My Father in Laws' Collection of fully restored Pre- 1915 Indian Motorcycles. 1908 "Monkey on a Stick", 1910 Wagner only one of 25 left, 1910 single cylinder track board racer among others. Hemmings did a couple articles on him a while back. If interested he may have one for sale. Let me know if your serious and I'll get his contact info to you.

Maybe those guys from that popular TV show "American Pickers" would come visit. They have plenty of cash.
Here is their website. JP

Funny, I was just going to ask if your father in law was Mike Wolfe. I bet they would be into seeing those for sure! Do your homework first if you contact them. They are worth a pretty penny.

These are next to my first love as well; you must be proud to own such rare pieces from the past.

Enclosed here are a few of my favorite photos. Hope they are in tune with your thread.

That is a great collection. :icon_thumright:
There was an auction of vintage and collectors motorcycles here in
New Zealand yesterday. Here is a link to the catalogue. The pricing guide
is in NZ Dollars. 1NZ dollar=76 US cents at todays rates makes for some good buying.
I dont see the auction results posted yet.
A clicky on the photos embiggins them.

By the way..at the risk of offending someone.. I think that skinny guy from
"American Pickers" is the most irritating and patronising person on TV!
