been kinda watching the scooter talk... I started life as a floor sweeper
at an Indian restoration shop..(Ken Young and son's)
You know I really don't want the Harley either... I want something weird...
Okay really weird... now I know your not surprised by that!!!
It's kinda like the Healey thing... only it's a different Healey... there
was a couple of brothers that bought the rights to the Ariel square four..
and they happened to be named Healey... no relation I understand.. but I
always thought it would be cool to own a Healey 1000/4... which is what
their bike was called.... a little different like your knuckle or the 70
even... built in the 70's in limited Production and semi Cafe racer sorta
thing.... very unusual square four cylinder engine with a pretty set of
Pipes.. it was built in Reditch England.. which means all my Lucas
knowledge applies...
Just always thought that would be cool sitting next to the Healey 100/4
