I’m a Harley guy, but the 38-39 Indian fours might be the best looking American bikes ever.

Not just a motorcycle 🏍️ it was a work of art. So advanced for the time and refined.

My God, I never realized what an Art Deco work of art these engines are from the side view. WOW!

what a great looking Indian. Great job with the details. !

Definitely requesting Wheels Through Time as our family vacation!

Oh ya I would love to hear that thing run in person. Beautiful.

My friends grandfather gave him one when he was in high school that was in his barn. He had the engine rebuilt, painted the frame and sheet metal. NEVER put it all together and let it sit for 10 years. Then he sold it for $8000. I still shake my head when I think of it.

Never gets old watching all those glorious motorcycles....

Love Indians. I think it would be cool to rework a modern Indian to function like an old one. Foot clutch, right hand shift on the tank. Left hand throttle. Love these videos! Thank you for posting!

Love the Indian content, keep it coming! The 38-39 fours are incredible bikes, as are the late 30s Chiefs - definitely the peak era for Indian. Awesome video as always Matt!

I'm the proud owner of a 1942 Indian 442 that still wears it's WW-2 military accoutrements. I found her in a barn in the late 70's and talked the old farmer into selling her to me. She's Olive Green and ugly to most people but she will always be my homecoming queen.

She's a gorgeous machine. Matt, as always you really know your motorcycles, very well done!

I’m a fan of this channel ; and you did a STELLAR job sharing your knowledge to MY favorite Indian motorcycle ! It ripped my heart out at the end , where we couldn’t actually go down the road and hear and see you go through the gears … Peace ☮️

Man, that engine is smooth. It sounds like precision and it riding out the shop was graceful. I am very very impressed.

Thank you for the close-up look at the cutting edge technology of the day back in' 39. So much to take in, the bike seems like it was built for a lefty, but that front wheel rocker set up is something to see. Great job as always.

The most beautiful bike I have ever seen. I saw one at the Ford museum when i was a boy. I was so disappointed to find out that Indians were no longer made. Fast forward and I ride one every day. Would love to own a 39 and 40 Indian. Just gorgeous rides.

That looks and sounds AMAZING. Blows my mind that the bike sounds better than my 19 scout

The most beautiful design in American bikes IMHO. Such classic lines. Amazing 🇺🇸

As a kid in the 60s I had a chance to pick up a Henderson 4 basket case but instead I chose the WRL basket. Much later (2001) I had an aircraft interior shop in FL and the guy that bought and resurrected Henderson (for a while) kept his plane in our hangar.

I would so love to come to the museum and spend the day, but sadly been diagnosed with blood clots in my leg and told I can't travel from the UK anywhere via plane......devastated, looks like bike heaven

Such a beautiful bike! Every time a video is posted I’m left in awe of the collection!😮

That sound! Just gorgeous! I like the later models with skirted fenders too.

Ruff life and morning, Matt. Think I will fire up the Indian 4 today! LUCKY DAWG! This is the formula for never working a day in life for some people! Best cycle museum in the states by far! Keep up the great work you all do. Peace!

I thought he was reading from a script the first 6 minutes or so, but the narration was flowing from his mind.

I have worked on and ridden a beautiful 1929 Indian 4. That thing was a sewing machine. So smooth and easy to ride.

You are not going to believe this. This is my favorite bike. I believe I found one similar to it in Nashville years ago in an abandoned very old building. I tried to buy the building hoping to get the bike as well. I was a Realtor at the time. They have a few at a place called Marathon Motors in Nashville. I met the older guy who owned the building at the time years ago he gave me advice. Nice guy. I will check out the museum next time I am in America. I travel the world full-time now. I have seen some amazing bikes around the world. Old Japanese, German, Russian, and American bikes. Really cool to see them. I have a 1963 Lincoln Continental with suicide doors in Nashville. I hope to add an old bike and an old truck to my collection soon. Keep doing what you're doing. Love it!

