 I'd love to have a Crocker or Vincent. Henderson or Indian 4. Probably because most people can't have one. A Vincent engine to build a bike around would be awesome.

An old guy across the street from me when I lived in Arkansas had an Indian 4 in his shop building, just sitting there. You would never have guessed the guy had a dime to his name, but you walk into the crappy old building and it was filled with awesome old stuff. Model T Fords, antique signs, antique clocks, and the beautiful red Indian 4. He left the outside of the building run down with crappy cars parked outside so people would never guess what was inside.

 My buddy has an Indian 4, an Indian chief and a batch of Simplexes. He's restored a few Simplexes for a guy that makes resto parts to fit them
