  It seems that their motorcycle regiments have a lot more members that they have motorcycles.

That was my first thought.   Pretty good, but guys have been doing that since flathead Harley days.    The audience looks pretty clueless .....

Those bikes are carrying some loads, even though the average weight of an Indian soldier or policeman is probably considerably less than that of the average, say, American.   Some of those Enfields are probably toting half a ton.    And those single-cylinder engines aren't allowed to pop or hiccup either, or down you'd come off that ladder.

My son's RE fractured the frame 5 times.  I'm not doing any group climb on that!

Excellent! Thanks for posting. I agree, those bikes sure are carrying some load!  Wow.  Interesting, display, and very clean and orderly.

Sure seems like you could load plenty of stuff on an Enfield and to go to a rally.

I think they can afford to loose a few people with the current population being north of 1.252 billion.

Ha. Ha. You would think they would sell a special long seat for the local market.

Baby needs new shoes! Brake shoes that is!

Oh.
