         Great post there. That is one cool looking BSA now! I went in and checked that one out and noticed that there was an article on the Indian Warrior. Years ago, My Dad took an old Indian Warrior, along with some of the vertical twin Scout motor parts and built a Warrior that would haul! He put the rear frame section (w/ swingarm & shocks) of a 50's AJS, the gastank off of a Mustang (not the car!), installed a lucas magneto, built and installed a 2 into 1 scrambler type pipe on it. If any of you have ever seen a TT Warrior, his looked similar, only it had features the TT model didn't have and it would blow the wheels off the 650 Triumphs of that period. I remember one particular race (I was in grade school) and that Triumph made 3 trips back to the Dealer, in Little Rock, to work on the bike and go back to try to beat that Indian and NEVER did. Thanks for bringing back some memories for me. Those were some good times     

                                                   Later on, Bill :) ;)
