http://public.fotki.com/TPCF/off_topic_folders/sooxzie_and_spas/our_babiesbikes/ (Feb 02, 2002) One of our hobbies is collecting and restoring vintage motorcycles. We are members of the Antique Motorcycle Club of America and are very active in our clubs events (Spa is the VP). Not to be confused with the Harley crowd, the vintage motorcycle folks are more interested in the bikes, their technology and their history (not some amorphous cliche' "lifestyle" thing, black t-shirts or poker runs). At this moment we have several projects in the works and always keep our eyes (and ears) open for that "special deal". Spa does beautiful work and I am quite proud of him. http://images.fotki.com/logo3.gif http://public.fotki.com/TPCF/off_topic_folders/sooxzie_and_spas/our_babiesbikes/ http://public.fotki.com/TPCF/off_topic_folders/sooxzie_and_spas/our_babiesbikes/ns.html 1947 Indian Chief

This bike was restored by my husband and won the Peoples Choice award at the National Moto Guzzi meet in WV. Note: a Moto Guzzi is also known as a "goose" (a Ducati is a duck).

We bought this bike over the internet out of New Zealand. It is a military model and we find it quite humorus that it was painted bright yellow (should be olive drab).

The guns are air pistols, but are very good 9 mm replicas. To this day people are asking me if those guns were real...I leave it up to their imagination.
