My grandpa was great friends with dale, his name was Voyle gene williams and his son my father Charles Williams and I have a 1924 Harley that we bought the motor from
What great memories preserved here for all time. I think the carburetors are not getting any gas........perhaps it has to do with the fact that I didn't turn on the gas. So sorry we never got to meet Dale, he seems like a very humble and funny man. Oh yeah the bike was cool too.
I’ve been to lots of car shows including the el’egance at Hershey. The Indianapolis car museum was my favorite experience. If you get the chance, you should go.
@Sretsej Folks were a lot more sophistcated then you give them credit for in those days. Double over head cams with 4 valves per cylinder had already been used. The air craft industry was doing testing of engines in rooms that mimiced high altitude, harmonics and all sorts of things.
You have inspired me into getting into Mechanics and figuring things out, I am now in love with the old board track racing bikes.Literally with 0 knowledge and figuring things out for myself I have started my own bike build. Its crazy after doing more research myself that I see you commented on this video 6 years ago! Small world, thanks for all you do Mustie1.
Sportsman Flyer sells a bike that looks just like a 1909 Indian. I may be getting one next month if everything works out. The thing is the Sportsman carries a Honda GC160 but I want an Indian engine for it. Can't seem to find one anywhere though.
Consider that this machine is, however, 101 years old. At that time, even if they had made something that by today's terms would be considered technologically advanced, they wouldn't have known it, as they did not have the metrics in place to guage it--certainly not to nearly the degree by which we can these days. I refer to the understanding of VE and porting, valve size and RPM based mods--not just the understanding of displacement and sufficient carburettion which came early on.
Continued: This was a time of experimentation, where nothing was tried and true, or proven. As for the smoking, he is after all working on a motorbike--not conducting transplant surgery. Dale is a very congenial guy, and one of the rare few blokes I know who really is all he purports to be--nothing less, nothing more. I'm sorry his smoking offends you Cheers-
You're kidding, right? You have an opportunity to watch "history" that you'll see nowhere else, and you criticise a grown man for smoking whilst working on a vintage motorbike in his own shop? Really, find another soapbox. Dale is one of the coolest guys I've ever had the privelege of knowing, truly. Want to gripe about smoking? You should see him smoke the hyde of a Crocker, mate.
@VillageIdiot8055 Tell you what , you go outside and pour some fuel out on the drive and drop a cigarette or cigar in it and see if it lights. I'd be happy to wager you that it won't.
Dale and his son are good people
Just found this channel. Planning on watching everything on here. Really interesting stuff, to me anyway. Thanks!
Thank you Dale . RIP My Friend 🙏
Well done. Thanks!
Dale your the man 🏴

Hey Dale I'm looking forward to visiting your Museum one day keep up the good work!

That was lovely to hear,all those old engines will likely fire up if you give them a chance and some fresh oil.
So cool! Glad to see the old tech sill has some admirers.
awesome 101 years old
Thanks for sharing

Indians are really neat.

I’d like to see more Indian videos.

Nice -and you didn't take your kneecap off when you lowered the lift!
What would be the cruising speed of that motorcycle? Was it street legal in it's time, or just a racer?
Just a racer.
