Welcome to the forums,
I can totally see it happen. Is this a 400 CC version by any chance?
Greetings from the Netherlands. Alfred

Thanks all for the welcome, picked it up yesterday and rode it home , 231ks, it done more mileage than it had done in a few years, stopped for petrol , and when I was walking back to the bike I heard  2 guys talking one of the said" look over there a old Indian, some one has good taste,
Only wish I had bought it years ago when I had the chance  now to start work on it give it a good service, clean up the frame, and have bought chrome flasher  covers before I picked up the bike, The long buying slope has started  ::) even though I told the wife that it needs nothing doing,
her reply was it will want stuff. ::)
