There were a couple old Aerials to, didn't take a good pic of them.

There was a 441 BSA Victor that needed restoring. A bike I always liked, almost as much as the Triumphs. But they were known to beat the heck out of you when the kick start came to the back of your leg.

The old Indina and the older Harley's were way cool.

Link to the history of the Indian:

Btw.....


On July 20, 2006, the newly formed Indian Motorcycle Company, owned largely by Stellican Limited, a London (http://powerlineman.com/wiki/London)-based private equity firm, announced its new home in Kings Mountain, North Carolina (http://powerlineman.com/wiki/Kings_Mountain,_North_Carolina), where it has restarted the Indian motorcycle brand,[37] (http://powerlineman.com/lforum/#cite_note-36) manufacturing Indian Chief motorcycles in limited numbers, with a focus on exclusivity rather than performance, like a 'luxury' watch. Starting out exactly where the defunct Gilroy IMC operation left off in 2003 all of the new models are continuation models based on the new series of motorcycles developed in 1999. The 2009 Indian Chief incorporated a redesigned 105-cubic-inch (1,720 cc) Powerplus V-twin powertrain with electronic closed-loop sequential-port fuel injection,[38] (http://powerlineman.com/lforum/#cite_note-37) and a charging system providing increased capacity for the electronic fuel injection (http://powerlineman.com/wiki/Electronic_fuel_injection).

In April 2011, Polaris Industries, the off-road and leisure vehicle maker and parent-company of Victory motorcycles (http://powerlineman.com/wiki/Victory_motorcycles), announced its intention to acquiring Indian Motorcycle. Indian's production facilities were moved to Spirit Lake, Iowa, and production began there on August 5, 2011.[39] (http://powerlineman.com/lforum/#cite_note-MO_USA_12Chief1stPics-38)

LA I'm surprised too. . .I'm about a day late and a dollar short. I just happened on this thread today. Nice pics DH, My first bike was a 1949 Indian Arrow, one lunger (it wasn't new when I got it either in case ya'll may have gotten that thought) I had it around 1961 or 62


Mine was like the first yellow one in this group (I Lied, that first yellow one is a Scout twin. Mine was yellow but like the first red one just left of the yellow twin)
