1911 Indian board track racer homage

I saw a picture of a 1911 Indian race bike and said,"I can do that!" and did it. 200 hours of labor and love went into this bike. Never, ever for sale.

This will never do. We need a lot more pics. Great job.
Of course, you know we will be looking for ideas!

Thanks. Unfortunately I received PM from one of the administrators of this site saying that pictures are not allowed in large format, such as mine are, so not wanting to break any rules here, if you go to this link:

I simply have much too many large format pictures and info to have to convert to take over to Motoredbikes.com , so please go to Ratrodbikes for the photos. It would simply take far too long for me to convert. Ratrodbikes evidently has no pic size limits. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks.

You can easily convert your large pics into viewable thumbnails.

Cobrafreak all I can say is WOW.
The detail is great and inventive and your write up as you did it was a help as people see it.
I built a sidecar with a 1952 Monark Super DeLuxe bike and I said the same thing. If I can do it anybody can. I spent 43 years as an antique furniture restorer which did help with the sidecar but other than a lot of antique car restoration I was in the dark as where to start. This was the first welding I did in fifty years.

Here is the photos that I took as I went. http://s866.photobucket. com/albums/ab228/speedy****/ The story part is in the archives of the boardtrack and vintage motorized bicycles thread under "sidecars", started by Mick29. I joined in on page 3, post 27 but it should be read from the begining. Starts as I finished it and goes back to the start.

Waiting for a weather break since wet and electricity really don't go hand in hand. Rain and Steve don't get along either.

Thinking Indian and a wicker sidecar build.

Steve.
