A true story...the fastest Indian...old geezer from New Zealand rebuilds an Indian motorcycle and hitches a ride on a freighter to long Island port...gets a record on the salt flats in Nevada.
Good movie- The World’s Fastest Indian.
My father borrowed one of his high school classmate’s 4 cylinder in line Indian to get home on leave.
It was cold and he did not have a heavy coat. The friend who owned the Indian, loaned him his officer’s heavy jacket.
The CO gave him the leave. Another officer tried to counter it. CO found out and told dad to go home.
So he was out of uniform and the MP’s saw he was out of uniform and followed. Not for long. Dad just throttled it and poof they were gone.
