We like the "off the show room floor" look vs. the "barn find" lookyoualso find on Ebay. Can you imagine being lucky enough to find finding a perfectly preserved 1912 Harley Davison in pristine condition? Most restorers willto return the bikes to like new condition vs. leave them as-is.

The first mass-produced American motorcycle, he Indian, ppeared in 1901; it was followed in 1903 by the Harley-Davidson.

Between 1910 and 1920, eams of riders competed against each other in large tracks built especially for motorcycle racing. The tracks, alled motordromes, ere made of rough-cut lumber and banked steeply--sometimes more than 60 degrees.

The early racing motorcycles were essentially bicycles with powerful engines but no brakes. They had to be towed by other motorcycles to start them.

Speeds of 100+ miles an hour were common and collisions and crashes occurred regularly; often, iders would be upended when their bikes hit 2x4s that had become worn or warped.

By the early 1920s, ocal governments began to crack down, losing tracks, nd the motorcycle companies that sponsored teams began instituting rules to limit speeds.

For shipping, e recommend Uship.com vs. FED-EX or UPS. A little more expensive but the bikes get there in perfect condition.If you have any questions, lease call Xtreme Motorsports Group, LC at (727) 481-8435.
