Made a sweet deal on this little number, a one-owner early Ace with just under 900 miles - complete with tire pump!

And just down the road from the Hodaka…

I know zero about Indians - preliminary looking says it’s a ’68 or ‘69 - either a Boy Racer or Super Scrambler (?) The Minarelli has spark and compression…going to have to learn some Italian I guess.

Roberto, la mia strada è lunga, e il tempo per denaro Minarelli.
How's that? :D
MTRob, I don't have the numbers in front of me, but when I checked, the Ace frame and engine matched (in that Hodaka way) and dated to early '65.

Clarence - good to talk to you today - thanks for the heads up on Indian stuff. Winter is coming up there - stay warm!
MTRob - I sure appreciate the offer. As my husband calls it, my "Hodaka Parts Empire" should suffice for spares...but thanks so much for the offer!
Y'all have a great week,
