Billy was a great builder that paid the price for his bad judgement.Dale built one helluva museum for American made motorcycles dating back 120 yrs.and they all run! Rip legend!

He still is a great bike builder. Yes, made a bad decision, someone paid the price, he did his time, we’ve all done stupid stuff at one time or another, some more serious than someone else. That doesn’t negate his talent and skills

No doubt... I lived in Maggie Valley NC for 13 years. Just across the road and up Timberline Dr. Rode with Dale and many others on several Charity Ride's. He is truly missed. Matt and the family are doing a great job at carrying on what Dale built. So much history there at the museum. ✌️

The Henderson 4 Cylinder was Made in Detroit by Brothers William and Tom Henderson. This motor ended up in the Indian Line. The Plant was still in Detroit on Jefferson Ave., i used to pass it everyday on my way to Work. It's been knocked down for many years. A friend of mine has a Henderson Four still in the original shipping crate--Lucky Bastard!!! haha
@jaimecunningham10578 жыл бұрын
wow....I'd love to even just see pictures of that motorcycle in the crate...that's amazing! I live in Wixom ,Michigan and ride my HD through Detroit quite a bit so can you explain to me where that used to be off Jefferson Ave? thanks alot ~JC👍✌
@dennymcfastlane85308 жыл бұрын
Hi Jaime, the Henderson my friend has in the crate is the engine/trans. He found it in the early 70's in a Detroit storage warehouse they were working out of. He inquired about it and bought it for 200 dollars---haha. The Henderson factory was at Brush and 268 E.Jefferson, right where the Ren Cen is now. The Corporate office was in Detroit on 1158 Cass, the footprint is still there, it's a parking lot! On Friday July 15 2016 in Wauseon,Ohio there will be Henderson Board Track's running at the 1/2 mile race. It is a LARGE AMCA National Meet. Look up bikedays.com. and get a pit pass ($25.00), i'm #63 in the Speedway Class. This event is UNBELIEVABLE!!! Well worth taking the day off, and its not that far either. Hopefully You can make it. P.s. Dale Walksler will be at Wauseon also, running a vintage HD Board Track! Also, Wauseon Weather looks good for that day--low 80's.

Denny Mcfastlane wow that's some awesome Info and I really appreciate you getting back with me! I'm sure your familiar with Todd from Hunting Harley's dot com well I know he got a last minute ticket and if I could make it I would love to ride down there, I absolutely love any and all motorcycle history especially HD, board trackers or any of the more popular name brands etc....I've always had a big interested in Henderson and how reliable they are I mean when your motorcycle days were done guys would still use the engine to put in small planes o run equipment around the farm/home.... amazing stuff ') anyhow thanks again for the info I appreciate it and good luck on the track I'll definitely be looking for you either through one of Todd's videos or hopefully in person 👍✌~Jaime

It's hard to believe but Billy's bike and maybe the other bikes of the time didn't have any valve covers on the engine. How did they oil the valves like you would on a over head valve engine?
@watrousmark4017 жыл бұрын
PCcopeland It's a total loss oil system, no return passages from the top end. The oil running down the outside of the motor helped to preserve quite a few engines from that era.

I thought Lane lost his driver’s license for life?
@SoCaliSurfer134 жыл бұрын
He lost it for life in either Florida or Virginia so realistically he just needs to buy some property in another state and he can say he “lives there” more than 51% of the year in order to get a license there and not have to give it up when “visiting”. Also he could just be saying fuck it and driving/riding without a license again the same thing that happened when he got drunk and got a DUI and murdered a poor guy. What’s really fucking retarded is that the reason he got his license suspended in the first place is because he got a fucking DUI. So he didn’t learn his lesson the first time and some dude lost his life because Billy is a fucking selfish douchebag.
