    And it looks great, you just dont see many on the road.
    They seem to be more popular and common in the UK. Several companies reproducing parts for them over there. Amazingly, many parts for them are still available OEM. I’ve purchased several less common replacement parts trying to future proof it just in case I need them if they become unavailable.

    That is surprising to hear, You will be glad you bought those parts down the road.
    We will see old Harley Knuckle, Pan and Shovel head parts start to dry up after my generation kicks off. Some old hoarder seems to croak every few months and NOS stuff hits the market.
    I bought a pickup load of nos Pan parts from a retiring mechanic about 20 years ago. I'm glad I did.

    And all HDs

    Guess the Indian Twin has too much HP for them.
    Maybe so, the reality is. All jokes aside. you ride a good looking motorcycle sir.
    You really do.
    Now to hurt your feeling.

    Harley produced a 82 hp long push rod 750 in 1969-70 as a production motorcycle. Those vintage 750's are still winning races.
    Thats gotta be a bit embarrassing to get beaten by 50 year old engineering and manufacturing processes.

    Let us know when this Indian company wins as many AMA Grand Championships as Harley Davidson has already won. I don't think it will happen with Indian tending not to stay in business long enough to win that many races.

    Anybody partaking in the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride on the 19th?
    I am registered and have donated so I am a GO. I have my KTM and my krew has a Ural, BMW, old school RD350 and Kawasaki H3 so far.

    So a little Indian puts out 25% more HP than a HD racer?

    Yea, I'm amused also, that all Indian could get out of an engine almost twice that XR's size was a 20% gain. Tell your boys to get working on those Grand National Championships.
    Hey, the rest you have been going to in Tipton, is that The Shack?

    How was it? The reports I'm getting are reasonably good. Was there a bartender working that is a size 2, spandex, cute, Elwood girl. I'll have to look and see if its open for lunch maybe on thurs or fri.
    She used to tend bar at Quinns in Alec.

    Restaurants in small towns are always worth a shot.

    Is the one you're referencing a gal with "blonde" hair around shoulder length?

    I would believe so, I had a very nice twin bed with oak head and foot boards on it that I gave her for one of her kids. It was the top bunk and was never used. She stopped over and when her and her guy friend were loading the bed up, one of my neighbors about broke his neck watching her walk around in those super tight yogas. LOL

    Could be. You can go and find out yourself while supporting a local joint!

    The gal working the bar when I was there was very good and had a good dose of personality. I think she was from Tipton though...of course, that could have just been to throw my buddy off of her trail.

    Lol. I'll stop in soon. I believe she owns or owned a home in Elwood when she worked here. But that was last summer.

    And when I read your post the next night I started surfing what was available for this old limey I bought earlier this week. Like you posted a huge amount are available still from Triumph, I'm really looking at a stripped down wiring harness without all of the accessory's and no battery.
    This is a 68 Triumph 650 Tiger vintage chopper lol, King queen, Coffin, rigid, 5 spoke Invader Ft wheel with a mini drum brake, vintage off take front girder of a Sugar Bear front end, swastika brake light. Its a blast out of the past.
    It has been in a garage for at least 12 years and I'm guessing twice that long.
    I need to look and see when the tires were made to help me figure things out.
    Thank you!!!
