Meet David Thompson Cannonball Rider & Classic 1914 Indian Twin
Wonder what kind of a person would want to ride a pre-1916 motorcycle across the United States with others as hardcore as him? We will be running short introductions on as many of the Motorcycle Cannonball riders and their machines as possible. Here is the first, meet David Thompson.
David Thompson & what will be his 1914 Indian classic motorcycle
Motorcycle Cannonball Rider #5 David Thompson – 1914 Indian
After hearing that my old brother thinks he can do this adventure is when I decided I must also make the attempt. I am 46years old and I recently aquired a basket full of 1914 Indian parts with a frame. This is of course not complete as I am about to find out but plan on spending the winter aquiring parts and begin transforming. The thought of this experience is one I find I’m thinking about when I wake up in the middle of the night lately. I have not built or even rode anything earlier than the 20′s so I might need to contact others for information and/or parts I’m in need of. I think I will keep the rust original. ~ David Thompson
