Son-in-law and I rode south last month to get onto summer weather and visit Wheels Through Time museum (and Barbers).
This Indian was part of the Wheels collection. Interesting museum. Most things ran and were started on request. Makes for a noisy, smelly and interesting experience. The place was staffed by a group of people who knew their stuff, were happy to chat and liked mixing with patrons.
Barbers was really impressive with tons of clean & shiny bikes (and some cars) to look at. But it was absolutely devoid of docents to explain the visits or answer questions. (Unless you wanted to rent one for $16 extra for a group tour). OTOH The Barbers race track was part of the experience. You could wander over the racetrack to several excellent viewing points. Day we were there was a "track day". Got to see everything from baggers to full blown race machines (in appropriate groups)tear up the asphalt.
All in all a wonderful two weeks of camping, riding and visiting museums. (Guzzi content; I rode the V11 2,700 miles and outside of the fuel pump, voltage regulator and oil pressure sender it worked fine. It did bring me all the way home before I had to replace those items. Courteous Motorcycle!)

Thanks for the report. Next time, take your T3!

Thought that just as the fuel pump stopped for the second time. But the T3 cylinders and pistons were off waiting for new rings and heads were at Randy Long's for valves, guides and 2 new seats. So it was just yard art.
But I did get 100,000 miles out of the valves and rings. Good T3!

Good Gravy. A transverse V2, shaft-drive Indian. What a surprise! :grin: and thank you for the pic :thumb:

Not transverse.
Longitudinal.

Cool to have that engine in the front of a Morgan ?
