Hi Dave
Would you believe I'm still in the process  of learning to put pics online.  I will try later when I get these pics on a disc.
So leave it a bit but I wont forget - tho' it may be a while.
These were in South India, and one had Greaves on the engine plate - Greaves of Aurangabad, I think, and not the Greaves I remember as a yoof. But maybe there'sa connection. Another had Royal Enfield on the engine as a transfer, but I think the transfer wasnt original - I dont think RE makes diesel engines. Incidentally you can visit the RE factory here for a fiver, but Madras is so shitty I left asap.
One was tatty as hell and another was immaculate - I asked the guy how many kms per litre and he said 70. It was very like the Enfield with the German diesel engine, which I saw at HU Germany. I forget the name of the engine - but they stick them into an Enfield frame. i saw 2 others just parked in the street.
I really fancy that new Dutch diesel but it's too dear for me. So I'll have to stick to my AT, tho' I like the bike. so no worries there.
Anyway i dont want to get off topic any more so good luck to the OP - tell us what you decided in the end; where did you hole up?
