George, every family has a few legends and the Indian Motorcycle plays a big part in one of ours. My family owned a small Chevy dealership in Indiana back in the '50's and once they took a giant old Indian MC in on trade on a used car. Well my Uncle, then about 25 years old and a bit cocky, decided he would show everyone how well he could ride that cycle. He fired it up in the service shop and let out the clutch and either the clutch stuck or the throttle stuck.

Within the hour, my grandfather loaded the Indian Motorcycle on the back of a truck and left town, no one knows where he went, but the motorcyle was gone when he got home.
I was a little kid when it happened but it was big news in town and my Mom took me down there to see the damage. That story gets retold every year at the family picnic.
