    long time first time

    Hey,

    I'm Joe, long time AMCA member. I'm in north east Jersey about 10 miles outside of the city. I've been around antique bikes since I was a kid, I remember my father taking us to meets back in the early 70's. I've been lurking on this site for a while, but couldn't see a lot of the content cause I wasn't part of the forum, so here I is.

    I'm mainly into the Indian brand, but enjoy seeing all the other makes as well. Looking forward to seeing more.

    Welcome Joe! Hey, we were just wondering about why people don't show up on the forum very much, so perfect timing on your part

    Love to see a picture or three of your Indians!

      Hello pisten-bully,

      Not sure about the photo uploading, but will give it a shot. I guess its good practice.

      Here is my 1942 Sport Scout bobber:

      I also got a 1925 Chief and a 1940 Chief, but I think the limit is 5 photos.

                  Thanks guys,

                  Well my father has had Indians since his teen years so I guess it rubbed off. I do ride them, but not too far, I got a BMW for traveling. The 101 hasn't run though, the motor was literally seized due to rust (it was underwater twice) and is currently apart on my workbench.

                  Actually I put the 42 Sport Scout together as a racer to run at TROG years ago, but then I decided to make it street legal to bop around on.

                  The 101 is on hold currently as I'm working on another Sport Scout project.
