Yep Todd, OB's explanation for the short-lived Harley Boxer-engine motorcycle is correct as far as I know, also.

Another interesting short-lived variation on this military story is this shaft-drive Indian 841 longitudinal V-Twin(similar to the later to come Moto Guzzi V-Twins) which was Indian's alternative design sold to the U.S.Army during WWII.


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
