I'm assuming that the one on indianmotorbikes.com is yours.
How many "Syke's" can there be?
Yeah, it's a honey, and it was free. No, I'm not kidding, it belonged to my father-in-law who's 87 and can't ride it anymore. Not that I'm doing any better, I think I've put 20 miles on it in the last three years. Try riding a motorcycle where NOTHING is where you'd expect it to be, except for the wheels, handlebar and engine. Toss in a total loss oil system with a hand pump . . . . .

And you wonder why I love vintage bicycles so much? At least a 1930 Rudge rides in the same manner as my '03 Fuji, much less my vintage stuff.
