1947 Indian Chief

1206cc side-valve V-twin with a three-speed gearbox. ‘I like the history of Indian and the battle they had with Harley, and I like the ergonomics, but the controls are mad. Left foot clutch, left side gearchange and left side throttle – though I’ve got it converted to right side on this one. I’ve always wanted one, and in this colour, but it’s a bit camp.’
