My dad had a Royal Enfield back in the 60s. He said it had the worst electrical system he ever had to deal with.

I don't think any motorcycle had a decent electrical system back then.

In a country that has as much rain as England, your motorcycles should probably be capable of not shorting out when it rains.

Fun fact: Royal Enfield is now an Indian company. They even have their cult of fanboys here. They consider these bikes are to be a symbol of manliness.
