LOOK UP THE WORD 'FIREBREATHING' IN THE DICTIONARY . . . . THE DEFINITION WILL LIKELY BE '1915 INDIAN 8 VALVE BOARDTRACKER IN FULL SONG' . . . . 100 YEARS OLD AND STILL KICKING ARSE . . . . BREAK OUT THE ASBESTOS UNDERWEAR FOLKS, OLD BELCHFIRE'S BACK IN TOWN . . . . THOSE JOCKEYS WERE BRAVE, BRAVE BOYS !!!!

YOU JUST GOTTA LOVE MAXIMUM FLAME OUT ON ANYTHING WITH AN INFERNALLY COMBUSTING MOTOR INVOLVED . . . . THIS IS RIGHT UP THERE WITH THE BEST OF EM FOR MINE . . . . A LEGIT, UNRESTORED 1915 INDIAN 8 VALVE BOARDTRACKER BEING GIVEN A DECENT HANDFULL OF RPM . . . . MULTIPLE ORIFII SPEWING FORTH ENOUGH FLAME TO LEAVE THE SHORT AND CURLIES WELL AND TRULY SINGED . . . . YEE FUCKING HA !!!!



Having never seen this footage before, I was completely self lubricating while watching it the first ten or so times . . . . dig the blue flame coming out of the open ports in the heads as well as the exhausts proper . . . . I had no fucking idea this was how these insanely advanced for their time engines worked . . . . as if the eight open valve springs and rocker gear on a 100 mph, brakeless vee twin weren't enough . . . . you can also see the piston skirts doing their thang through the holes at the base of the barrel castings . . . .

Perhaps the North Koreans should go back to attempting to master some of this shit before they start lobbing rockets into the stratosphere . . . . or just concentrate on food for the masses  . . . . shit, where did that thought bubble come from . . . . sorry about that chief !!!

Many thanks to "YESTERDAYSNI" on PooTube for supplying this amazing footage of one of the greatest motorcycles ever produced . . . . the 1915 Indian 8 valve Boardtracker . . . . here's to flames on your todger and splinters in your bum . . . . !!!!!
