I dunno, but with all this talk about it, now I want to see it, too. FACTOID: Glenn Curtis became the world's fastest man on a motorcycle he built. FACTOID: Eddie Rickenbacker is the only man to both race on and then own the Indianapolis Speedway. Motorcycles, Fast Cars, and Aviation. Must have SOMETHING in common.

My wife and I have been saying "Maybe someday if I ever have some free time that I'm not using to work on the Ercoupe or reading Ercoupe manuals or reading Ercoupe forums, or looking on eBay for Ercoupe parts, maybe we could go out and see that movie, "The World's Fastest Indian." The problem is that it seems to be showing in very limited locations. Where are you guys seeing this? The only reason that I mention Indians here is that I had a 1946 Indian Chief which I traded for a 1951 Harley Davidson which I sold to buy parts for my 1946 Ercoupe. See, there' s a direct connection between Indians and Ercoupes, at least for me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ght" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 03, 2006 12:32 PM Subject: [COUPERS-FLYIN] OFF TOPIC: For anyone who loves motorcycles and agood story > ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any > advice in this forum.]---- > > > Howdy, > > Yesterday, I was fortunate to see the film, "The > World's Fastest Indian". > > If you have a fondness for Indian motorcycles, racing, > and Bonneville, I think you will like this movie.