Love that sound! Thanks for the video!

Thank You and the whole crew that keeps WTT going . Never forget when I found out about you guys on the Discovery channel about 10 years ago . Was really excited to find this channel years later !

My favorite! I had the opportunity to sit on this machine last year, you guys rock!

I really enjoy your videos on the old bikes great to see them being cared for and shown to everyone. You are a lucky man getting to something that it appears you really have a passion for

Wow, Very Cool, Thanks for Explaining the Real Suicide Clutch Damn with the Left hand Throttle, that would take some Getting Use To . Thanks Again Ben

That sound is gorgeous!

My all time favorite motorcycle. Never owned or even sat on one but the look is one of a kind. Thank you for your video featuring this really cool old bike.

Rode with a few of em. They sound great like a fine tractor pulling the hills. My grandfather rode with them when they were a new style machine. He had a late teens scout. Great stories about great times.

Matt you rock! Getting us Indian owners/fans/historians some great content!!

What an incredible bike back in the day! Amazing!

Your very very knowledgeable person your dad taught you so so much I watched lots of your fathers shows loved em all .. your walking in your fathers footsteps which is a very good thing keep museum going

can't express enough respect and gratitude for your knowledge and delivery! I gotta come over the hill from Jackson Co. and see the museum!

A piece of art absolutely beautiful!

i am not a bike guy,but i do love a fine machine. Your machines are the best,i like the old stuff. Thanks for the content.

Beautiful machine. Thanks for the demo. I sure wish they made them like that. That four cylinder is sweet!

Just beautiful!

What a beautiful machine. I always liked Indian motorcycles . Still do to day. I was down to our Indian dealer drooling over the new ones.

I love your channel. Not only it's an historical source, very well explained and narrated, but being italian - that means pizza, spaghetti and of course poor english, I'm sometimes in trouble watching those channels where they speak so fast that I can only follow the video using subs. You not only are relating the history of every bike in a captivating way, but you also talk so well and slowly that I understand almost everything. Many thanks for your channel, for your patience explaining the history of the finest motorcycles ever produced and for the museum.... I hope some day to finally come in the States and visit it! Cheers from Brazil! (yes, I'm italian, actually, but I'm living in Brazil :-)

Thx much for sharing and starting that beast

Cool bike, solid video, hit home as I own a modern era Indian and enjoy it very much.

Great stuff as usual Matt. Imagine a world where you couldn’t go and experience what museums like this have too offer! Unfortunately all over the USA and the world for that matter, places like this are having to close because of lack of interest/funding. National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa Iowa is the most recent. They will be closing permanently in September of this year. Keeping the lights on is an enormous amount of work and expense! SUPPORT places like DWTT by visiting, buying merchandise, becoming a donor! Tell your friends, share the videos! These guys are doing next level stuff to keep Dales dream alive! Hats off my friends, and God bless all of you and your families !

Been to the museum and want to go again and again but I live 500 miles from the Maggie Valley so thank you Matt for the best vids on U-toob.

A fast and lean bike, awesome!! Love that A model sound.

What a machine . From 35 till 39 , the best looking and stylish ...

sounds just beautiful

"Goin for a ride", whatta lucky fella! An incredibly beautiful machine! I don't know if the video fully portrays the sound, but it sounds sweet! Lookin' forward to visiting Wheels Through Time and seeing this awesome ride! 👊✊👊✊✌

I wish I could get one some day. WHAT A BEAUT.

I was born in Spfld, MA. You are correct, Indians were bad ass in the day. Beautiful bike and beautiful sound. I'll be at the museum in a couple of weeks for the 5th time. I love your museum.

Wow I never new how many bike brands there were.. thanks for what you do. I'm always learning.

Love that bike. Awesome history lesson. Suicide clutch, scary. She purrs! This bike reminds me of the song by the Tubes - She's a Beauty!

Wow wasn’t expecting it to sound like that!!! Very cool 🤘😎🤘

Beautiful bike! I've always had a thing for the 4's.

