    I hope I'm wrong, but I don't seem to sense a lot of interest on your part - please tell me I'm wrong! Those are far more than "Grandpa's got some old motorsickles....."

    I've told him this a few times. Know a few folks that would pay top dollar for any of them running or not. That 31 as it sits (rolling frame) would bring a few $K . The right person would probably hand him more money than he's seen at 1 time.

    I see an episode of American Pickers in your future !!
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

    If your grandpa is up for it you should take him to see the bikes on permanent display at the Forney Museum. Those are true gems he has!!

    I'm pretty sure the yellow one is complete as well. He said something about taking the gas can off to sell, and you can see it in the cart.

    You mean seal? Looks like the top mounting tab area has some issues. If he or another family member can't braze it, a competent radiator repair shop can.

    Oh he can. He rebuilds these things from dust. He probably won't mess with these any more though to be honest.

    Went over there today and told him I put up pictures of all his bikes for my friends and everyone was excited to see them. He said, "All my bikes? That's just a few of them. I got all kinds of bikes." I asked about the motor and transmission for the '31 and he said, "oh yeah, I got everything."

    That was my first thought. He goes nuts over old Indians.
