1947 Indian motorcycle startup and ride off

Start up and ride away on the mean streets of Washington, DC. Throttle is on the left handle bar, right handle bar is timing advance (twist it and the distributer moves back and forth witch advances the timing), clutch is left foot pedal, rear brake is right foot pedal, and the front brake is the right handle bar level like current motorcycles. This guy bought this bike 25 years ago, before they were cool.

Great great great scott that was beautiful, and zipping through round the car (read shit box electric green vehicle) 1940's Ghostrider, just missing a turbo and wheeling of in the sunset . Love it, I keep all my bikes now got over 30 in the barn, only fools keep changing for new models keep wasting your money. My R1 is fast though love it for that, but I like em all every model, dirt street track whatever. Have a nice day .

Like how he passed that Prius on the right! He probably couldn't stop in time, behind the Prius, because he was checking out those hot chicks!

i bought my first indian in 1967 for $150 AND THEY WERE ALREADY COOL THEN! and i

hope that aggressive riding style (pass on the right and to hell with pedestrians) was for the sake of the camera.
