I remember seeing pictures of him---one of my father's hero's. My Pop used to be an Indian guy---his mantra was "Harley Davidson, made of tin; Ride it out, push it in'.
Then he got a Harley and would say, "Want some grief, get an Indian Chief; Want some more, get an Indian Four!"
Apparently a Chout was the hot ticket in those days. 80" of screaming sidevalve in a lightweight (well, sorta lightweight) frame......and meanwhile, over in England, Joe Craig was developing the World Beater Manx....and Bessie Stringfield, an African-American woman, circumnavigated the United States on her Harley!
What a great time to be a rider!
