    Great video! I've done basically the same mods to my Interceptor but fortunately mine is a euro 4 so no engine light. The 2 into 1 gives it noticeably more torque in the mid range doesn't it?

    The Conti is the nicest looking of the RE 650s, including the forthcoming ones. I'm very tempted by the alloy wheeled version with the stripes, which I imagine is the kind of thing Royal Enfield UK would have made if they'd lasted until the late 1970s.

    Interesting musings. My feeling is that human creations have become a kind of golem, and we delude ourselves into thinking that money is the magic formula to keep it all under our spell. Everything has a price too high for most people, and the chase after survival has become so extreme that all manner of crimes and abuses are commonplace just in order to live. And who are the heroes and role models? All we have is lunatics. So I just unplug from it and find my own quiet places like you've done here, away from the madness.
