Got my first taste of motorcycling, straddling the tank of my uncle's
Indian, when I was 6-7 years old.

He was an Army motor pool mechanic during the war.  When he got out he
opened his own shop next door to our house.  He had his own stable of
bikes in varying stages of repair, including a bobber.

Whenever I heard it crank up, I'd come a'runnin', he'd swing me up on
the tank and off we'd go.

He'd leave a sign on the door: "Closed.  Gone ridin'.  I'm on the
Indian, so it might be awhile."

Fond memories.
