some like the Indian

My contractor neighbor took in a 1931 Indian when a customer could not pay his bill. The bike was like new. I did not like the backwards brake, shift and throttle. I rode it around the field behind our house. This was in 1956 when I was 16.
 
Pete, you're just knockin' 'em outa the park since you got back from vacation. Nice to have 'Pete the Enlarger' back in town. Here's my favorite old guy on a bike photo.

I spent most of my money on old Fords AND Indians, the rest of it I just wasted!

Great thread!

For you motorcylists, visiting Dale Walksler's https://wheelsthroughtime.com/ is nirvana!

My wife and I visited it a number of years ago and loving it! Well this guy came up and gave us a tour, whom I found out later was Dale! He gave me a permanent pass and a jersey and hat gratis :-) He also did a fast turnaround in the museum on the Excelsior Super X! A great guy who loves it ....
