  • This is the same Papoose that Sean from Bikes and Beards didn't make it home on. Maybe there's good reason for that, but I'm going to try it anyway.

    After watching Shawn and Craig over the Months,I always figured that Craig was the brains behind this well oiled operation........after further analysis I have determined that it's really Dan!

    My daddy bought me one of these in about 1968 when I was 10. Here in the UK it was known as the Corgi and I only found out about the Indian connection many years later when restoring one as a nostalgia project. Mine was a 1948 MK1 with no kick start and only bump start option and came in two wooden tea chests and cost 30/- (that is thirty shillings in 'old money' or £1.50 about $2US). We (he) rebuilt it in an afternoon and I was happily riding it down the road in the evening in a cloud of 2-stroke smoke. I felt like the king of the road.

    My dad was given a 1949 Brockhouse Corgi in 1972, when I was 10. It was the first motorcycle I rode. Mine had the optional 2-speed gearbox. I rebuilt the engine in 1976 at the motorcycle club at high school. The bike has been owned by a friend of my dad's since the late 1970s and is still running on my engine rebuild. The bike was always hell to start, before and after the rebuild. Great to see the journey completed.
    BTW: "Welwyn" is pronounced "Wellin", as in "Welwyn Garden City" (to give it its full name).
