This is a bike that was built by Paul Brodie and is a running replica of a 1919 Excelsior Board Track Racing Motorcycle. The originals ran speeds over 120 mph, and this replica will do at least that. Peter Gagan, the president of the Antique Motorcycle Club of America acted as a consultant on the project and is seen introducing it a party thrown at Paul's house on July 8th, 2007.

    I'll let my Dad know you approve! He lives for this stuff...

  • Anyone interested should check out Pete's Garage on MySpace. Even Jay Leno is a fan!!

    Is it really that loud? :)

  • A real tip of the hat to someone who has made the financial committment to build it as well as the builder himself and all involved. It should be in the Smithsonian

  • Everybody knows its not original but it IS a credit to history to have a reproduction made to original specs for future generations, as long as it is not presented as an 88 yr old original. Old junk get a grip.
