Man that barn is a dang museum! The pickers could spend a week in there. Most excellent!

I worked with a guy in commiefornia that was a total freak over original Indian MCs. He built parts for them and even had some original blueprints. The earlier the better was his deal. If he's still alive, he'd likely be able to tell you anything you needed to know about those of your grandpa. He was a walking encyclopedia on Indian motorcycles and a really nice guy to boot.

I didn't take too many. I will take the little ones for a visit soon and get more pics. That was all in just one building. He has them spread out in 2 or 3 then just laying out over 5 acres. The blue one is what he's working on now. It's a 52.

His favorite bike to race was the 57 competition model. He says that there were less than 40 made of his model and he somehow wound up with one. The last bike he raced was the 750

Then his newest acquisition was the Indian warrior. He doesn't know if he will have time to start on it.

When I get back to the city I will try to catalog a lot more. To be up front and honest though... He says NOTHING is for sale LOL. He also still has every car he has ever owned (and wrecked) floating around his property, he use to build, has, and flys untralights. And old chopper/VW trikes.
