Starship II, It Lives... Twice!

A recent email from Jeff of the Knuckle Buster 1939 blog

Chris, Here is a picture of Frank on the Enterprise taken last year in PA. There are two, one Indian and one Henderson. I believe Frank still has both. Jeff

I figured there was a real motorcycle lurking beneath the scooter like body. Since this one (an Indian), is a bit different than the one in the old photo, I'm guessing it was the Henderson. This internet/blog stuff is amazing. There's just no way we could find so much obscure info so quickly with out it. Thanks Jeff!

The Starship Enterprise

and a Mighty Mini

A new reader of the blog who goes by Mingal sent an email and included some photos.

Chris....feel free to post it... the guy I bought the photo from , said that the owner of the body work had brought it around to the local H-D shop and they displayed it for a week, trying to get some sales for it.

The captain is ready for blast off!

I've seen similar pictures that describe it as an "Enterprise" and I think it was from 1961. Just thought you might get a giggle out it for your blog, which I might ad, is very well done.

Here's another cool photo, taken of me on a 1969 Honda Mini-Trail with a mid 60's 650 Triumph engine in it. Starts on the first kick, makes a lot of noise and grabs a lot of attention.......yeah, it's "only" a single carb. :)

I'm surprised how well the engine fits. In addition to the down tubes and lower frame rails, I'd guess the backbone is also stretched some. -C.K.
