I used to love these bikes but recently the company execs have been going after Harley Davidson for their "DEI" actions, so my feelings have changed about the Indian line.

Yes I agree with Marcelo about the tones Brent! I had a 1970 Harley 1200 Sportster for many years. Then I crashed it and shredded all the skin off my arms and shoulder, fractured my right clavicle, as the bike and I flew across the forest floor and crashed headfirst into a tree! Thank god I was wearing a helmet!
I was NOT paying attention to the road( an Oregon fire trail)..it turned right and I went straight..straight into a deep culvert!
Sold my bike weeks later!
Thanks Dan. Thinking about scraping the skin off your arms and shoulders gave me the heebie jeebies. Yes, very good thing you wore a helmet. Otherwise we probably wouldn't be looking at your photos here.

The culvert flipped me and the bike on top of me as we slid to across the rough field. I was knocked out for sometime. I do not remember how long. It was a fire road from the Rogue River valley to the Oregon shore. The bike's fork and handlebars were really crooked. I was able to straighten it out enough to get "home" where I passed out.
There are everyday blacks, and then there are "Leica blacks". No question as to which you present in this image. Nicely done, Brent.
As an aside, when I was a kid, we had a young Hispanic gardener, Antonio, or just "Tony". Tony rode a big Indian to work - it was so big and heavy that, when parked, the kickstand punched a hole in our asphalt driveway. Tony had to often stop work during the day to upright his ride.
Alas, Tony and his Indian one day tried to cross paths with a semi at highway speeds.

Din't work out.
Thanks, Paul. Sad story about Tony. I've lost two friends to motorcycle accidents and know how messy they can get.
