Cool Cars – motorcycle edition
Thursday

While walking to the T light rail station at Pittsburgh’s First Avenue, this motorcycle caught my eye. It’s a Royal Enfield, which already makes it remarkable, as you mainly see people here riding either Harley Davidson bikes or one of the many offerings from the East Asian manufacturers.
The Enfield was ‘done up’ in a trim that was reminiscent of how their bikes were finished during the Second World War. It looked modern to me despite it, this bike, but I’m no expert.

My British father in law actually is an expert on this sort of thing, but I haven’t been able to petition him about it as of this writing.
Regardless, ‘cool bike.’

I wonder if it’s a movie prop or something? Seems to be a legit street bike, with a license plate and everything, so…
Neat!
Back tomorrow.

Royal Enfield is Indian. That makes it Asian too.
