Any one jn to old American motorcycles, Buzzer[/quot

I think this motorcycle is an INDIAN, because of the logo on the number plate.
I remember seeing the occasional INDIAN motorbike in the 1950s and 1960s.

Ray.

I tend to agree, an Indian was very nearly my first, and only, motorbike and I recognise that long lever for changing gears by hand. I saw it at a 2nd hand dealer’s probably in 1960 and said I would go home and get the money. When I got back it had been sold, so I bought a 250 C12 Beezer instead. And a very good bike it was too although it broke down once outside the Basford, Nottingham works of the famous Brough Superior marque. They were no longer producing bikes, but instead still doing some very good engineering and, when I wheeled it in for advice, had it fixed in no time at all. No charge.
