Super cool project has been keeping me away...
« on: November 15, 2011, 10:29:02 AM »
Thought you guys might like to see what's been keeping me away for the past couple of months. It's a 1940 ex-Canadian Army Indian Model 640. A friend rebuilt the engine, transmission and carb in August and since then, almost every weekend, day off and evening has seen me in the basement working on this old bike.

 Looks great Denis!

Glad to know it a motorcycle that kept you away -  as opposed to my bad breath  ;)

How did you get it?
