Dad had an aesthetic interest in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Enfield">Royal Enfield</a>. So we asked our host if he could arrange such a thing. After a little back and forth on the details he went off to see what he could do.  A few minutes later he came back with the details and within 30 minutes we were staring at two of the most beaten up bikes left in India. The first Royal Enfield bikes were built in India in 1955, and I suspect that ours were from the first batch.</p>
