Southern Ontario (or near) diesel riders?

Post by visser »

I just recently bought a diesel Enfield with a Hatz 1b30, and was wondering if there are any other diesel riders anywhere near Toronto?

Also... is there any diesel bike rally in USA? If so, when and where?

Hi visser

Glad to see you've made it over from the Yahoo forums.

As far as I am aware there are no USA rallies yet - maybe you should have a go at organising one, you might be surprised as to how many show up! Over here we seem to now have the The Bat & Ball in the UK around the end of May (so called as it is the name of the pub where the rally has been held every year) and one in Germany in Hamm.

Best of luckfinding fellow riders in your area...

So far I have not found a single other diesel motorcycle in Ontario.
I would organize a rally, but with a turn out of one I guess I have a rally every day.

I have noticed in the memberlist, however, that there are two members from Michigan. I wonder whereabouts?

Anyone with an Enfield Bullet... what is the biggest front sprocket that works? Does it increase your top speed by much? Does it effect your bottom end significantly?

I could make use of another 5 or 10km/h if changing the spocket would achieve that.

I think your best bet is to join an existing rally as a separate section.

The only other diesel motorcycle in Ontario that I am aware of is mine which is still under construction (approximately 2 full months of eight hour days work left to be done). I'm near Cornwall.

Pictures of the bike here:
