OT re: the Enfield, I "grew up" learning to ride on old Briish bikes, it it became a real love/hate affair. Some of the standing jokes were: You can tell the rider of a Brit bike when he takes his T'shirt off(one with the emblem on the shirt) because they leak oil so badly he even has an oil stain on his chest. You can always pick out the rider of the British bike in a group, he's the one with the flash light taped to the top of his head because of the darkness caused by the Lucas electrics. Then there was my friend who owned the Norton dealership(this one is true) We cleaned a brand new Norton engine straight from a crate and put it together dry. We placed it on the bench in a small pile of sawdust, and wated overnight. The next day, there was a pile of oil in the sawdust under that dry engine. Only thing we could figure is the engines are designed so as to leak oil, so, when it had none to leak, it created it's own so it could leak it out.
