Indian

The 1913 Indian 8 Valve is by right the grandfather of the boardtrackers being one of the first motorcycles to speed of 50 mph. This slim machine had no brakes and had to be rope pulled into position for the race. The model became so popular that Indian was producing 200 models a day and they still could not keep pace with the orders. they booked a stunning 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place in the first ever 1913 San Diego to Phoenix Desert Race. This stunning motorcycle only has two or three original factory racer models known to be in existence.

Harley Davidson

First seeing the light of day in 1920, the Harley Davidson 8 Valve is one of the pinnacle motorcycles in the racing world. A daring experiment by Harley to beat the competition in boardtrackracing. Harley went to develop a speed monster so everything that did not contribute to speed was stripped from the motorcycle. This resulted in a never before seen 115 mph!! The downside was the bike had no brakes, so driving was at the riders own risk. Harley left the competition biting the dust after winning all eight boardtracker championships in 1923 propelling the popularity of the 8 Valve for years to come.

Triumph

The Triumph Bonneville is one of the best produced and performing bike from the legendary British bike builders known as Triumph. When Triumph built the new Bonneville they were at a financial breaking point. Little did they know that the new Bonneville would be their best selling motorcycle ever! Named after the Utah Bonneville Salt Flats where Triumph’s rider Johnny Allen broke the 1955 World Land Speed Record. The Triumph Bonneville was available in two distinct colors, gray and the more valuable and rare tangerine.

BSA

BSA was one of the few consumer market motorcycle manufacturers that survived World War II. This was because from the start of the company in 1906, BSA delivered solid and reliable motors rarely built for racing. In 1937 Wal Handley lapped the Brooklands circuit at over 100 mph on a BSA Empire Star and was awarded the traditional Gold Star pins for the feat. That was the inspiration for BSA to produce the BSA Gold Star. The 1956 Clubman itself was most know for hitting 65 mph in first gear!!
