 Hello,
my name is Patrick Desgens. I live near Montreal, Quebec.
Here's my 39 sport scout restored. The
basket case was bought from a friend a couple years back. Everything
was mostly there, but the engine was a 30.50, the front fender was
chopped...well, it needed a bit of work. It's been quite an
adventure finding parts & fitting everything
nicely. The restoration work was done in my new shop. Even though
it's not a 100 points bike, I'm very proud of my sport scout. I
often ride it on weekends around town, park on main street & chat
with people walking by asking : "what year is it ? "... This bike
is actually a great way to meet friendly people & also a good
business card ! Many people tell me stories of their younger years,
when they rode Indians during the war, or their father owned one &
later sold it for 50$ ! I really appreciate what this motorcycle has
brought me ; smiles, new friendships, everybody is nice to you when
you ride an Indian ! I'd like to thank David Kilgore for giving me
the chance to learn from him. He is of great help to me....
Thanks Dave !
