Resources - Her Majesty's Thunder

Her Majesty's Thunder found at http://hermajestysthunder.blogspot.com/

From Her Majesty's Thunder
This blog is about British bikes of the Golden Era.  It doesn't focus completely on Royal Enfields but the author owns and rides one so there are some good bits here.  The thing that really sets this blog apart is the photography; it is amazing.  The blog also has a stunning visual layout.  The articles are not being posted with the frequency that they were in the past but they are well worth the way.

Her Majesty's Thunder also offers a line of cool vintage style motorcycle attire on the page.  My favorite is the RE t-shirt.  They are sold out now, but I'm getting one when they come back.

Resources - My Royal Enfields Blog

My Royal Enfields found at http://myroyalenfields.blogspot.com/

This is a really fabulous blog that covers many topics of interest for the Royal Enfield fan.  Jorge Pullin authors the blog and he covers a range from current developments to history of the RE.  One of my favorite features is the "Somewhere in ..." series in which the finds old published references or photos and then gives an updated view of the item he features.  Here is the latest in that series.  I really enjoy this blog because it is fun to read and the author has a deep understanding of all things Royal Enfield.  Jorge Pullin, who coincidentally* is a Physics professor at LSU, really does a great job with this blog.  

*I say coincidentally because I worked at the LSU Paul M Hebert Law Center from 2005 until 2009.  Unfortunately, at the time my life was in a period of transition and I was not actively into motorcycles.  I wish I had been actively involved with motorcycles because I would have liked to have met Prof. Pullin in person.

Resources - Royal Enfield Motorcycle Blog

Royal Enfield Motorcycles, found at: http://www.royalenfields.com/

A great blog with a lot of info on RE motorcycles.  The best thing about this blog is that it lists RE motorcycles being offered for sale on eBay and craigslist in the US.  The list is pretty comprehensive and while it probably doesn't show every RE available out there it really does a very thorough accounting.  It is really maintained in a separate blog but you can get see it all on the Royal Enfield Motorcycle Blog's page.
