Indian 741 description

For sale my 1942 Indian 741 (Civilian Scout) project.  This was to the bike of my dreams.  But a crippling injury and the rest of life has ended that dream.

I have everything for this.  You can see in one picture all the rest of the parts. Wiring harness, cables, lines, switches, boards, horn, decals, center stand clip, etc. What you can't see is the new brake shoes and turned hubs (installed) and exhaust (forgot to take pic).

The engine and trans were rebuilt and bored to 650cc by Randy Walker of Walker Machine (if you know Indians you know Randy) and is fresh and ready to finish and run.  The tool box, tanks and fenders are from Iron Horse Corral in the 38-39 style. It is converted to 12V.  New Zenith Carburetor.

The frame, hubs, crash bar, and other black parts were powder coated black here.  Many other parts were chromed when the bike was overseas.  It was sent to the UK Commonwealth forces in India before it went to Germany where I bought it.

It is ready for you to finish and paint in the manner of your choice.

To clear up some info, the Carburetor is a new 38mm Zenith Bendix.

And no, he's not Jesse Mach; this GoPro footage is sped up 8x.

All 50 States Ranked For Highest Motorcycle Ownership Per Capita

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

In a recent study done ranking each of the 50 states (and the District of Columbia) by motorcycle ownership per capita, South Dakota ranked the best. There are a total of 69,284 motorcycles registered in the state, according to the Department of Transportation, and with a total population of 816,598, when you do the math, there’s roughly 12 people in South Dakota for every motorcycle. Considering South Dakota is the home of the Sturgis rally, its ranking on this list may not be much of a surprise.

This 1970 Husqvarna 400 Cross owned and ridden by Steve McQueen will be up for auction on January 10th, at Bally’s Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, by Bonhams. The motorcycle comes with an exhaustive quantity of documents supporting its provenance and authenticity.
