I like the shifters on both yours and Dan's bikes (as well as everything else!) pretty cool concept and design from both you guy's.

Oh my that bike is beautiful beyond words. I look at it and I can hear angels singing.

That on-coming rainstorm looks mean. Living near to the coast like I do we get super heavy rainstorms caused by upper atmosphere saturation. When that happens everyone keeps an eye on the river because it can rise very fast going from a lazy flow to a boiling torrent in no time at all.

Man, that new Indian is sweet. Dan built my Indian Board Track racer, and I know his work gets better and better the closer you look at it. He is a master.

Wow Trukd, I am so jealous of your bike!

Dan's creation goes so far beyond tribute bike, it is like watching a real 1916 Indian going through the assembly line (if there even was a line) in a company tutorial film.

Other than the modern engine, this bike seems to be a blueprint reproduction of the original. I can only imagine the wide smile and exhilaration you will feel on the maiden voyage!

One question I have to ask, but I totally understand if it's personal info you'd rather not share, ... How much is this bike going to cost? From the amount of work involved, I have to guess between $6,000 and $10,000, if not more.

Not only is Dan's skill unsurpassed, his attention to detail is sharp, he must have logged many man-hours into this project.

Like I said, I'm super jealous, it's like your going to have an actual 1916 Indian, priceless.

Thanks! I will pass the kind words onto Dan unfortunately it is not my bike and the cost is somewhere in-between your guess.

Yes the details are truly incredible! Dan truly is a leader in his field Talents Galore!

Dang it, this bike isn't yours? I missed that part, sorry about that, I guess we can be jealous together.

Whoever gets it, I hope they ride the stuff out of it, and not just display it somewhere, although Dan's bike does deserve that.
