Hugo Oswald's 1932 Indian Chief

.





Hi Frank

I am writing in German, because my English is not so good.
My name is Hugo Oswald am 47 and have 3 women at home (my wife and two daughters, 3 & 6).

My Indian: Indian Chief 1932 / 1200cc / 40PS / Matching-number

I bought it 3 years ago from an old gentleman who had this Chief for 20 years in his apartment under all sorts of junk. The Indian looked good at first glance. Later, however, very much as damage came to light ...
I underestimated the whole restoration and luckily I had my good friend Alain who has helped me a lot on this restoration. Thank you Alain and all others who helped me! Otherwise the machine would not run today.
For a year now, i ride the Indian almost every day and even though this bike was build for long, straight roads in America, the Indian runs fine in the Swiss mountains! INDIAN, what a wunderful Motorcycle!

Best regards from Switzerland Hugo
