Hey I was going to tell you I spent some time in Iran way back when the Shaw was our buddy. We used to see Indians there from the late 40s into the 50s. I don't know what your regs are like or if it's even safe, but you might ask around at some of the mechanics shops, see if any of the augas know about old American or British motorcycles. I bought one in pieces and had it shipped back, another guy bought one still running, swear to God. It was actually not in terrible bad shape. Might be worth a couple of bucks if you can rescue one from the rag heads.
