Leaning sidecar and parallel twin motor make this Bullet special. |
Gerry from Washington State was so impatient for Royal Enfield to offer a modern parallel twin that he built his own. I wrote about his Royal Enfield Bullet powered by a
Yamaha 650 twin in 2011.
"This thing buries the speedo needle with ease and accelerates like a GSXR 750 and shoots right over the Rocky Mountains like a cannonball," he told me. At the time, he predicted that he would keep "messing" with his creation.

Something tells you this will be a wild ride. |
And he has done exactly that, adding an articulated sidecar. The whole unusual rig is now
for sale on CraigsList in Renton, Wash. (Unfortunately, the ad has expired.)
