Table of ContentsBack in 1903 or so, when Indian was the king of motorcycle manufacturers and Harley-Davidson was an upstart working out of a shed, an Indian rider met a Harley rider on the open road. They looked each other in the eye, chorused, "Bet mine's faster," and set out to settle the issue.For the next 50 years, the two makes raced, fought, won, lost, and traded insults. This is the story of that long-standing feud. Here are the men-fearless promoter George Hendee and intuitive engineer Oscar Hedstrom; the Davidson brothers and their inventive pal Bill Harley; race legends like Max Bubeck and Joe Leonard; and heroes like Paul du Pont and Hap Alzina-who kept the battle going and the makers in business.The battle was waged in dealer showrooms, at the race track, and on the street. The agents of war were the machines, Sport Scouts and Knuckleheads; Chiefs and Sport Twins; Servi-Cars and upside-down Fours; eight-valve racers and hillclimbing specials. These revered machines are shown in more than 200 glorious color and archival black-and-white photographs. From immaculate restorations to period race photography, you'll get an intimate look at your favorite bikes.The Harley-Davidson and Indian Wars is a story of triumph and tragedy, never told before, and it's as American as, well, Indian and Harley-Davidson.Payment Methods AvailableCheck, Money Order, Visa/MasterCard, Discover, PayPal.Shipping and Handling Cost: $3.68About UsCollector Bookstore the internet's leading retailer of reference books for the collecting community.
