A little too clean for me.  I prefer when they have the factory protective coating.

Come on Bill, Im sure I speak for most on here when I say it's time to stop torturing yourself with these pictures of Indians ::)


It's high time you sold your house and possessions, pawned your family (and the pets if necessary), and bought one, you know you need to ;D


It goes without saying obviously, that no CB's should be included in the above sale ;)

             I hear ya CrisP, but I just have to face reality and get on with it. I am planning on getting shed of some of my projects (not the CBs or my CLs. I've got a 74' CL450K6 and a 62' CL72 also). I'll just keep my eyes peeled for a possible acquisition in the future and see how it goes. Maybe I could get Phil and/or Uncle Ernie to put me in their will. ;D ::) Not that I'm wishing them a short life or anything. ;D ::)

                                                             Later on, Bill :) ;)

I know what you're saying there Bill :( I'm the same way with the GT350 Mustang that I will own one day ;D


I wouldn't worry too much about wishing a short life on Ernie ;) Besides you're a few decades too late anyway :)

           Oh man, in the way of cars, I wish I still had my 66' Dodge Charger (383 V8 w/4speed and positrac and the 69' road runner (I had when I met my wife) along with her car, which was also a 69' road runner (that's how I met my wife). ;)

           Thanks a lot on the age thing there. ::)  You didn't haveto say that! Did you? ???
You been talking to Uncle? Wait, are you talking about Ernie or Uncle Ernie? There is a difference.

                                                            Later on, Bill :) ;)

Well I really like riding my cuz's 1944 Military Chief Bill, but er, well, do you think this Indian makes me look fat?  ???  ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Now that is one cool looking bike Terry 8)

I'd say it's more than likely the beer that's made you look fat, rather than the bike ;)

I think you're right Crispy, the pic was taken on New Years Day and I was still "under the weather" somewhat, from lots and lots of alcohol, ha ha! Cheers, Terry. ;D

G'Day Bill, no worries mate, I'll take it for a belt for you, ha ha! It is a lovely thing to ride once you get used to a foot clutch and a hand shifter, but it's smooth (smoother than a Harley Road King I rode 2 weeks ago) and with bags of torque, so once mobile, you just select top gear and cruise, woohoo! The race bike has been relegated to "second fiddle" to the K1 (now legally on the road) but I'll start on it again once I've finished ironing out all the K1's (minor) bugs.............. Cheers, Terry. ;D
