💭 After putting a few more pieces together, it’s time to try and start Indian Chief. This won’t be a walk in the park, but definitely a learning moment.

    I WANT ONE! I just spent a lovely evening watching you rebuild this motor. I have ridden Harleys over here in Australia, but you never get a fully American machine. The solution to that was Victory Motorcycles, yet they are gone - and very sadly too - because they WERE 100% made in the U.S. Now I look at Indian, I am pretty sure that they are built in the U.S. and crated over. But I would love to rework a wrecker, tho I would probs take the engine down to base metal / lacquer. Thank you Brandon. I'm subbing you now. Cheers mate. Ride free.✌💪
