He wrote a love poem to his Royal Enfield

The Royal Enfield he loves so much.

Happy Valentine's Day from Royal Enfield Motorcycles. Here's a snatch of a love poem written by Ray Gorringe, a Brit living in India, from his blog India Vice Verser:

"I have a

Royal Enfield, I call her Black Bess

She’s getting old and her wiring's a mess

She has become a large part of my life

But this comment I always get from my wife

“I think that you love her much more than me”

When I explained she just could not see

That I love you both in equal measure

For you both give me so much pleasure

And in some ways you and my bike

Are so similar, so very much alike

It is here I must have had a mental block

For I expounded, mentioning the miles on the clock..."

Gorringe's profile says he is retired and lives in Trivandrum, India. "I am greedy and have three Enfields and they are my Freedom," he writes.
