The Hitchcock Rigid Conversion
Mission Statement
This blog has been set up as a record of my attempt to build a cool Bobber style bike out of the Royal Enfield Bullet. With the cost of genuine early British and American bikes and parts spiralling upwards in the face of the current global economic climate, building a retro style custom is rapidly becoming cost prohibitive. Initially, there will be a period of accruing parts and information as the bike I intend to re-create is my daily rider.
I have heard so many horror stories about the Indian made Bullet from people who's mate used to have one, that I have lost count. All I can say is that I have covered over 20,000 miles on mine in the last three and a half years, and feel happy that it is quite capable of doing another 20.
So if you like the idea or just curious, you are welcome to come along for the ride.

Introduction
This blog has been started as a side project to the British Ironworks site. Concentrating primarily on the Royal Enfield Bullet and the attempts to turn it into a cool custom ride.
Oi! It's good to see a site dedicated to this Bulletering business. Mine is currently at this stage, and likely to change agan soon: http://www.dirtybobbers.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1693.0;attach=7317;image Cheers, Peter.
And there's one in my back garden that SHOULD have my name on it, only some dickhead at DVLA is giving me grief. I'm going to their Wimbledon office to kick some ass.
