If a '62 Pan is what you want then that is what you should get. Check craigslist and start asking locals if they know where one might be located. When I started looking for vintage Harleys a lot of my friends said they were all gone. Well, I have found the following bikes since I started my search....1914 HD twin(told a HD expert about this bike, he bought it and helped me with my JD), 1926 JD(bought), 1931 V(bought),1958 Pan and a 1919 Indian Power Plus engine. These were all at the same farm. Last October I bought a 1920 L20T with two extra motors. In 1998 I heard about a 1935 VD. I found out where it was located but did not stop until 2005. If the guy decides to sell it, he said he would sell it to me.

This week I am going to look at a truck load of Knuckle/Pan era goodies. I am hoping there is a good Knuckle motor, frame and tranny. If there is at least a motor I will be building a Knuckle bobber.

I also know where there is a 1912? Indian single with belt drive that I need to stop and see if it is for sale. All of these machines were found within 30 miles of my house. Some people hunt wildlife, some people hunt a little white ball they hit around, I hunt vintage Harley's and the ever elusive 1969 SC/Rambler. Be diligent,have patience and enjoy the hunt.
