On the showroom floor
In the Bhubaneswar Enfield store just hours after arriving off the truck from Chennai on April 17th Today was the day of my new arrival. I would like to announce that Gladys is now with me for the start of what I hope will be a long and enjoyable relationship!
Pictures attest to the bundle of joy!
So far she is a little shy in the busy traffic but is doing just fine!
We are waiting for the builder to come and knock a hole in the wall outside my flat and insert a gate so I can park her beside my room locked up - meanwhile she is spending the night in my NGO host's yard.
September 2016 update Gladys and I have now done 73,000 kms in India (and Nepal..one trip)... She is better than ever.. better than new. Lots of maintenance and care along the way and many replaced parts of course... but what a great bike. Bikin' on.

IMPRESSIVE
What a hot little number - and the bike is fabulous too! Seriously though, well done Paul - ENJOY every moment of riding with Gladys (interesting choice of name and I look forward to hearing about why you called her Gladys). If I ever get to Bhubaneswar can I be a very well behaved pillion.............I luv motor cycles - had a little Virago 250 for a while but decided I was a better pillion than driver. Take special care. Hugs Marguerite
