1973 Indian MM5A 50cc Mini Mini
Restoration
Owner: Dana B. of Virginia
COMMENTS: This was a complete restoration of a bike owned by the customer & her brothers since they were little children. It sat in an attic for many years and at some point, work had begun on the bike and the rear wheel was lost. The customer's brother purchased a 2nd bike so parts could be pulled from it for this bike. The restoration took over 24 hours of labor + parts. The owner's daughter enjoys riding the bike as much as her Mom & Uncle use to!
