    Floyd Clymer (Indian Motorcycle Co.) Info

    KKK made a comment about Floyd Clymer in my Christmas Mini Bike Buyers Guide (part 1) thread, so I figured I would reply with a new thread focusing on this topic. Whether or not we realize it, all of us gear-heads have, at some point in our fascination with 2-wheel (and 4-wheel) sports...

    Bonanza CR400 Chopper (I think ?)

    Introduction..finally decided to join in on the fun
