Y'all should look into Wheels Through Time museum in Maggie Valley NC. Just over the ridge.
Lovely place to spend a few days.

He's very meticulous which helps but this really is his passion. The Royal Enfield is actually the only modern bike. (Don't remember what year. It's electric/kick start and has been set up to mimic the old bike. That's the only one I've ridden other than his 1972 HD Sportster. The Enfield was cool but a bitch to ride. All of these bikes including the HD, have the shifter on the right which I'm somewhat used to. (I used to have a 1970 XLCH Sportster)
The Enfield shift pattern is one up, three down. Had to constantly think of which gear I was in and what gear I wanted to be in next. Confusing as hell.
My previous road bikes were a 71 Triumph TR6R Tiger and a 71 BSA A65 Lightening, both shifted on the right. I missed more than a few shifts on the new bike because of muscle memory even though I hadn't ridden in over 20 years.
First thing I noticed, "The Sex Symbol Of Motorcycling" I think they called it.
Looks exactly like the one I had years ago except I could never get the covers looking that shiny
69 750 Commando Black with gold striping
That bike was a blast to ride
Bought it from a friend, sold it back to him 10 years later.
He passed a few years ago, have no idea what happened to the bike.
I miss him and that damn bike
Buddy of mine has 6-7 old bikes. 1 Harley, couple of BSA's, and a couple of Triumphs. Maintains and rides them all.

Awesome
I've been loving my tiger 800 abs. I wish I had just sacked up and gotten the taller xc and/or waited a year for electronic cruise. But, it has been dead reliable and a very powerful 800cc triple.
