its 1908 in California a Boiler Tender with his pride and joy a circa 1907 "Camelback" Indian, a single-cylinder testament to the era's burgeoning technology. Its distinctive sloping rear tube, reminiscent of a camel's hump, hinted at the freedom it offered – a stark contrast to the factory's monotonous hum.

Be neat to see how much he spent on it at what it would bring $$ today.


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.

A few years back I heard of someone finding an original camelback. Bought if from the nephew of the original owner for $1000 who thought they where getting on over on the buyer. Forget what it was valued at then but know it was well over 100K. There is a lot of cool that goes with old Indian motocycles!
