Indian Chief description

fully restored 1947 Indian Chief Motorcycle. If you are in the market for one, I doubt you will find 1 in nicer condition. I am listing this motorcycle for my neighbor Harold, since he doesn't use ebay. All of the photos were taken today, 08/29/2013 and show the bike in its current condition. He has fully restored 3 Indian motorcycles, and knows these bikes inside and out. He just sold the red 1946 Indian Chief that was listed for sale on ebay, this 1 is restored to the same high-level. Only reason for selling is that he is getting too old to ride. If you have any more specific questions and are serious about purchasing the motorcycle, please message me, and I will give you his contact details.

Tue, 21 Jan 2020

All the baggers, by the numbers This all started with our recent Bagger Battle between the two juggernauts in the field: The Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special and the Indian Challenger Limited. In just nine days, that story garnered enough views on MO to make it our ninth-most read story of 2019 – and it was posted on December 23rd! All that traffic got us thinking about how these two American giants stack up to the rest of the bagger field, although long-time MO readers might remember we’ve already done something similar – the Big Dam Tour shootout of 2018.
