Greetings, I'm new to the AMCA, not new to old bikes. I reside in the Tar Heel State, although I did not attend school in Chapel Hill. I have ridden the better part of 40 years. I am a 3rd generation Indian man. I'm a semi-retired psychotherapist and maintain a small private practice to keep me in parts! Now so have some time on my hands and joined up. I have several friends on here. I own 2 bikes, one antique a 1947 Indian Chief I'm building the other a 2002 Gilroy Chief. I know there is alot of prejudice towards the Gilroys, I love mine and hope to one day buy a Kings Mountain Indian to round out my collection. I have toured the factory there and interact with the folks at the dealership there frequently. I respect those "purists" who feel the company died in 1953, or was it 1954, or even 56? I have a different perspective. I love Springfield Indians the most, but love the others, and feel they have a place in the Indian community as well. I travel to Davenport yearly, and am headed to Rhinebeck this year. I feel honored to be in the company of y'all. I visited the new display in Springfield in November to see what the museum did with Ms. Mathos collection. They had a "glimpse" view of things to come when they open November of this year. I am married to a Kiwi girl and travel to New Zealand at least once a year to visit my in-laws would like to get to Invercargill to the Burt Munroe races one year, have been to the Pukehoe show there in the past.
