To each their own. I am not a expert on indians but if its as original as it looks is worth a lot of baht.

[DiNiro]

What could be more fun than taking this out for a spin?

Nice.

When I was a kid growing up in the 50s the local shop had a 4 square Ariel, I was only about 9 or 10 but I will never forget that bike.

Sadly yes it is, but it is a historic or classic piece of crap which makes it note worthy. It's a 50's rat bike

[yankee99]

If i had the money i would love to own it (its like owning a part of history)I would restore her and put it in my livingroom.

maybe its a american thing?

Putting vintage crap in our living rooms? I would say 'yes'.

My wife doesn't understand why I want to turn a couple old helmets into table lamps- when I build the next house, I'm gonna have the ultimate 'man cave' filled with old motorcycle stuff.

one word .... beautiful

No, its a classic bike thing! If I found it I would be looking for the owner with a cheque in my hand! Even though it doesn't have a tax disk or number plate.

And I'd like one of these as well.

And because there are only about 5 in existance, one of these.

[joeaverage]

was it for sale?

[yankee99]

was it for sale?

I am po folk. Knowing it was out of my price range i didnt ask. I assume evrything is for sale at the right price. The market is friday nights in chonburi. It may be there every friday for all i know.

[spiritrace]

What a beauty. My first bike was an Indian Chief. I have regretted selling it. That was back in 1962. I have had a lot of bikes since but the old Indian was my favorite and still is.

[brfsa2]

I would love to see that Indian Chief relic.

where was those photos taken?

I would like to see that bike. I know I would have asked who the owner was and tried to buy it. I may have to make a run over there and see if it is around in July when I get back. Thanks for posting the photos.

[yankee99]

For anyone interested here are the coordinates for the market 13°20'23.57"N & 100°56'58.19"E the market is friday evenings. I do not know if the bike is owned by a vendor but since it was inside the selling area i assume it is. I dont know if its there every friday or will be there again.

Some don't know class when it's staring them in the face.

The market is on every Friday and I was there 3 months ago and didn't see that bike. Maybe it is for sale.

What are you talking about?

[Ozybear]

Very curious regarding the price. Can anyone help in the near future and post on here please. Have cheque ready.

[BradinAsia]

One man's crap is another man's gold.

This machine is easily worth $5,000 in the U.S., and $10,000 in Thailand.

Once restored to showroom condition it would easily be worth $30,000 in the U.S. and at least

double that (maybe 2 million baht) in Thailand.

If this bike could be bought here for 200,000 - 300,000 baht it would be a lucrative investment.

Call it crap if you like, even ignorantly, but someone could make a ton of money on this. Or just

the enjoyment of restoring it, showing it at motorcycle shows and keeping as an investment.
