World's fastest Indian

I know.... I know...
It's been discussed before but when I tried to reply I got a warning about replying to a post over 120 days old. 

Just saw this movie the night before last and I'm even more impressed with Bert than I was before.  You have to take a movie as an artistic interpretation of the real life events but if it's anywhere near accurate, he was one cool old dude.  My wife looks at me and asks, "You want to be just like him at that age, don't you?"  How else could I answer?  "Hell yeh!  He rocks!" 

She was less than amused.  I guess the part about him not having a wife didn't occur to me and was ill timed with V-day coming and all.  Oh well. 

Now to finish up the 750F project and find an old Indian or Triumph beater to take on.

You can reply to a topic more than 120 days old. It just asks if you are sure if you want to do it, but it won't stop you.
