thats worth alot of money to the right person
Put a Windjammer on it!
This was from when men were men and all motorcycle riders were mechanics!
@ToneProjectTV That's a dumb idea. You would lose quite a bit of money by going that route. If someone were ever to sell a bike like this (which they would probably have to be crazy to do,) the best place to do it would be at a vintage motorcycle swap meet or an auction. Better chance of making more money in the end. But like I said, why would anyone want to sell one of these?
@2cvdave I think the information you presented is in regards to the earlier single cylinder bikes. I think at this point (1911) the 500cc singles were producing 4hp, and the twins were producing 7hp. Of course, I could be thinking of another manufacturer. There were planty back then..
happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday INDIAN happy bithday to you!!!

The owner appreciates the interest. At present, he wants to keep it… and share its story with others.

American engineering is a funny thing. its ridiculously simple and un-advanced yet it lasts for lifetimes…… ford for example has been modifying the same V8 design over and over since before the flatheads only to keep it up with modern specifications, i kid u not.
Красавец.
Pardon my ignorance but what was the pedals for ? !
Good question: Pedals used to start the engine. Search YouTube for this video: 30QWew1nw0.

Man things were made to last back then. Wish they did that more now.
I would be hard pressed not to ride it occasionally,
