I assume it is similar to what he was riding when he crashed and died. I notice the Prince of Darkness handled the lighting system. I once drove a Royal Enfield. I felt like I was on a tractor and all levers were on the wrong sides. If I am not mistaken, the death of Lawrence led to the development of the motorcycle helmet.

I think that there was a form of helmet for them at the time.

I looked at the Royal Enfield, but want more oomph than that. An Indian friend and I were thinking of just buying a couple of them in India and riding the hell out of them for a couple of weeks and selling them back to a dealer for whatever we could get. We wanted to go, amongst other places, to the Wagah border crossing on the border with Pakistan to watch the gate closing ceremony that the Indians do with the Pakistanis.

Ping list?

“I notice the Prince of Darkness handled the lighting system.”

I guess you shouldn’t ride it at night.
