Look very closely. He isn't moving. His right foot is on the ground. You can see the shadow of his boot heel.. Look at his right leg. It's angled differently from his left leg.

When did they / you start calling a hat thong or strap a "stampede string"? I never heard that term until I joined SASS in 1993. It's like "wild rags". We called them bandanas or scarves. Neckerchiefs was a sissy term used by the kids for back east who came out to Utah to go to college. We also wore Levis denim "jumpers", now called truckers jackets or just plain denim jackets. And don't even get me started on "chinks". Those were used by blacksmiths and horse shoers, not by cowboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beg to differ with you on this one. A neckerchief was a term used for a piece of the official Boy Scout uniform since 1910. I wore one proudly for many many years. Back me up on this one Hardpan.

You mean “He isn’t moving fast.” He probably had to flintstone because the Indian broke again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 The Indian had the chain on the right side of the bike, Harley had it on the left. Old time biker I used to work with told me you could tell the Harley riders from the Indian riders by looking at the back of their jackets to see which side the oil streak was on.

(early 1940s) Here is one of dad and one of his working horses. Then there is his 4 cylinder Indian. Then there is dad on the Indian tearing up the yard back of the barn.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 My dad in 1946. His birthday was December 7. He went down to the recruiting office on December 8, 1941, but they would not let him enlist because he had just turned 16. On the day of his 17th birthday, December 7, 1942, he joined the Navy. He bought the motorcycle with money he had saved while serving in the Pacific. He was not yet 21 in the photo. This was Indian's brand new model for 1946. It was the first one without the leaf springs in the front. P.S. He was an Indian on an Indian. He was born and raised on the Red Lake Indian Reservation in Minnesota.
