Hello beautiful helpers,
was hoping there might be someone who knows a reliable Enfield macanic in chennai. i have been cheated recently and my poor bike sounds like its been raped. i know there is a factory repair centre near aydvar but there waiting list is too long and i only have a week. Can you belive the guy thought i had know idea about bikes unfortuantly i gave him money first(dont do this give a bit but not a lot) and when i proved him to be a honda macanic with little to no knowledge of enfields (he had privously told me he had 30 years experience in enfields)he had the cheek to call me a cheat because i wouldnt give another 2000 for making my engine worse. eeeeeuuuughhhhhhhhhh how i wanted to spank him till he cried like a baby! your help in this matter would be hugly appreciated thank you, Alex x x x |

well.. there are a few good ones.
the best is a guy called Jaf - in pudupet. message me and i will send ou the number. Also - there is a good guy in Alwarpet. He is on CP Ramaswamy road- a little innocous joint near Kerthilal Kalidas Jewelers. If you are coming down the flyover onto CP Ramaswamy road, just after the first junction on the left side.. he's somewhere around there. Not too sure of the name. But I hear that Jaf is the best.There is also an Enfield showroom/ repair center in Gopalpuram. Dont think its as fancy as the besant nagar one but its functional. Its off Lloyds road (Avai Shanmugai Salai) near DAV Boys school.

Hmmm.... far enough to need a motor bike to get to. But the guy might live in the South.

have mailed you Jafs number.. might i suggest taking off your personal email address from a public forum.. might not be the best thing to do.
if its a 350 and more than 10 years old- i wont be a thunderbird. it might be an electra if its got a CDI, else its a regular bullet 350. I am guessing by now you must have already goteen the bike back.. I do apologise for not messaging in ealier. In India- the illegal can only be if the RC book numbers of the engine and chassis dont match that on the engine and chassis - then my friend- you got a BIG problem.if there are slight modifications on the engine, TECHNICALLY speaking- its not illegal unless the cc and the BHP (performace)are altered. But since they dont got dynometers around to measure the outputs- its fine. |
