HARLEY-DAVIDSON WLA-42 (1945) FIRST START after being storaged 

I used to go to the old Indian Moto-cycle plant. There was only half of it left. (it’s apartments now) In the old engineering building there was a museum. It was the Esta Manthos Indian Motocycle collection. They had a NOS motor with tags on it sitting on the floor. It had a tag that said there were 1000 of these motors made in WWII (I forget the year it said. Maybe 1943?) 999 of them were shipped to Russia during the lend lease program this is the last one left. The collection is still in Springfield but it’s in another building now)

Thanks for the kind words!
