Rebuilding the Indian

As a 51-year-old tree surgeon & ex-professor with an unsuccessful novel under his belt, Fred Haefele was in the mood to do something foolish . . . like rebuild an Indian. These legendary motorcycles, as stylishly beautiful as Harley-Davidsons (some say more so) but ten times rarer, have achieved major cult status: the holy grail, the pile of junk squirreled away in a barn that turns out to be the perfect restoration project. Haefele tells how he winds up in a frantic race against the clock as he dreams of taking his gleaming, rebuilt, restored Indian Chief on a joyous ride to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota, epicenter of all things Indian. A book to be treasured.ÓHaefele, Fred is the author of 'Rebuilding the Indian', published 2006 under ISBN 9781422351154 and ISBN 1422351157.
