The end of an Indian, a story with a sad ending..........
.....magazine photoshoot with an "all original" 1940 Indian Chief Motorcycle
Model: Revie Roulette, Winter Haven, Florida
Camera: Sony CD500
~An "all original" 1940 Indian Chief motorcycle that had been driven till about 1959 here in the states, found in a barn in 2001 was recently 100% mechanically restored and made fully driveable
I shot this bike for a nationaly known motorcycle magazine, with the beautiful Rockabilly/PinUp model Revie Roulette the last week of September 2006 here in Florida
On October 1st 2006 this motorcycle was destroyed in a motor accident (the owner was not hurt and the crash was not the owners fault)
a priceless and rare Indian was destroyed, a very sad ending to a fantastic motorcycle~

@ Sari: yes, the news of the accident made me sick, the owner was ok and not hurt, but I doubt that he will be able to save the bike....all these years since 1940 and no problem, until now :(KoolGirlieStuff Photography Tom Eitnier 03/10/2006 12:00
@ Bert: I did shoot this in Colour for a magazine, and I do have blk n wht shots, which look very good, the main theme though about this was because the Indian was a very rare colour "blue" and that`s why Revie`s got the blue lingerie on with the bikeStephan. Diekmann 03/10/2006 10:45
