Wheels Through Time 1919 Indian rebuild

**glwilson** · 12-16-2009, 08:13 PM

Here is a link to a pretty cool museum in Maggie Valley, North Carolina called the Wheels Through Time Museum.

You may have to register to view the video -- I am not sure -- but it is free, easy, instant, and without spam in return. I have been registered for some time now.

If you click on the video link; scroll with the arrows to find the 1919 Indian Powerplus. The most interesting thing about this is that the bike was found "brand new" in a crate buried within a brick wall in mid '80's.

So... when you watch the series of videos about this "rebuild" you'll learn about this bike's history and the challenges they had in putting it together so they could ride it -- which they did.

Anyway... I found it to be a very interesting video. I had never seen a bike of this era being ridden by someone, and I got a kick out of the engine's sound... I believe you will too. I also found it interesting that the museum was able to find the original "Indian-Red" paint in a spray can at Dollar General.

Watch it... I believe you'll enjoy it.
