That looks like an early Indian Chief. The sad truth is even in that condition, it's probably still worth more than most KZ's.

I called a guy a little while back on an old F7 "barn find". He though it was a good price "for a running bike". I said can you go and turn the gas on, kick the kicker and it will run? He said no, but it ran when put in storage in THE EARLY 80's so it shouldn't take much to get going. So I said again, "So it's NOT a running bike then."

Guy was a total whack job.

Oh, Ed. This makes me cry.

I'd like to have it for a long term project. Poor thing. :( Dirty Dan had one like it sitting on his roof. He said it was too far gone but liked it up there. :whistle:
