Got our Indian Roadmaster in late Frebruary and been working on her little by little ever since.  She's got custom headers, exhaust, air intake, seat/upholstery, 19" front rim/tire, and a bunch of other little mods/bolt-ons.  I'M DONE, LOL...thought you all might like to see her.  Sorry for the crappy picture, I'm not a very good photographer

Can't open but I know the labor of love involved especially for in Indian.

My son brought one back from Wichita for his business partner about five years ago. His business partner has every 1972 Triumph Model restored to show room condition. Quite a collection.

Was working fine yesterday....not sure what account I need to update to get the pics to start showing again, here or at photobucket.  Hmmm

I think photobucket just started charging $400.00 a year ...

Don't use it but one in a great while so haven't paid a lot of attention....the site is awful it has so many pop up adds....guess I'll have to find another hosting site.

on the motorcycle topic... spent last week in Manhattan Beach and was lanesplit by a guy on a Zero...  scared the S outta me...  I have NOTHING against lanesplitting but doing so a motorcycle that makes virtually no sound is nuts...  came out of nowhere...  interesting looking bike though... gotta be a great commuter.

I don't lane split too often on my bike, she's a little big to be slipping between cars :)  BUT she let's you know she's there with a nice rumble :0
I wouldn't get a bike that's quiet like that..  Big and loud is the best bike, so people know you are around.
