RIDES

MOTO-MAKEOVERS

MOST MOTORCYCLES HAVE A LINEAR LIFE CYCLE. ONCE THEIR DESIGN IS GREEN-LIT, IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE BIKE GOES FROM THE DRAWING BOARD TO THE OPEN ROAD. EVENTUALLY, THESE BIKES ARE IMPROVED UPON AND REPLACED BY NEWER MODELS, ONLY TO TAKE THEIR PLACE IN HISTORY. THAT IS, OF COURSE, UNLESS A TEAM OF DEDICATED INDIVIDUALS PUTS THEIR CREATIVE JUICES TOWARDS REMIXING THESE CLASSIC RIDES AND GIVE THEM A SECOND WIND. FORGED FROM PASSION, THESE TWO-WHEELERS HAVE BEEN CUSTOMIZED AND GIVEN A PERSONAL TOUCH BY THE PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THEM THE MOST.

1918 INDIAN TWIN BOARD-TRACK RACER

The board track racing era had a solid 20-year run in the early 20th century. Although the sport was short-lived, it did gain considerable attention from racing enthusiasts in both America and India. The love of the sport led to the creation of some stand out motorcycles from both countries. Now a century old, the 1918 Indian Twin Board Racer has been reassembled and restored to its former state of glory. Thanks to a masterful restoration process, the Board-Track Racer is made of mostly original parts, making it a high commodity among collectors. Price : $150,000 USD
