Was a good laugh meeting James actually. I still prefer the bus thing to the Van thing!

Ok. well, I guess I've not seen you before, or your bus. I only see your screen name here. :-)

Good thing I didn't post the other comments that were running through my head!

It's all good. I saw that Indian Motorcycle garb and my whole attitude improved!

Nice shine on the stainless, too!

I was involved in the powertrain design of the Indian bikes, both the thunderstroke and the new scout engine.

I'm a fan of the new Indian. Just can't justify the cost. I'm not a fan of the scout. Poor ergonomic design, and too much power for that small frame.

Too much power? Interesting concept

I have a pair of Floyd Clymer Indian Velos Bought them in the late 60s when Southeast Indian filed bankruptcy.

One I tagged and rode to Daytona bike week in 1972.

they are now stored in the very back of the barn. Got into dirt bikes.

They led to the bus.

only way to travel to dirt bike races and survive

Yeah, I know. But, being that it's target audience is young riders and small females...
