[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This Indian motorcycle was just one of the many vehicles displayed at the Selkirk vintage rally, which is held every year in September. The rally started back in 1993 and had about 80 entries and now it has grown to be one of the largest such events in Scotland with this year over 1600 entries.
The bikes owner seems to have had two entries, a 1941 741 and a 1952 Papoose, but I can only remember seeing this one s am not sure which model it is but I think it is the latter myself. All the original parts are there even the suicide shift and that fantastic sprung bucket seat.
Shot in raw desaturated all the colours except red, cloned out other bikes, added border and re-sized before uploading to TL.

All c and c's are welcome.

Hi Jon,
Lovely shot, the colour popping has made the bike jump out at you and great cloning to take out the unwanted hardware. Nice PoV looking down on this old machine and great job on the presentation. TFS

Its hard to imagine riding a long way on this one Jon I must say I prefer my Goldwing for long trips ;-) There seems to be a lot of spring in that seat but i dont know where my better half would sit :-) Nice pp work to retain the red and use a B&W context Good job
warm regards

Hi Jon

Not a great fan of partial desaturated pictures but like this one.
Nice shot of this old motorcycle, maybe would have left a little more space above the bike.
