Electric scrambler
-
The S6, the Flying Flea electric scrambler version has been spotted. From
my perspective, the main change seems to be the fenders.

Royal Enfield project keeps him going
Jack Greenman is a 25-year-old man with severe chronic pain and the Triumph motorcycle logo tattooed across his chest. He is in the process of installing a Royal Enfield Bullet motor into a Norton Atlas frame. The project is a kind of tribute to his deceased father, the former owner of the deteriorated Norton.
Greenman is an articulate writer who lately has been sharing progress reports on the Enfield-Norton in his blog, Wizid's 2nd Home. He writes and talks (in YouTube videos) about himself, he says, because he must.
"You have to talk about it," he says. In a calm voice, seemingly without anger, he explains:
"I'm 25, and I live in my mother's basement. And I can't move, and I can't go to school, and I'm waiting on disability — and I mean what what else can I do? What else do I have to do? I can't... I can't work with my hands much any more, I can barely read books, I can barely write and I used to write all the time, and I can't write — and I can't draw... and and like what the hell... am I supposed to do?"
Greenman doesn't name his disease, in so far as I can find, and doesn't ask for anything except, maybe, understanding that he is not "just complaining" or seeking attention. He seems genuinely grateful that someone out there might be listening. I became a "Follower" of his blog because I am interested in what he writes.
You might be, too, and not just for discussion of how to fit an Enfield motor into a Norton frame.
Take a look. And, if you'd like to encourage him to keep it up, maybe become a Follower.
