"It may not be the World’s Fastest Indian, but it might be the World’s Most Loved Indian. Sometime back in the late 1960’s or early 1970’s (I don’t think anyone remembers exactly when) my Uncle Leroy got a call from an old friend who told him; “If you want this thing come get it out of my way.” The thing he was referencing was a 1940 Indian that was being stored in pieces in his barn. When I say in pieces, that’s exactly what I mean."

"Since opening his doors in 2000, Nick Genender at NYC Choppers has made a specialty out of just this kind of bike, and with lots of NYC Choppers parts already in the FatBook that Manhattan shop was a natural. Nick didn't have to be asked twice. Given the opportunity he ran with it, big time."
