Nostalgia for the Fury

- Aravind Sethuraman

Loved Sarmad Kadiri’s article on the Royal Enfield Fury. I owned a 1987 model with the rubberized paint on it. I bought it from an elderly gentleman who had managed to do 8,000 kilometres over 10 years and warned me of the ridiculous power it could bring to the table. Had the bike for over six years and covered over 80,000 km. Experiment­ed everything then possible with it. Had a couple of major accidents as well but we survived everything. One day, I came back from an official tour and found the motorcycle missing. Turned out that my father had sold the Fury off without my permission. I even reached out to the buyer who promptly refused to return the motorcycle. To date my search for a Fury continues but I have not had any luck as yet. Dear Aravind,

Thanks for sharing your story. These classic bikes never fail to ignite nostalgia. Great to know you are still riding and keeping your passion alive. All the best!
