What a joy man. In 1911 that machine was a spectacle. Imagine riding into a little town on that state-of-the-art bike. Pulling up to a pub, and inventing a biker chick. Iron American Dream on KZread Share it. 35 motorcycles later I'm still in love. Ride on.

These old guys are cool. They tire out on the pedals and take turns..not giving up, reminds me when I was a kid, my dad was kickin and kickin his old Indian for ever it seemed. Just wouldn't start. My grandpa said to me, want to see a Harley start? He turned the key and told me to push the button, Harley fired right up. My dad didn't say a word, but if looks could kill. Love the old bikes...

I think there was a fuel supply problem there on that machine. Perhaps a blocked jet or a jammed needle valve in the float bowl of the carburettor.
