Grandpas bikes.

Any Yamaha Twin Jet 100's in there? My first at 14 years of age and 95 lbs.
Uh, that Snap On Calendar is expired.

Bought a wrecked twin jet 100 in my youth. With dads help, mounted the engine on a go-cart. It was totally fast.

Visited my grandpa today and went through some of his sheds and garages. This is a small fraction of his collection. He has A LOT of old flat track bikes, dirt bikes, and some odd balls. Here are a few that stuck out to me today.

Man, I could spend a day or more in there just looking around. Amazing collection.

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.

Wow! He has a damn motorcycle museum in there. I love old bikes. No wheelie control, no traction control, no ABS, no ECU, etc… just pure engine and rider

I’m diggin that Elgin bicycle behind the Indian Warrior. Roben, we need more pics!

 

[cal7.62x39]

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.

Then there is the 46 indian chief.

 

[cal7.62x39]

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.
