1944 Indian Motorcycle riding in Iceland

In august 2007 I rode for 3 1/2 weeks with the "chief bluesmoke" Indian in Norway, Iceland and the Faroe Islands. Just a short video from the rough gravel roads of Icelands interior. These old bikes handle much better than people know. The rider sit on a wide seat with springs, so it's rather comfortable also.

Don't you know you're supposed to have a "dual 'sport" for riding like this? I bet you aren't even standing up on the pegs surveying the best line and all that non-sense. GS guys will be horrifed seeing this old war horse chuggin along their favorite path. Did you guys outlaw trees, it's pretty forlorn lookin out there.

Good to see an old beast out on the road, there's just something about the old bikes that have so much more class than modern bikes, I like both types but the older bikes do have class & style! Looks like you had fun time of it?! Cheers.
