| 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 |

| Who needs a reason? |

| 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. |

| 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) |

| 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. |

| 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! |

| 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! |

| I had a 650 BSA for about 30 years. I did a lot to that bike over the years, and about 90000 miles. |
