    A friend of mine bought a “new” Enfield Bullet a couple of years ago and mentioned that Watsonian Squire (the importers) were having an open day this weekend. As they are only just up the road in Blockley I took my son Max out for a quick trip out on the Blade on Saturday.

    We arrived about 10 and had a wander around the bike park – Old, New, New looking Old and Old looking New.

    Being Watsonian Squire there were a few side cars about:

    Max had a go – and no I’m not putting one on the Blade

    After seeing this my friend ordered one – must be popular as there is a 3 month wait.

    “New” 500cc fuel injected Enfield engine

    Good free morning out and we both had a lovely “Light Salad” from the Light Salad van

    That Minimoto outfit looks great.

    Still have a soft spot for the Enfields and that last cafe racer one looks very nice.

    The Clubman does look good. When it arrives I’ll try and persued my friend to stick a review on here.

    I had a sit on it, the bike is very small and the seat is a board but that ally tank is lovely. Also with the “sports” exhaust they sound pretty good as well.

    If you fancy one here are the details:

    Excellent pics kat, just a thought though, has ANYONE actually ridden a “chair”?, back in the late seventies I ‘had a go’ at sidecar trials standing in for my Dad when he had back problems. All I will say to those who havn’t ridden one is ….if you have the chance to try one out then go for it! BUT, be prepared for a never to be forgotton experience!

    Rode a Honda CB250RS with a chair around the car-park of the palce i worked at the time…weird, scary…nearly hit loads of stuff! That was in 1987…Not tried again since!
