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 |
