Indian All description

For Sale is my 1950 Indian Chief Blackhawk 80 cubic inch motorcycle.  I bought this bike from the 2nd owner and he had many wonderful stories to tell about the old Indian.  He acquired it in the 60's and rode it for a few years only to take it apart and leave in boxes for 40 years.  It was put back together around 2008 and he still had all the original parts.  I have the original steps for it, I have the original Indian saddle bags.  There is also a box full of original and spare parts.  The motor has been rebuilt.  I have the original pistons that came out of the motor.  The fenders and tank have been repainted the original Indian red.  This bike has spent the last 6-7 years just going to motorcycle shows in the Midwest region.  I have not tried to start the bike for awhile.  I drained the gas out of it so it wouldn't get gummed up.

 I'm currently judging interest in the bike and if the right price/offer is made, I will probably sell it. If you need any other pictures let me know.   

Ultimately, I am looking for the "right" person to buy the Indian so that I can carry on what the older gentleman who sold it to me wished for.  He owned it for over 50 years, and that's rare these days. 785-633-9336

Piaggio Slashes Vespa LX125 Prices in India to Bolster Slow Sales

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

Piaggio launched its Vespa scooter brand at last January’s Indian Auto Expo to much fanfare but sales have fallen short of expectations. The Vespa LX125 launched in Indian showrooms in April as the first new Vespa scooter offered in the country in 13 years, but Piaggio has only sold about 25,000 units. That might seem like a lot, and would be, for the U.S.