What an amazing machine! Thank you for sharing! Definitely in my bucket list once I drive by to North Carolina! Cheers 🍻!

So nice. Twisted Oz motorcycle museum in Augusta, Ks has one much like this, in dark blue I think. It took a while but eventually I came to see these as perhaps the handsomest motorcycles I've seen in my 66 years involved with bikes. Something very special with the balance to the eye.

Had a trip there planned this week, But had to cancel it , Due to sickness. But still in the Bucket list of rides!! Really enjoy your videos...

That’s a stunning motorcycle, thank you for sharing

Super smooth ... beeeeautiful ! . That was a rocket ship in 1939 Sheeesh . I am going to your museum sir .

What a sound....wow!

That’s stunning!

Another fantastic video I am always impressed with knowledge you have we don’t see most of these bikes in the Uk so very interesting and informative love every one keep them coming all the best

There's some confidence driving through all those bikes awesome awesome

My dream bike is the 1942 Indian 4. Now I am definitely going to get a 39 aswell. Have a ripper mate and great video!

Great video,thanks❤️❤️

Amazing ahead of its time engineering,foreward thinking,style and quality.

Sounds great !!!!

My brother makes scaled down replicas of these vintage bikes. For me I had back in the day a 68 Honda CB350 and he made the sculpture of it and the details are incredible. He did a Hendersen for someone else and like mine the detail is incredible and accurate.

Absolutely stunning machine.

Beautiful scooter!

My dream bike. Bellllllllllissssssima. I love it nice channel amiguito

What a sweet sounding machine!

That is so smooth at idle.

What an awesome bike. I love inline 4s.

That looks and sounds amazing ❤

Love the black and gold and the engine not all chromed up like a lot of people would do

Beautiful smooth sound on that engine , what a lovely machine.

Styling perfection!

The video I had to rewind some of the video I had to go get a towel because I was drooling awesome I have Indians I like some of the forgotten history after 53 just kind of cool

I rode one of those ONCE when I was about 15 years old, back in about 1953. I was hanging around the Smith and Enander Indian dealership in Rockford Illinois when a guy who had just bought a well-worn used one needed somebody to drive it home. I didn't have a driver's license, so I had to take back roads to get out of town. On the way, I was leaning into a long left hand curve above a high drop off to the right. As I gunned it, the clutch began slipping, the motor speeded up a LOT and the torque stood the bike straight up. I almost lost it over the bank, but did manage to keep it up. That was the last inline bike I ever rode. Not saying it was a bad bike, but that and that suicide clutch, as you mentioned, was enough for me. My dad was an Indian guy too, by the way.

BEAUTIFUL MOTORCYCLE

That's one of my favorite Bike's if all time... Since the first time I seen one... Thanks for sharing..

sounds like a GSXR750 from the 80s! all it needs is a Yoshimura exhaust, a large oil cooler and 4 flatslide Keihin carbuerators to get 120hp with 140mph out of it! lets also add a front cowl and get another extra 10 mph out of it!

I just watched this video today. When I was a boy, my dad had a '41 Chief with that in-line 4. The skirted fenders and rear suspension. At 6 years old I would bet dads friends that I could start this beast. He would crank the timing way back, I would grab the kick starter with both hands and give it a push. His friends would howl when that thing came to life. I now have a scale model of it but wish I still had his bike.

My father had a Indian in 1936! I love this motorcycle and my dream is had one...in Brasil we dont have where buy Indians!!

Great looking bike

My Lord, that is one beautiful piece of machinery😍😍

Amazing bike.

Neat bike. It scares the heck out of me every time you ride bikes through the museum just thinking what a little oil on the floor might cause. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

Wow what a beauty

Great video unbelievable bike

What a beautiful bike I love them all but that bike just looks trim clean and fast I am planning a vist see these beautiful bikes 👍

Beautiful motorcycle, sounds damn good!
