Indian Chief description

fully restored 1947 Indian Chief Motorcycle. If you are in the market for one, I doubt you will find 1 in nicer condition. I am listing this motorcycle for my neighbor Harold, since he doesn't use ebay. All of the photos were taken today, 08/29/2013 and show the bike in its current condition. He has fully restored 3 Indian motorcycles, and knows these bikes inside and out. He just sold the red 1946 Indian Chief that was listed for sale on ebay, this 1 is restored to the same high-level.

1916 Indian Board Track Racer

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

The simplicity of this 1916 Indian Board Track Racer is what makes it so beautiful. Board Track was popular during the early part of the 20th century where cars and motorcycles competed at these stadiums where the surface was composed of wooden boards.
