Family, passion, accomplishment, and satisfaction…. This is why we do this!

As our 1929 Indian 101 mechanical restoration comes to a close, a few I would like to remember at the starting line next September:

• You can never get enough time with your family, so when you get that time, it should be enjoyed.
• Hard work does pay off when the work is done right.
• Everyone in this hobby can relate, the Cannonball is an ADDICTION!!!
• Believe it or not, this bike started on the second kick after the rebuild 🙂

There are still several things left to get this machine ready for the Cannonball, but the list is definitely getting shorter.  Here are some pictures of the finished product.

Rider # 6 2020 Cannonball – Indian 101 Scout Rebuild

Buck’s Indian is getting started early on their projects this year!  Here is Justin’s 1929 Indian 101 Scout that he and his father (Steve) worked on recently.  The mechanical restoration included a complete motor and transmission rebuild, as well some front end improvements, front/rear wheel rebuild, and front/rear brake overhaul.  The gas tank was repaired and coated and a new set of tires went on to round out this project.  Many more things yet to do on the bike to make it Cannonball worthy, but this was a fantastic start by Justin and Steve (with a few helpers along the way 🙂 )

Little Miss Red is Finished! – 741 Bobber Project

After starting on my Indian 741 Bobber project over a year ago, I have finally finished.  The bike turned out better than I could have dreamed.  I spent many long weekends in my garage, but the hard work has paid off.  At the bottom, I’ve attached some pics of the project shortly after I started mocking the bike together.  It has come a long way.  My son Karson takes the first ride on the completed 741 Bobber 🙂

Almost Complete – 741 Bobber Project

It’s been almost one year since I started on this project and it is nearly complete.  I got some minor motor adjustments to make, magneto to rebuild, and send the exhaust out for chrome plating.  All and all, it is essentially done.  I think Dad, Granddad, and brother like the bike too!  They all look pretty proud in these photos.
