He says..."One of the last years Indian made the 4". Once Dale had gotten on board the bike it started easily , which he puts it down to the magneto Ignition. (No battery required) Dale refers to some original features of the motorcycle...The Leather saddle...the "extremely cool horn'... and 'you gotta love the Crocker steering damper' He talks about the great suspension and balloon tyres which made for a smooth ride... and 'what a cool exhaust system'...!! He finally takes the bike for a short ride before he puts it back in the museum
