i wouldn't burn your thread here quite yet Jim......There are some issues & the major one is looking at in person... i would like to see up close in person.... the paint, patina, wiring, neon, etc. etc......If i spend that much money i like to feel what i'm getting......as I said, take it out of the 400 lb crate bring it to Iowa & if "I" can validate it, i would buy it & you could keep the crate......... i have talked to a couple of guys & they say the word "MOTOCYCLE" was not used in the 1940's, it was MOTORCYCLE, however i don't know this to be true & could use some input here........if however it's true, 1946-1954 is the wrong time period......
