HIStory (not the Michael Jackson album)

Here is a photo that I recently received of my Great Great Grandfather with his Indian motorcycle in 1917. I’m still researching to try and figure out what model and year it is, but it is obviously a single-cylinder model. It’s cool that 86 years before I bought my motorcycle, one of my ancestors was riding his.

    Yeah, I went there and found a bike that looks almost the same, but there was no description of it.

    I can be of no assistance on the history of the bike… But I do like your photoshop work.
