Thank you Weeksy for going to the effort of sharing these interesting bikes on a regular basis.

I fail to appreciate a single thing about this one

Edit: Maybe the chain.

Would do me, just needs a front mudguard for this wet country

As an ornament it's pretty, I like it. And I'd probably ride it. But these very expensive ditchpump engines are just for to the enthusiasts.

He's done a nice job on that.

We could do with an acronym for 'like, wouldn't want to own'. LWWTO? (Like, no thanks would be simpler LNT).
Next stage is 'Like wouldn't touch with a bargepole' LWTWAB?

This is in the first category. LNT.

I like that, though the Kay’s catalogue last photo ruins it a bit.

I like that

I'd love this one in the garage.. preferably not leaking oil all over it... but it's lovely. I don't know when i'd use it, but yup, i'm all over it.

If Chairman Mao took up hipster modelling....

Then it would have to drained of all fluids. Every Indian I've seen has been leaking more oil than the Exxon Valdez and Torrey Canyon put together.

If your old bike don't leak oil, you ain't got an old bike.

It was okay - until the Hoxton Hipster sat on it - then I understood the context.

Corrected for you, none of my 30 - 40 year old Japanese bikes leak oil, and fuck knows how many times the YPVS and Kawasaki have been apart, none of the threads feel tight, though both the FZ750 and Kawasaki have got slightly larger oil drain plugs that they left the factory with.

Got to the only one I've seen where the brown seat looks about right.

Clean headers?

Yeah. Nice. Interesting. Well executed. Pretty (in an old-fashioned kinda way).

Would I want to own it? Not a fucking chance, mate.

Leaf springs on the front and seat springs on the rear.....thats going to be an interesting ride

Assuming it actually goes anywhere apart from magazine shoots but i admire the work and like the overall look of it

Having seen the amazingly high money some of the Yank "pickers" pay for rusted boat anchors at the back of a barn with a faint hint of the Indian name visible this thing must be worth a fortune
