[c.o.]

Rob, by chance did you notice what these little fold-up bikes were? I've got a couple of these things at home and don't have any idea what they are!!!!

Oh, and did you get the low down on why that shiney Emblem was displayed in a bondage type fashion?

Great shots...

[Ohio-Rider]

Anyone got any details on what happened here? Hope rider can out safe.

They used to crash the boards years ago .......but not on Indian Fours

[sirhrmechanic]

Louie... that was the first thought that popped into my head. Only I was wondering why the boards weren't on fire?

I figured, out of respect to the owner (who I hope is ok, along with his bike), I'd bite my tongue...

Glad someone else out there shares a similar twisted sense of humor.

To the owner/rider... That will buff out. It can be fixed. Hope you are ok!

Cheers,

Sirhr

that was a brand new owner, who had never ridden a foot clutch before. he lost control and hit the electric panel, they took him to the hosiptal. no report of how he made out.

Seriously?

There are so many things that could be said, but yet I'm speechless.

Years ago, In a lapse of judgement I let a friend of mine ride my '41EL. He did well for awhile, going up and down the street, then he got over confident, lost control and hit a fence. He wasn't hurt, and the bike was okay too; until he lifted it up. It was still running and still in gear. Off it went, dragging him until he let go. The bike stopped when it hit a house. . . . Tom's observation sums it up; speechless.

Guilty....

I once sold a knuckle to a stranger who hadn't ridden a foot clutch. After proper instruction he decided to hop on the bike and try it. Immediately he did just the opposite as he had been instructed and headed off into a path way at an AMCA meet. Somehow entangling himself, the knuck and two bicycle ridding children, Breaking free from that mess he nearly plowed into several other knuckles before coming to a stop . Increditably, absolutely no damage was done in any way other than his pride.

It happens!

Speechless is right. Anyone who has been at Rhinebeck knows the place is surrounded with large parking lots and fields.

And now we know why the Canadian Army H-D WLC, designed and specified by Captain Tony Miller, had a hand clutch as well as the foot clutch!
Hope the rider/crasher in this case only has wounded pride.

The 1908 Indian Camelback is not what it appears to be. The guy had it at Oley this year for the same price. Said that it was a combination of 2 or 3 years of Camelback parts. He said that the battery box is a fake and was made up of an old can. Unfortunately, someone without a good knowledge of early Indians will come by and buy it. So, buyer beware.

i'd give you 6 to odds the bike has no insurance and that this will not end nice for either party.

The $3700 14 HD twin engine illustrated above is not.......

my 42 wlc also had the throttle reversed push to increase pull to decrease - not surre if was stock or changed during the war but very helpful when learning to ride foot clutch machine
