Default 1974 indian

I have a 1974 Indian me 100 that sat in the back room of my house for about 15 years, I reciently pulled it out cleaned the carb aired up the tires and changed the oil. She fired right up I`ve been riding it ever since ! Neat little bike I`d post up some pictures but it won`t let me.

that's pretty cool that it set for 15 years and with minimal work, it started.

congrats

It`s a neat little bike I like to take it out once in a while you don`t see to many of them. I`m afraid to use it to mch though parts are not that easy to come by. I had to use some brass fittings on the tank because the petcock fell apart. Thank god for e-bay! Although most of those parts are just as old so ya have to make do. I put the picture in the avitar little tough to see but best i can do for now.

In 1970 I was the local hot shoe around central Alabama. Barry Higgns was hired to take the bounty on me. I had a Honda SL100 modified to the hilt, but legal. Higgins rode a motocross version Indian 100. We made the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa newspaper. I out run him in heat one, he won heat two, I barely won heat three which gave me first in class. We were protested and found legal after the race. You bike brought back some good time memory,s. Thank,s steve931
