    Jim Parker Indian in Australia had copies (I purchased one from him and it's a great book).
    Here's his link:
    Parker Indian Motocycles repair and restore all makes and models of the classic Indian Motocycle. We provide full restoration and rebuilds, spare parts and accessories

    If you send him an e-mail, he may be able to assist.
    Hope this is of help, and Merry Christmas,

    Ken

          You will really enjoy this book. While there may be some minor errors, what really amazed me was access to information that we here in the states can't find. Bogart did a great job overall.

              Hello Motorcycle Friends,

              I offered Martin Bogaert to bring some copies of his books to WAUSEON.

              If you are interested please let me know.

              You can check Martin´s website to get a first impression of this very well reseached book on the Military Chiefs:



              Best wishes from Europe,

                      maybe best to contact Martin personally - he has copies left:

                      model340XXXXXlive.be (use @ instead of the XXXXX)

                      you can also give him a call (please note: European time 6h ahead of Eastern US time and 9h from Westcoast time)

                      Tel: 011-32- 11 34 67 83
                      Mob: 011-32- 475 71 16 32

                            You are right its there and its permanent, I have been looking for a project since my kids grew up and revisiting the motorcycles of yesterday is the perfect answer to my desires. The fellows here and the fun at the meets and of cource the absolute pleasure in ridding these old beuties is just fantastic. I put on a few thousand miles to the knuckle this summer, my touring machine hardly got dusted off. I love the people that come up and either want to know what it is or do know and have stories to tell or think they know and also have stories, I love it all! My only wish is that I cold have made it to the Davenport meet, perhaps next year as work still gets in the way.

                              I found 2 copies of this book, it certainly is a "must have" for the 40 chief
