Welcome from Florida!

 

[Lordredd]

Lord didn't realise Texas was part of the bible belt.. g'day and welcome from one of the heathen Aussies.

Tomcat,

To be quite honest I think that Texas is the Bible Belt Buckle.

If you're a heathen you'd fit right in. We wash up nice on Sunday the rest of the week is free game!

From Tacoma, WA to somewhere in TX, WELCOME!
So . . . just how old is an "Old Rider"???

1olbull,

Not old in age, old in many years and too many miles of riding to count.

Thanks for the warm welcome from Grand Prairie Texas

Understood!
Perhaps I be in the same boat - see avatar of my first motor.

Now that is a thing of beauty. The simplicity and craftsmanship of pre-1970 motorcycles and cars will always amaze me.

I would love to get an Indian 841 in my garage and bring it back to life.

Always was a stable of 6 or more Indians around our house when I was growing up.
At 14 I used to sneak out the Warrior - it was the smallest one until an Arrow showed up.

Wow, that's a great way to grow up!

The Arrow was the single 200 cc wasn't it? Small and nimble.

I grew up on dirt bikes, moved up to a few hand built Harley pans and shovels I could scrounge parts to Frankenstein together. Built two Guzzi's too.

I still have my dads 73 AMF sportster in the garage. It's been drained and winterized for the past 8 years or so. When I get a little extra $ I'll get it back on the street. Bikes like it are rare, most Harley's around here only see about 2,000 miles a year. It has 116k miles on it all original.

Darn, an AMF with that kind of mileage?!?!?!?
I use to ride those on the PD and they were toast by 10K miles.
Yours must be real rare indeed!
