When Indian was brought back, they should have focused on building bikes like the last one in this video. That bike's looks says so much about America at that time.

@flagstamp I think they all say so much about America's innovation and need for speed over the years. Not many cars or roads around yet 101 years ago... but Pierce Arrow slapped a 1-banger on a bicycle and here you go... you're the BOSS! Who needs to feed a horse now?

Burt Munro's Indian was the closest thing to an import motorcycle that you could find on display here. Indian did a lot of things right, and I fully agree with you! The random spectator gawking with me at 14:20 says it all.

they are supposed to be really old!!!!!

where is the aging?

where are all the years, all the miles?

they are extinguished easily, but hard to regain.

beautyful but without any story!!!

That Crocker is pretty bad ass - reminds me of 40's HD Knucklehead. Cool! '34 Harley is beautiful, too. Thanks for posting.

Epic video! thanks for posting. Those pierce bicycle look amazing for 1915!! I can't believe that there were bikes like that around then. And seeing all those older bikes makes me appreciate indians a million times more. The sears bike was cool too. They were all amazing.
