To hear that thing fire up.,.just blows me away.thank you for sharing this,

You can only imagine the roar 15 or 20 of these on the track made, beautiful mechanical symphony. Thanks Dale and son for keeping them alive!

My grandfather, David Andrade, raced a Arial at a board track near Chicago.

I think my heart fucking stopped when you fired those beautiful machines up. Thank-you

Amazing machines, I got goose. Bumps listening to those engines, I love the old bikes☺

I can only like this video once. Someone please like it it again, for me.

Dale, I just want to say I love what you do and the amount of work, money and time you put into preserving these vintage American classics for all of us to enjoy, especially passing that knowledge onto our younger generations! I always loved old racing machines and something about these old board track racers just piques my interest and I love learning about their history! I've been wanting to visit your museum for quite some time but haven't been able to yet! Love those great old Indian Racers!

My mouth actually dropped open when he started the last bike up 😍

Neat Video; I thought he might mention the 1913 Boardtracker that was an 8 valve 1000cc V-Twin. People think that 4 valves per cylinder was something from the Modern era but Both Racing Motorcycles and Auto Engines used this feature going back to the early part of the 20th century. I was always puzzled when I look at any of the Boardtrack Racers; not just H-D and Indian , but they all used extremely short header pipes where the flames shot out. When I raced in the 60's most of your Racing bikes had a header pipe at least 30" longer or longer and a megaphone that could be any length from 15" onward. I wish sound had been invented in the Motion Picture Industry before 1927 so you could have heard a horde of these 1 liter V-Twins going around the Boardtracks of the days. These Racers were Daredevils and only a small number came out from either career ending injuries or being killed. Very short career Span for the BT's they all but disappeared in the late 20's. One DT - BT Race Legend that basically ended a career in one piece was JIM Davis who lived to be just shy of 104 yrs old. He is honored with a Plaque at Daytona Speedway wall of Race Heroes ...

The exhaust on that twin is absolutely incredible :)))

Seen this video several times before and never tire of that exhaust on that 14

The guy’s who road these things had to order a second Man Card, because they punched all the holes out of the first one!

Well done video and I love you choice of introduction music. Real Americana... God-bless America!

What a fire breathing beast that thing is! Hard to even call that an exhaust. Basically an exhaust valve outlet.

This bike is awsome! Please keep those Time Machine clips comming!

Wonderful video. Makes me wish someone would invent a time machine. People had to be a lot tougher back then.

Truly,Truly awsome Dale!!! I love the patina on the '11. Thanks for sharing these great bikes!

My great great uncle was a Factory Indan racer. And I believe he raced one like this bike. His name was Bill lane.

I cant wait to go to your place sometime and look all those bikes. What an amazing collection you have. I wish that show you had was still on, unless it is and i just dont know about it.

FIRE! YEAH! I've been in love with Indian motorcycles ever since I saw a couple in a motorcycle museum in my town about ten years ago... This video made my day :)

Awesome video.

Thank you so much for sharing! It’s so impressive and beautiful motorcycle

As far as I know the Indian museum has been closed for a while. But, the Springfield museum has opened a new wing showcasing Springfield's industrial contribution to history. Included is Springfield built Rolls Royces and some of the Indians from the old bike collection. I went to college at the site of the Springfield armory, just down the road from the closed bike museum and up the road from the new.

wow thats an amazing collection!

It’s a thing of beauty......

Great Vid!! There is a really cool Indian museum in Springfield, MA too. I grew up there and went to Baer's Cycle Sales buying parts for my RM125 as a kid. The Baer family was huge in racing the old Indians back in the day. Perhaps they know something about that 1914 custom bike.

Excellent video cheers

"Coolest Dang Thing" was Mr. Dale.

Love

Wow there is no way I would ride a bike like that with flames shooting out the side - lol... Those riders back in the early year's of this sport were hellions

VERY NICE vídeo GOOD JOB MY FRIEND

I'm gonna like this vid just cause he said ''these guys have more fun then a barrel of monkeys''

Am beginnt ist die Musik wundebar !!..

Cool , Your the Best Dale !!!

I road on the back of his motorcycle when I was 9

You disrespect the dead sir.

hola muy bueno el video yo tengo un indian 741 500 military y necesito informacion gracias

What about the left handle bar?

Interesting vid. Can anyone explain why the German national anthem at the beginning? It's wether a Merkel nor a BMW Boardtracker

3:01 haha pure acting :-)

man those guys that rode them back in the 30's must've had a fire engine on site just in case those riders caught on fire on those bikes

Enichkeit und Recht und Freiheit

Geezus fucking Christ - forgive my blasphemy O Lord but those words are necessary to describe the work of the monstrous Devil that is this bike. I'm 28, I love speed and trackdays and my next bike is an Aprilia RSV4. Demographically I shouldn't like this bike but I fvcking want one more than my next w@nk

Let me get my asbestos pants.

Now why in the world, for a vid about (American) Indian motorcycles, would you choose background music of "Deutschland Uber Alles", a revered German anthem ? ? ?

You need to true those wheels up.

British Dampner ,Sean built to his personal bike the Thor with the Buffallow iron works heads. you should have just kept it on the bike he built, it will neverr be right on any other bike, man, We bult a Wonderfull thing. like the red 27-27 double button Indian that was made from a 1920 hiawatha, Thhey are what they are quit pissing u your originals, and just leave art art!

so no leg hair on your left leg... OK! 🤪

Never ever drive a motorcycle, you’ll end up hurtin yourself, u ride a motorcycle, not drive them, remember that !

Because now? you have ruind your original race bike, put hand fabricated and modified forks with british shock dampner modifeid to fit reproduction indian forks, on a good bike of original nature, and totaly disassembaled a Master craftsmans Artissin work , of Masterfull nature, built from remnants, and lovingly hand sculpted in to a rolling Speed Portrait of fully functionalnature! Why? For what cause? Thor Was a gentalmens bike? But Sean made a racer from the broken remnainnts of such a relic.
