I was looking around at the Antique Motorcycle Club of America website and saw this beauty. I never knew it existed. It's a 1916 Indian model K, no pedals, single cylinder "TWO STROKE ENGINE". I was laughing at the tank, it's virtually the same shape as mine. I thought all Indian fuel tanks were round, but this proves otherwise. Now I can say "they made flat sided tanks too". It takes 26x2.25 tires.

Hey, you found one of the old "Canadian Indians". Hendee did a bit of subcontracting out now and then. If I remember right, that's what this was about to.
Right now, on Craigslist, in Xenia OH, a man is selling a 50s Indian Fire Arrow. That's another one where the Indian name is on it, but Royal Enfield actually built the bike.
The Indian marque has much history and variety.

Okay, this is weird. I tried to edit a typo, and ended up with a double post. How'd I do that? (DID I do that?)
