I saw it at Davenport, Starklite or Kiwi or one of the other big boys was selling it for $50. If you need to spend $500 on it, just send the extra $450 to me.

Learned recently that Jerry Hatfield had requested a new printing of this book be done, and apparently if this hasn't taken place within 6 months then the rights to print revert back to him. Plans are that if (when) that printing doesn't occur and he's got the rights back, then he'll have the book printed with 30 or so pages of updates. Hold out for that copy if you can as it will correct some discrepancies that are printed in the original book. :)

Interesting that last week's update to my original review wasn't published by Amazon. Probably because I mention that the recently updated version of this title isn't available through them- but it is currently available through Starklite. Anyone in the Indian game knows who Bob Starklite is, so just meander on over to his site and order a copy.

I have been into Indian motorcycles since I was a kid. One of the lucky ones-my dad held on to his. I have run into so many people like the person selling this book @$450. Whatever happened to trying to keep the spirit alive? These old bikes are becoming fewer and fewer. We should work together to preserve the declining number. I would like to know who this person is and black list them from all Antique motorcycle clubs and events!

I have watched these books go up since a year or so ago.
I debated at $150 for this book last year. Looking back i guess I should have invested and tried to gouge someone else like the seller here is ($450)
I am currently seeking this book as a reference for my restoration. If I get one I will sell it (with no gouging) to another person who is ready to put the book to use!

Thanks for reading my rant
