  • 5000 Original Miles: ABANDONED 1947 Indian Motorcycle | First Wash & Drive in Decades! Today, we tackle a 1947 Indian Chief Motorcycle that was abandoned for years in a basement, that is covered in dirt & debris that hasn't been detailed in years that will require us to pressure wash the entire bike, followed by a wash, clay bar and then polishing the paint to bring back its shine and then put the sidecar and frame back together and see if we can take it for the first ride in years.

      Brad,
      I'm like you, 75 years young. Got home in '68 and sold my 1958 Chev convertible (got a lady pregnant). Also had a '48 Indian in line 4 and a '47 Harley. Semper fi my friend..

      100% disabled Army vet. I had a 2002 Chief I ended up selling after I got in the wheelchair. It was an amazing bike that would move like a crotch rocket but felt like a cruiser.
      The 47 however was my favorite looking bike. Saw one at a bike show when I was a kid and it was love at first sight. (57 years old now)

    Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Especially after you've worked on it but old motorcycles and cars like this always have some sort of beauty to them. I love watching your videos because cleaning stuff makes me feel this inner sense of calmness. Feels good to watch your videos and just disconnect from the world for a moment. Amazing as always, thank you for sharing! ✌️

    The most beautiful bike in my opinion is the Norton Commando 850, black with gold lettering and pinstripes. That Indian Chief is a beauty too.

  • @IainBrackbill-zr4eh

    I love Harleys, Choppers, Titans and a few other bikes. I grew up on those bikes because there was a pro wrestler named Undertaker, his character drastically changed in the year 2000 and his character at that particular time was called the "American Badass" where he would come out for his entrance riding all of these motorcycles and I thought that was incredible! So I love Harleys, Choppers and Titans!
