A motorcycle that has earned the term 'Patina'

[canuck750]

1919 Indian Power Plus, an honest 99 year old well earned patina, not the overused description of some 30+ year old lump of neglected motorcycle on Craigslist assumed to be a classic

Wouldn't it be great to potter around on this!

I am always amazed when an original, unmolested, bike of this caliber surfaces this surfaces!!! - - and right in my backyard - - Prescott, AZ!!

What a nicely profiled motorcycle. Really a looker...

This is where you'll learn the term "engine braking".  The coaster rear brake will surely stop the bike.....eventually .

Too bad about the crappy exhaust welded to the cylinder heads.

Wouldn't it be great to run across the country with a whole crowd of new friends "racing" your way from Portland Maine to Portland, Oregon?

 Perhaps not...the flex tube is welded to a pipe stub with an extension piece that appears bolted to the head..

[Yukonica]

But will it make it up and back down the Dempster? Travel partner for a Falcone?

[acguzzi]

I'd be all over it if it didn't have a flat tire

We're planning on at least going to northern Illi nois and watching.

[Roebling3]

All in, that may be a 9 or 10K-USD  adventure. Any 2 strokes?   R3~ 

[chuck peterson]

Anyone build a two stroke pre 1929? Flying Scot something?

I had a 13 Indian single it's the first year of the rear suspension they don't have dampers they want to toss you off on some roads. I sold it and my 15 flying merkel back in y2k bought my quota if I get another antique it's going to be a early guzzi
