    That is stunning, Barry, and talk about 'well optioned'. There just aren't enough Hendersons in this world and seem to be quite rare on these forums. I hope you do well with it, and I envy the lucky person that gets it.

        Thanks guys for the nice comments. It is painful to let stuff go and I actually bought 2 more bikes within the last month ! A 1939 Tiger 100 and a 1964 BMW R60. Pretty crazy to be buying more but they are both particular significant bikes to me. At 74 with a few health issues I figured it was time to let some of my babies go. I miss the Indian 4. It was one of the best bikes I ever owned. I put 10000 glorious miles on that beauty. I am not 100% sure I can bring myself to let the Hen go ! It's my only four and with the hack I don't have to worry about it falling over ! I won't be advertising it anywhere else.
