Rat Bike Project

[facthunter]

Let it Rest in Peace. It's too far gone and the Later Indians were made when the tooling was worn out at the factory, during the War Years. I think 53 was the Last year of REAL Indian Production. The 80  Cubic inch Blackhawk Had quite a few Issues. There were some BADGED English bikes Brockhouse (brave) and Royal Enfield Twins that carried the Name for a short time. The Brand was resurrected about 20 years ago and might have been built by Polaris. Nev

Will, go for it.

It doesn't matter what a project is worth in dollar$.

Just do it.

Thanks Pete, but I don't remember mentioning cost or value. It's something that's never entered my mind and won't. It's the journey not the destination.

A bit off topic but I found this pic of what was left of my old 750 fastback that I bought new in 1972. It went end over end a few times at 100mph+ so that's why it looks like a bashed crab. The gearbox was ok and most of the motor except the crankcases were cracked. The fibreglass tank had stress cracks as well. Bought it back from the insurance company for $80.

You didn't.

I was acknowledging that such projects are like other art forms - it's not done for profit.
