Post by Stuart »

Many thanks to Fletcher who sent me these pictures and more of this bike his Uncle, Claude Baudin, recently finished building.

Fletcher says that 'after changing the gears a bit, it is
moving very respectably. He rode it in a rally in North Carolina last
weekend, and kept up with the other bikes fine. He rode 300 miles on
half of a 6 gallon tank! And with his homemade biodiesel costing him
US $.65/gallon... that ride was less than 2$ in fuel :D

Claude would like some assistance in organizing other diesel bike
riders in the East / south-east US.
His address: Supplied. Anyone interested in helping Claude in this dept please drop me a line (email or PM on here) and I'll give you the contact details.

This bike is getting a lot of attention!

Very well presented bike! Looks like a golden oldie with a quality touch.

Shaft drive bikes are always so nice to ride and maintain. I'm forever cleaning chain spray from the ole Enfield :(

Keep up the great work.



Cheers


Andrew :)
