There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I remember being aware of the Enfield, back in the day!
Now, does anyone have memories, info, pictures, etc., of "The Famous James"????

I have a friend who had a James when he was a pup. I'm not sure I have ever seen one in person, though. Even at the shows they are pretty rare.

They do, and the one above is one of the new ones. You can tell by the starter. Many parts are actually interchangeable with the old ones.
I figured it was a newer one, that disc brake kinda gives it away. :thumbup:

Wish I knew..!!
then what I know now..we had all those bikes running around could have picked up originals cheap. Enfields, harleys, indians, and a host of european models. They all were converted and had their specific jobs. South america never lets a motorized vehicle die....alas..!!

The Famous James!
I had these during high school, mid-50s, but dumped them to get my first car at 17. I haven't had another motorcycle since, until buying the Spyder just this year, at 73.
And now I've rolled up 3,000 miles on it in just 2-1/2 months!:yes:
Well, I had them too when I was a pup. 1947 models, worn out, and 1 1949 model. I had two or more at a time, just to have parts to keep one of them running. They were English and had 5hp 1-cylinder 2-cycle Villiers (French) engines (cc and/or cu.in. unknown to me). Hand clutch and hand shift: you had to take your hand off the snap-throttle to shift the 3-speed gearbox. But most riders (kids) would reach left-handed over the gas tank and shift without the clutch, just rolling-off the throttle a bit to "unload" the gears. Mine would scarcely go over 35mph but good ones would do 50 or so.
