Bill if you got to ride one when you were 14 it must have been one of the first ones built.

My understanding is the first year was 1901

how old is dirt , and your close to my age , , don't even no what year it was , but sure do remember the ride , swing by when you take it for a test ride wes , i want to give it a ride to ,

This thing is wild. Throttle on the left grip. Right grip controls the timing advance and retard. The shifter is on right and foot clutch in the left. I would love to take it for a ride but I would get killed on that thing. We have an earlier Indian in the shop and all the controls are opposite.
