Scooter made by Indian... this one is in the Barber Motorsports Museum

the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum has 1300 motorcycles, 80 cars, 48 which are Lotus. 


I got lucky and somehow attracted the readership of the lead car restorer there, and when I posted an image of a Indian scooter a couple months ago, it stuck with him, and since he has one in his museum, he was cool and sent me a photo to share with all of you. Thanks John!


here's the image from Feb 23rd

the wide variety of cool car stuff I found on The Kevin Chen . wordpress.com

 the above is incredible timing by the photographer. Astonishing.

 Wow. Has training wheels, cause it weighs so much you ain't gonna be able to pick it up when it falls over

 all righty. This is the most overkill of the flying tigers motif, but I like it, it works.

 Dead on. Nailed it.

 If you wonder why the above is interesting, look at a Veyron

 1962 Indianapolis car of Lesovsky

 Photoshopped, but bitchin

 cause yes, smoking is deadly, but still looks cool

 The reason the engine is displayed, is the photo on the wall behind it, of the racing boat

 this looks like fun actually

 yeah, the bike takes a second to work out... but it's revolutionary.

 Soooo happy days

 Grrrr

 Solex motor scooter coverted to hubless rims... now that is a lot of time on an inventors hands.

 Not photoshopped.... but unreal. I don't have answers, just freaky photos

 Oklahoma state troopers seized this Busa, then said screw it, we need to see how long it takes for a cop to kill himself on it. Seriously you morons, it's a 200 mph suicide machine... you have radios, lots of cops for back up, and probably even telephones, and helicopters. You don't need to chase the bad guys at 200mph. Or even at 100mph. Use your brains while their inside the helmet, not splattered on the back of a semi trailer

 Yup, if the town has a name, that name in front of the word "Police" is going to sound funny to everyone who doesn't live there

 Ride the goat.

 Steve McQueen's Siata interior, and Tag Heuers

ummm, rubbbing is racing even when it's not at a Nascar event?

All from the very enormous diversity and eminently enjoyable http://thekevinchen.wordpress.com/
