I don't know who currently owns this or even if it is valid but I do know the Nebraska State Patrol did have Indians during WWII.

Actually I don't think my RoadStar is noisy. Some audible chatter from the valve train at certain loads and rpms but no knock. When I ran loud pipes even the chatter I mentioned couldn't be heard but that Indian sure is noisy. Antique or not I think it should be quieter. Still, it's pretty awesome for it's year.

Stop signs don't mean much to this guy do they and he sure is hung up on right hand turns too. Maybe it's a good thin the bike makes a lot of noise maybe the cagers can hear him when he run the stop signs.

This is more typical of what an Indian sounded like.

I'm guessing the guy in the first video didn't really know much about the bike.
Starting them was easy.You retarded the spark, kicked once to prime, tilt the bike to the right so the gas would run into the cylinders, kick once more to start.
The right hand turns is because he's not used to a foot clutch on the left. Until you're used to that, left hand turns really suck

On the top of the clip it said "1 of the last 6". The way that guy drives it won't be long before there are only 5.
