In approx 1915, as a teenager, my Dad had this Indian motorcycle. One day, he was speeding on a dirt road, hit a hole, the bike stopped, and he went flying over the handle bars, he landed on top of some tall bushes that gently put him on the ground. He got up, went to the motor cycle that was on its side with the motor still running. The throttle must have been wide open. His Mom insisted that he sell it, and use the Model T instead. Did not realize the manual dexterity and complexity that was involved in its operation. Thanks Jay, for allowing us to see and experience the bike that was part of my Dad's life 100 plus years ago.

Your family mustve been pretty well off if your family had a model T in 1915 AND your dad had his own motorbike as a teenager. Also what does your grandma not realizing the complexity of riding a motorcycle have to do with her not wanting your dad to crash and die? If anything the complexity involved in operating increases the risk of crashing LOL

You go into any motorcycle shop today and it's like going to a car dealership, first they hook the bike up to a computer to find out what is wrong. It's only the pre computer bikes that are hands on. Remember in 1912 the only road that span the United States was the railroad. and keep a 1912 motorcycle running for 3,000 miles by yourself is worth giving a WOW to.
@OVshyguy
@OVshyguy 8 жыл бұрын
Charles Damery i think your confused about what i said. so i'll reword it. in 1912 all non electric motorized transportation were 100% basic as you could go from 100% working to completely dismantled and back again with in hours. today you need several screwdrivers flat, torx and philips, some special removal tools and a torque wrench. back when this Indian was made you just turned till you thought it was not going to rotate. this motor is on the same level as Briggs & Stratton mixer motor.

In 2016 you can't walking ot any parts sto and order parts for a 1912 Indian or anything else made in 1912. As for the B&S engine the aluminum pistons used today wouldn't work in a cast iron splash lubrication Indian motor, that why he's got a lbum full of photos , when the engine got hot, he had to pull over and let it cool off, remember he said he only got 300 in a 9 to 10 hour riding day. Plus everything vibrates and wears holes in the fuel tank and everything that wouldn't happen in a modern bike.
@OVshyguy
@OVshyguy 8 жыл бұрын
Charles Damery your not verry bright! i never said he could use a B&S piston. you neet to stop your opinions as your reading what i posted. as for ordering parts.... your not going to be ordering a piston and having it delivered regardless. this bike as i keep saying and you keep avoiding... the mechanical knowledge needed to repair this bike is minimal. he probably spent more time finding the right Coker Tires then he did learning how to tear the bike down to check the piston. again old equipment is liked cause you can fix it with bailing wire and chewing gum and maybe a few well placed taps with a hammer. again 1912 equipment is still simple as can be.

I'll never forget you using a white towel to flag down other riders to give you a hand as a sign of distress. Also pulled up next to you at a stop light and watched you grab a tool from your mounted tools box on top of the tank and reach down to make an adjustment. Placed the tool back and took off on green. You were constantly tinkering and listening.

I've always wanted to ride my little 2-stroke, 50cc, 7 HP, 5-speed HONDA MB5 cross-country, and this is inspiration! Not that I would really ever do it, but what a cool thought. It is often said that it is more fun to ride a slow bike 'fast', than a fast bike at any speed! I have several motorcycles, from my 50cc MB5 'screamer', to a Honda Gold Wing, and the pure fun and joy I get (as well as the surprised stares and comments) as I whiz by on my small MB5, sounding like a chain saw on steroids, shifting gears like a demon just to stay in the mini-powerband, is PRICELESS!

When I was a kid, way back in the 70's, our neighbor had & regularly rode an old Indian Chief. Not sure of the year but it was late 40's or early 50's. Anyways, someone tried to resurrect the Indian name & they made a line of small dirt bikes. My father got me a little 50cc Indian because our neighbor had that Chief. He thought it would be cute to get me a bike with the Indian name on it. I wanted a Honda MR50 but that little Indian did great until I outgrew it. It wasn't a real Indian bike, actually, I think they were made in China, but I sure do wish I had of held onto that thing. They had two 50CC models. They had a mini-bike style & they had the rarer model that looked more like a real motorcycle, just smaller & that's the one I had. Anyone know for sure where those little dirt bikes were made? I was under the impression they were US made for many years but I seem to recall reading an article several years ago that said they were made in China.

Dirt bike made in China in the 70s, that sounds strange. China was just a third world country at that time.

drammensveien1 This motivated me to do some research. The model I had was the JX-50. They were made in Taiwan & Indian used several different motors. Choo Choo is correct, the 50 I had used an Italian Morini engine but Indian also used some Japanese motors. I was mistaken about China.
