      Brad,
      I'm like you, 75 years young. Got home in '68 and sold my 1958 Chev convertible (got a lady pregnant). Also had a '48 Indian in line 4 and a '47 Harley. Semper fi my friend..

      100% disabled Army vet. I had a 2002 Chief I ended up selling after I got in the wheelchair. It was an amazing bike that would move like a crotch rocket but felt like a cruiser.
      The 47 however was my favorite looking bike. Saw one at a bike show when I was a kid and it was love at first sight. (57 years old now)

    Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Especially after you've worked on it but old motorcycles and cars like this always have some sort of beauty to them. I love watching your videos because cleaning stuff makes me feel this inner sense of calmness. Feels good to watch your videos and just disconnect from the world for a moment. Amazing as always, thank you for sharing! ✌️

    Looking at the auctions I'd put this at 35k to 45k. The low mileage helps, but the non-original paint hurts. I'd say the best looking bike of all time is a Vincent Black Knight or Black Lightening. Although the Brough are pretty nice too.

    Question: To me that front fender light looks like a Harley light. I thought all Chiefs had the Indian Headdress light? Is that not original? I am a proud owner of a stunning 2019 Indian Springfield, and it evokes so much of the late 49 - 53 Indian Chiefs. Thanks for sharing this rare beauty with us.

I grew up on those bikes because there was a pro wrestler named Undertaker, his character drastically changed in the year 2000 and his character at that particular time was called the "American Badass" where he would come out for his entrance riding all of these motorcycles and I thought that was incredible! So I love Harleys, Choppers and Titans!
