this bike and rider were the focus of some attention

The Indian vs Harley (pre 1965) rivalry is going to be the focus of a race this week near Yosemite Park, California

This group consists of a pair of Indian Twins, three Excelsior Ace Fours, and at least one Harley Davidson, all ready for some real road racing on a public road.

For eighteen years Harley & Indian enthusiasts in Australia have been recreating the rivalry that was so much a part of motorcycling in the Twenties, Thirties, and Forties of the last century. In 2011 we are bringing that Rivalry home to America where the bikes were built! The Great Indian V Harley Race of 2011 will be based in Oakhurst California, right on the doorstep to Yosemite.

During the ride we will have checkpoints, timed mileage sections and other challenges. At each checkpoint the rider will be earning points for his brand of motorcycle. At the end of our event we will gather for a banquet feast and crown the race victor and who will receive bragging rights for the next year, as the winner of the great race.

Event Registration fee: $185.00

All bikes must be 1965 & older, and older bikes will now receive an incentive!

1906 Indian Tricar, sometimes the victorian (rubenesque) biker chicks make a 3rd wheel necessary (not really, but funny)

Mr. and Mrs. Willie Kay in 1906. Before the Model-T brought affordable autos to the masses, motorcycles, and the many variations thereof, were a less expensive alternative. The Indian Motocycle Company offered the Tri-Car, a three-wheeler that placed the passenger right up front. That seat on the front is pretty heavy duty, curled foot piece and fullsides, art deco-ish Found on http://www.atomicantiques.com/2010/05/21/indian-tri-car

cool photos from Listenyourwildside.tumblr.com which is focused on early motorcyles primarily

check it out, it doesn't have immense quantity of content, but it's a good look through race bikes and race cars http://listenyourwildside.tumblr.com/

Looks like Anthony Hopkins on the movie set for "World's Fastest Indian"

The license plate is close, but not the one on Burt's trailer http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/02/burts-trailer-simple-and-effective.html , and the tall guy is wearing new sneakers, nothing looked like those in the 60's, and Burt was skinny
