How bad do you want one?

Tubs, hope I can bump into you one of these days! We have a lot in common. I have two knees that hurt from cranking those knuckle heads! Ya get the piston up on compression, just push it through compression a little, then move the pedal back to the top and give’er a big push and it slips down to bottom! OUCH! Knee goes to far, try other leg for awhile. Darn thing didn’t always slip but when it did it hurt! They were not the greatest bikes in the world but the prices they get for them now is amazing.

Love those board tracker bikes also! That Indian outboard is cool. Way out a touch for this old guy. Thanks for posting.

Ok, not 5 figures but a very healthy 4 figures.
There was a same vintage Indian that sold on Ebay that was a few miles from me and in better condition that sold for a bit less than half the asking price for this one.
I’m sure some Indian motorcycle collector will snap it up.
Maybe if you buy the Flying Merkel they’ll throw in the Indian as a sweetener 🙂

I thought this looked familiar. We used to ride from Kenosha to Davenport every September in time for the Friday night flat track races. Enter the side entrance for free and set up our tents at the far end of the fairgrounds by a residential neighborhood. Then over to the supermarket for food to cook out, beer and ice. A lot of fine antiques at the show and some interesting people. Big swap meet too. It was a great weekend trip.

One of our members has one and he had oversize pistons made for his. He told me the main problem with the outboard was they used air cooled motorcycle clearances which were too big for water cooled outboards. Most blamed excessive exhaust restriction on the poor performance and drilled extra holes in the muffler to compensate. He proved his point by running his Indian Silver Arrow all day at our Florida Chapter meet. I have to say it performed admirably. I have looked through my pictures and have sadly concluded his pictures must have been on one of the hard drives lost to one of Tampa’s numerous lightning strikes . . . 😥

That seems to be the asking price at this event.
Here is one form 2010.

Here is another. I guess the $7500 is a bargain after all.
