I can't believe what some people have the nerve to call "restored."  
I was watching a show on DIY the other day where the were "restoring" an Indian Chief motorcycle.  They painted the frame with the motor still in it using spray cans.  That kills me.  They could have taken about 6 more bolts out, had the motor out, powdercoated the frame and not have spent more than $250.00.  They said "it is not a show bike just a rider"  

I guess some peoples version of restored and mine are way different.

And just how will that Indian look the next time it is Steam
cleaned?
      The work on that 39 shows total disrespect for antiques
      Also to use the term restored should be against e-bay rules,
as it was only painted! Truth in advertising rules.
      To further that point, restorations should be issued a point
value  like 1 to 10.
