First patented in 1968, it's the ACME Jelly-Roll Applicator;

"...for when manual application seems inappropriate"












OK- Troppo is almost there.  Not Indian made, but it's to hold down the valve cover on an Indian so you can check the valves.
Dude- your 8 layers are showing!

Is that one of those things that make your wiener longer?
There are old bikers and there are bold bikers but there are very few old, bold bikers.

It's a leg splint for when the kickstarter throws you over the handlebars and breaks your leg.

  Thats for fine tuning the position of rail cars along a track, I think.  As a kid in a small town, I remember playing superman moving the grain cars around down by the elevators with a tool similar to that.
