using the Frogtape for the first time - good stuff. I had thought of using foil on the forward fuselage but this polished alum. paint looks ok, is wrinkle free, and won't peel off.

I'll be using soldering wire (heavy gauge) for the exhaust piping from the cylinder heads to the collection ring housing. That's what all those holes up front are about.

Hi rgood, My dream bike is a '64 Triumph Bonneville T120. Unfortunately I would have to take out a second mortgage and sell the wife and kids to get it. My wife says that's not going to happen. Go figure!

Hey Biplane Guy! I bought a 1956 Triumph T100 in 1959 - I loved that bike more than any since! I think that they are in the £6,000 range at the moment!

As an 18 year old USN dependent living in Scotland in 1964 I bought my first motorcycle, a 1955 Triumph 500cc Speed Twin. I had to sell it when I left Scotland to join the Air Force. I can only imagine what that bike is worth now. I would love to have something like these Indians, something appropriate for my age. Just add a leather flight helmet and a pair of goggles and I'd be a babe magnet, maybe not.

A friend of mine back in the UK has a 1929 Indian 600cc - very much like the bike! One of the most difficult machines that I ever rode! (left hand throttle, foot operated clutch, right hand advance & retard twist-grip hand gear change etc etc)

not me - I just need the bike and the Stearman..and the money tree it would take to live that dream. I always have my feelers out though, for a vintage bike..Indian, Harley, Norton...even a project would be ok.

In my next life I think I should like to ride one of these to the airfield every day to go fly my Stearman up and down the coast for no particular reason
