Yup ,
Indian Wally used to have a couple of those IndiGuzzis . He still
remarks about how Guzzi ripped off the design. Of course he leaves
himself open to responses about how Guzzi SUCCEEDED and is still making
them :-)

while browzing an old copy of indian illustrated, i came accross an
article
concerning the 841, a bike that indian had built for the military in
'41. it
could be taken for an OLD guzzi! same engine layout [albiet with
flatheads]
and shaft drive! very tasty. as with the harley/beemer copy, there were
few
produced. the jeep supposidly ended the military's affair with
motorcycles.
