Basket Case

I recently read Rebuilding the Indian about a fella that took a 1953 Indian motorcycle from a basket case (literally a basket of motorcycle parts) to a working bike. It made me think about trading in my big green Chevy for something smaller, like a basket case of my own. It'd be nicer to work on it in the rain - in the garage - too. I think I'm over estimating my mechanical savy though. There's a motorcycle collector's show in a few weeks, maybe I'll poke around there and see what basket might call my name.
