Don climbs aboard a beautifully restored 1915 Indian V-Twin 1000cc American motorcycle. One of the most successful motorcycles ever made and has a sporting pedigree. It was produced in large numbers, selling 35,000 in 1913. Some of its features include: electric lights, tool box, town & country exhaust, effective suspension and an idiosyncrasy, a left-hand throttle. Some say the left-hand throttle was to enable the rider to draw his gun with his right hand and continue controlling the bike with his left. A truly magnificent machine.

Oh how lovely to listen to proper English about an American motorcycle. On top of that, also no irritating music to block out the narration and no over dramatising of the information. Thank you so much.

Awesome bike. From the days that Indian was a forward looking company with a bend towards innovation. Indian was the king of American motorcycles until 1936 when Harley-Davidson started production of the overhead valve V-twin knucklehead. After that it was all downhill for Indian. To be fair Indian did try to innovate after WWII, but the machines didn't run well. Now those bikes are looked fondly on in a "ahead of their time" kind of way, but at the time they did more to hurt the company. I can understand why women would admire the bike. Indians were always made with a sense of style all the way to the end.

Common compression ratios in this day were around 4:1. Kettering at GM came up with tetraethyl lead additives that allowed for "high compression" engines, maybe 7:1, around 1921. Unfortunately TEL is highly poisonous and was later removed from gasoline. But it did provide for huge performance increases that we all know and love. Unpaved roads were quite common in 1915. They didn't call them "adventure bikes".

@pashakdescilly7517 3 жыл бұрын

@@shanehnorman Burt cast his own heads and barrels. He also made cranks, rods, and pretty much everything else... by 1960 there was little left of the 1920 engine but the crank-cases. I haven't checked the numbers, but I understand that the Indian streamliner in Invercargill New Zealand (E Hayes department store) has the original frame (rather heavily modified), the original crank-cases, and the original gearbox cases. Just not much else from the bike he bought new in 1920. BTW Burt's record still stands - as a mark of respect for Burt, they retired the category he held the record for. It's not that his record could not be beaten, the record-breaking community just isn't going to do so.

@pashakdescilly7517 3 жыл бұрын

@@shanehnorman Burt got the side-valve 600cc bike to do 90mph by 1938. Then he made an ohv conversion, making the casting patterns himself. It took a while to do 90 on the ohv-converted bike. Around 1950 the flywheels gave trouble, and he made his first new crankset and rods. It was later that he expanded the capacity of the engine, reaching that 950cc level in the mid '60s. Burt's achievements are all the more remarkable for the minimal equipment he had.
