 Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get. |

While on vacation on the BRP in August, we stopped at WTT and had the luck to watch Dale attempt to get one of his early 1900's model bikes running, part of a series he was doing in August where he'd be starting a different bike every day.
Very awesome place to visit - those machines are amazing (but I'm so glad I hop on, turn a switch and hit a button to fire up my fat lady!).

I'd be curious as to what the final take after auction would be just on the vintage bikes.

None of us will probably ever see in our lifetime a collection like that. I think Dale will probably have some of those in his collection soon. I like the old 4 cyl. inlines, kinda reminds me of my hot rod Rocket III.  I watched all the videos. |

Thanks Joe, what a terrific find.
I'd like to have one of the old Model 'A's.
I have always wanted to build an 'A' for a daily driver.
Yeah, a Hot Rod.

That was GREAT!!!! Ya could tell that Dale was having fun getting the old bikes runnin !!!! Good videos!!! If he got them started as easy as the videos showed, he is a miracle man. Never been able to pour fresh gas in a bike, check the oil and hit it 3 or 4 times to start,. Always had to tear into the carbs for a general cleaning, even if it was carb cleaner sprayed in. first End of my rave, but sure glad to see those Excelsior inline 4's do their wrangle jangle. Loved all inline 4's, my dad had 1 and also a inline 4 Indian. The Indian was the 1st bike I ever rode.... After that I put many a mile on it in the pasture. |
