INDIAN on the operating table!

The venerable INDIAN motorcycle is strapped to its work table to get

some renewed energy. Thank you for your comment-Laurent

What a beast! I've seen one of these "in the flesh"- impressive!

Great to see her getting a facelift and hopefully an internal restoration... Mike

Great machine..great title. Amazing bikes. Im sure the owner cannot wait to get her on the road again. Regards, Lawrence

Greg and Verena,

Yes  ...and that trademark Indian head on the front fender is a real eye-catcher which hooks you and begs you for a look at the rest of the ''beast'' as you say.

Mike,

There's a story here: this Indian Scout is a 2001 model with only 551km(maybe miles?) on it from new.Seems the original owner,a medical doctor (and somewhat absent minded) left it in the hospital parking lot,chained it to a post and forgot it there for 10 years where its painted and chromed body parts suffered and rusted under our rather severe weather conditions.My friend just recently purchased it and in the process of rescueing it,is customizing it to look somewhat like the 1945 Chief model.....Keep looking as I will post more as the work progresses.
