Cool old bikes

[Tony]

Ran into these at an antique store. Wife says they are all original, and not for sale. After some discussion, however, it's apparently the husband who says "not for sale"...the wife implied more of an open mind.

1945 Indian, 1947 Indian, and a 1945 Harley Police Cruiser.
Pics were hard to shoot as these items were kind of up in the rafters.

Here are a few other bikes this guy has.
I felt like one of the guys on "American Pickers"!

Wow -
That's some nice wall art. I like the old airplane propellers too.

Elaine and I went to the Publix in the Villages a few weeks ago and saw a nicely restored Harley circa 1947 or so....hand shift, suicide clutch and all.
I hadn't seen one in years and was surprised how small over all it was compared to its contemporaries. Also how noisy the clutch was when disengaged. Still a very cool bike.
The Whizzer brings back memories. A teen age chum had one. It was good for about 25-30 MPH, I think. Pretty safe beginner bike and a lot more practical than a Cushman scooter, although not as popular as the Cushman.
Nice find. I imagine if you wanted one, you'd need a lot of coin. Bike prices hav e gone crazy lately.

George, loud clutches save lives. Ask any Ducati owner. :wink:
