Yep - maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but no modern rider or bike will ever look that cool to me.

The first street bike I ever rode was my Great Uncle's Indian Scout when I was 11. I've wanted one ever since. Both my uncle and his Indian are long gone, but some day I'll get a Scout.

Here is another shot of my dad on his Indian in 1943. He is on the white one on the left. On the other bike is my Dad's sister (the passenger) and her future husband, both also on an Indian. The first motorcycle I ever had a ride on was my uncle's Indian in this picture. I think I was about 4 years old at the time. Uncle is now pushing 90, and I understand he still rides, but on a goldwing now. Have not seen him in at least 35 years.

My father runs an Indian Dealer in NJ, he had and event in NY (Bikers for Babies) and Dee Snider (of Twisted Sister) who ownes an Indian came by. Thought you might like this picture. Although still not as cool as your dad on his!

Default Just bought an Indian

I just bought a new 2009 Chief Roadmaster 2 weeks ago. Was able to buy it as a third bike and keep my Harleys. Just turned over 500 miles last night. So far has been fun bike to own and ride. With the $7000 they are giving on 2009's it made the bike affordable for me. My best friend bought a 2010 Bomber last month. We are riding to Charlotte to tour the factory in September.
