They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

My dad had this awesome Indian motorcycle while he was in high school. He admits it made him popular with the ladies at Maury High in Dandridge, Tennessee. He does, of course, wish he still had it. I do, too! View full size.

That's a nice Indian and your dad must have been popular with the ladies. It's nice to see a picture close to home since Dandridge isn't too far from where I live now.
Just sayin'
