Thanks for the memories, Coke. I felt like I was 25 again. Bought my first bike in 1966 and have had one or two ever sense. ------------- Real heros wear dogtags, not capes. |

Some nice old bikes. Don't own any bikes now and have not ridden one since 1977 but still appreciate good machines. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

Impressive bikes! My dad owned an Indian 4 back long before I came along, finally found a Indian twin and restored it, he sold it when he realized he could no longer ride it safely. One summer we stopped at a town in Kansas and saw a custom Indian six, it was built by Harold Ottaway, a very talented man who restored old tractors and other interesting machines. He cut one block in half and mounted it to the other full 4 cylinder block. I was maybe 13 or 14 at the time and when he took me for a ride, I remember saying it sounded like a Oliver tractor. He said he really enjoyed the smooth power. He had thought about mating two 4's together but decided it would make the bike too long. ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |

Just did a quick wipedown on couple and then the P11 hit with the pressure washer set low . Was kind of trying to count the numbers in my shop now - think about 25 bikes there - son was doing some work over at other house and cleaned out the basement - so I get to store them in my shop . ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.
