Our local REOC chap has a couple of calls a month asking if anyone wants a genuine early bike.
I had a look on my phone and found a couple of pics of mine. It is alleged to be a one owner from new 350 Indian. It's been dated as a 1979, by the REOC.
It blew the head garket late last year and following the advice of the Bullet Whisperer and others here in the UK I've modded it slightly. I have had the cylinder skimmed of 2.5mm and lapped in the head so I can dispence with the head garket.
I'm trying to make it more efficient, rather than trying to turn her into some rocket to compete with a Japanses sports bike.
She was VERY cheap and produces stupid grins every time I see her, never mind riding her!
