Silver Sam, SASS #34718L Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Right around the spring of 1956 when I was about 8 years old, my older sister's boyfriend showed up on our front lawn to pick her up. My sister of course was Not yet Ready. So I went out to say Hi…. And he was on his New (to him) motorcycle…… To this day I still have that image burned into my memory……. It was Identical to Yours! Same color, same Indian Chief on the front fender, everything…. He saw me drooling and said "Hop On" He scooted back in the seat and I jumped on in front straddling the seat and tank and we took off before my Mom could get out of the door to stop us.… And OMG I was in Heaven! I fell instantly In Love with Motorcycles! And still am almost 70 years later………. Wish I had an extra $33 Grand laying around…. Thanks for Posting!!!!!! 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Wish Harleys held their value like the late 90s! Got 28K into mine and it's only worth about 6-7K now. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Fire, SASS 10064 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Beautiful bike! my father raced flat track locally on an Indian. He just always loved them over the Harley. It had a 1947 Chief that he displayed at auto shows locally . Very classic bike. I am sure you hate to part with it. all the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pee Wee #15785 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 70 year old brother just bought a 50 Harley he helped rebuild with over $30,000 in receipts, shifter on the tank, and kick start. It now has 300 miles on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang, that thing is gorgeous! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireball #7709 Life Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Out of my price range, but it'd be fun to ride something like my Grandfather (pictured) rode back in the day! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dred Bob Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I ride a new Roadmaster but there is NOTHING like a classic. Our Indian rider group meets up with a Vintage Indian group every year and does a ride in the hills and I can't help but wish I had the skills to own one. You have an amazing bike. If you have a more public link I can pass on to the group I'd be happy to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
