday evenings will
be provided. Lots of lodging/camping is
available in the area. Give us a call at
800-201-7472 for more information. All bikes
and brands are welcome.
Reno Royal Enfield Family Reunion Held on
Labor Day weekend in Reno Nevada. Some unbelievably
beautiful rides in the Reno/Lake Tahoe area
are planned as well as food, fellowship
and fun. This has been a very popular event
in the past. Pre-registration is required.

The "Original"
Royal Enfield Family Reunion/RALLY ON THE
RIVER 2006 The Midwest Royal Enfield Family
Reunion will be held in September AGAIN
this year. Back by popular demand the rally
will be held the last weekend in September
(9-29, 30 & 10-1, 2006). The location
will be the same as always Green's Campground
and Canoe rental in Steelville, MO. We will
once again be joined by the Moto Guzzi National
Owners Club and the combined event is now
being called the RALLY ON THE RIVER 2006
to eliminate some of the confusion caused
by more than one event called the Family
Reunion. Here is a link to somepictures
of last years rally. More details to
follow and watch for info at www.interstatemotorcycles.com
email: bdunkus@fidnet.co.
Note: I have gone
to all of these events in Steelville and
it is well worth
the trip. The riding is beautiful and
Bill and Mary from Interstate and Skip
and his family from Greens are the consumate
hosts!

Topic: S-K 3rd annual Royal reunion
Message: Hello, Just wanted to
let every one know that I was at the reunion in
HATLY WISCONSIN. This was my 2nd trip there, and
I had a great time. I drove my
2005 500 Bullet classic 85 miles to get there.
I was very happy with the
performace of my cycle. I held it to 60 miles
an hour all the way without a
hitch. I tallied up 230 miles for the day, But
had to drive home in the rain.
The bike ran and handeled very well in the wet
conditions. I had a great time.
Thanks Bill and Steve at S-K Leon from DePere,
WIS.

Topic: Which bike with a sidecar?
Message: Hey there... I'm interested
in getting a bike with a sidecar and I'm torn
between the Enfields and the Urals. I like the
old look of the RE's but I'm concerned about power
and performance when a sidecar is added. Which
bike is best to add the sidecar to? How does it
impact performance? And, finally, please reply
with your experiences. I don't think I need the
2WD systems so a Royal Enfield is a strong possibility.
Thanks,

Topic: I had a 1963 750cc twin
cylinderRE TT Interceptor
Message: In 1964 I bought a 1963
RE 750cc TT Interceptor. AT the time it cost
me somewheres around $1395.00 USD. At the time
I loved that bike more then I did
my wife, more dependable and I always knew where
it was at every night. rode it
from LA & all the way to Cincinnati Ohio &
back during the summer of 1966. I
remember after finishing that trip completly rebuilding
the bike uppping the cyl
bore by .060 and making the engine an 825cc. My
reasoning for rebuilding the
motor mainly was because the motor & Bike
lost over $45.00 worth of nuts and
bolts, and back those days $45.00 was a lot of
money. Lots Of WEntworth screws,
nuts & Bolts. I changed all of the Wentworth
threads to SAE, ALL 100% OF THEM
TO FINE THEM, plus I also reworked the frame and
dressed up the engine quite
abit. After that trip plus my wife left me, Like
I said the bike was a lots
more dependable then she ever was, I ended up
selling it to my very best friend
for $900.00

Topic: Gas/Ethanol
Message: Saw in today's Wall
Street Journal an article describing problems
that
boatowners are having with gasoline that has 10%
ethanol. Rotting fuel tanks,
clogged filters, tarry residue inside engines.
Anyone know of any problems
using gas with 10% ethanol in motorcycles ? It
would seem that gas will be
further cut with ethanol in future--up to 85%
I have read.
