A Pope...and a Harley Davidson race bike, three weeks ago...

I saw this crazy fake Indian motor bike the other day. Can’t figure out the cloth wrapped grips and pedals.

I came across this bonerfide original and untouched antique boardtracker Indian this past weekend. I immediately messaged @New Mexico Brant , but he foolishly passed on it. Your loss bud!

If anyone is interested, feel free to message for contact info.

Zoom in on the bottom of the stem. Going for max height?

I really wanted the title of this post to read "A Pope and a Darley Havidson roll into a bar?"

I might be drunk but that sure looks like a dyno cruiser modified a bit. Chastise as you might....

Yeah, the worst thing about the Indian, and the Harley-Davidson bicycle, is that 99.9 % of them are fake bikes.
With most of those being feeble attempts at best.
If it ain’t a bona fide original condition bike, it’s most likely a fab job in some shape or form.
That isn’t to say, that there are a few .1 % correctly restored bikes out there, but they are few, and very far between.

Thank you for clarifying this...v good info...
