Stunning. The fact that you did proper mechanical repairs and allowed the machine to remain in its original condition without a flashy restoration speaks volumes of your devotion to what really matters. It looks great and sounds like a dream. Congratulations, enjoy the machine safely for many years, and thanks for a great posting.
This is possibly one of the most rarest breed of motorcycle that i've ever seen. I love how much work and dedication you have put in the motor and its just a wonderful sight to behold mate..Enjoy this one of a kind motorcycle
People who designed and built her? Dead. People who bought and loved her? Mostly dead. But somehow they're living on when this original machine roars into life!
What a beautiful machine with the original patina! That sound is phenomenal. I would love to be able to have one of these, as is! Thank you for that wonderful video :-)
1928 e ainda funciona,é inacreditável a dedicação do dono em manter viva uma raridade dessas.Ela vêm de uma época em que carros e motos eram feitos para durar a vida inteira,com pouca manutenção,não se fazem mais motos como antigamente,triste verdade!
Wow, that's all the motor are so old. I really like this kind of motor. Thank you for uploading this video to the world. You can watch this video after the next generation. Really you are a wonderful person. Thank you again.
Wonderfully!! All the bearings in the chassis are new, and the motor was built with many NOS parts. Very responsive on the throttle, shifts smoothly, and even stops sometimes! Thanks for your comment. JR
I found one of these in a barn fifty years ago. was fun to ride with a suicide clutch and hand shifting. these engines were also popular for early ultralight aircraft like the Heath Bathtub.
James Clark those inline 4s were early aircraft engines yes not just for early ultralights. They were also utilized for early WWI trainers. Even when on a motorcycle. The engine does sound like an aircraft engine
Very comfortable. This is a full pan seat, old and raggy but comforable. Sounds great a cruising speed of 55 mph. I have a stock exhaust, but found this 1930's aftermarket "Zoomer" exhaust. Correct period piece!
Fabulous machine. Congratulations on a highly sympathetic restoration. I've just had my 1975 Moto Guzzi recommissioned after 37 years sitting dormant. It was great to start it for the first time a few weeks ago.
Good to hear you say that you're finished. It sounds great and looks real good. Nice to see that piece of history restored perfectly without a bunch of paint.
+wdowa94 it sounds like an old golf 3 1.2. i mean the engine isnt that much smaller and its a mid-revving i4 engine. in other words: nothing for me. but thats all taste anyway.
This is a marvelous beast indeed. Thank you for sharing this. You get used to motorcycles that sound like sewing machines but it's really cool to hear a true motorcycle engine.
I TOTALLY did NOT expect that smoothness, power, and general 'revability' in a cold engine that ancient! Totally must have been a major contender for the period. VERY impressed!
absolutely beautiful looking and beautifuly sounding. amazing piece of history. I can't believe how healthy it sounds, I like the exhaust baffle system, lol, very advanced for the time. 😀 👍 👍 👍 👍
Love the speedometer drive set up, that was state of the art technology back then, super cool now. Would have that over any 6 figure bling ride out ther today anyday.
I come back here sometimes just to listen to that incredible sound. Nothing else like it. These must have driven people wild when they were brand new, not to mention now.
A guy found a Henderson in his grandfather's barn and brought it in for me to get running when I was a Triumph dealer back in 1954. Hadn't run since the beginning of the war. New tires and tubes, cleaned the carb, got the gunk out of the tank and it ran like a clock. What really surprised me was the torque when you revved the engine.
Superb !!! One of my favourites, really good to see such an original example. Looks like it has an external contracting band brake on the rear wheel. 👍
My dad had a four cyl Indian that he bought before WWII. He still had it when we moved to Roswell, NM in the 50s when I was five. I remember riding in back of him on that huge seat around Walker AFB. He finally got a offer he couldn’t refuse and he had three kids he was supporting on a Major’s salary. That bike was a super trooper if there ever was one. Noisy but smooth, pretty paint, low to the ground.
Nuthin runs like a good ol HENDERSON.....Had the privilege of seeing a few leave 4 THE CANNONBALL RUN IN 2012 from Motorcyclepedia...Newburgh N.Y. BIG FAN
Your gave gave me the closest thing to it ever being mine. What a great bike and owner .Thanks. BTY my dog will never be yours but yours looks like a wonderful one.
That's a really sweet machine. I'm glad that you never painted it. My grandfather had a Henderson with a sidecar during prohibition. He used it to run booze from New York to New Hampshire.

No modern bike could sound so beautiful. Really a gem. Thanks for the video.
What a wonderful piece of history, running sitting there looking pretty damn good, a big thanks 🇺🇸😎👍

Those Hendersons, and Indians were smooth road warriors in their day. The in-line four was a success back then, why not today ?
What a beautiful machine with the original patina! That sound is phenomenal. I would love to be able to have one of these, as is! Thank you for that wonderful video :-)
Amen, would that modern bikes sound that good.
What a treat to see and hear that beautiful machine running! Thanks for sharing.

Oui. Oui. Be. Allh. Tu. Be also. Slipen
Awesome exhaust note, like a hungry sports car.
good vision
Utterly fantastic!! LOVE the sound!
Sounds fantastic! Respect
No words to express !!! great bike and great restoration !!!
Surprisingly smooth running. I love the un-restored/barn-find look. Very nice! 8^)
Awesome restauration/salvation. Perfectly excecuted. Just a beautifull, original bike. I love the patina and sound. Incredible machine. Great job!!!
Wow, that's all the motor are so old. I really like this kind of motor. Thank you for uploading this video to the world. You can watch this video after the next generation. Really you are a wonderful person. Thank you again.
Wow, looks beautiful and sounds great. Glad you preserved a piece of history, and thanks for the video. You don't see one of these everyday.
I'd take one of those over a Harley any day! Really cool and industrial looking, Definitely something that was built to last.

It was built to work for the price. I imagine motors back then hardly lasted long.
Great restoration. Thanks for sharing. Keep up all oldies
Amazing sounding machine. Great job. I freaking love it. Looks absolutely road worthy. Take her out for a spin dude.
That's a real gem. Love it.

That engine sound is orgasmic. This is one of the most beautiful bikes I have seen.
Great video. Never heard a Henderson running before. Thanks for the experience! Sweet bike.
Appearance wise, I kinda hope it stays/stayed the way it is. It has a fantastic patina to the metal work.

A suicide-shift fun to ride ? I'll take mine with a jockey shift, if you please!
That's an unbelievable beauty! Hang on to it and don't be afraid to ride it!! She'll love the road as much now as she did in '28!
Beautiful job and what a lovely sound. GOOD job.

did Rich find the video?
Of course we still love him. He's Sprout. He is next to me drooling for some pretzels! I'm giving in, can't help it. Thanks for noticing Sprout.
A truly great piece of machinery, well done on bringing such a vintage yet nice back to life my friend,
I would kiss the Cylinder that thing is Beautiful! The exhaust is music to my ears love it!
That engine sounds very happy to me.
right?.. those revs didn't sound like anything I've ever heard.. harmony.. happy..very much alive and well.. you said it.
I am very happy to listen to this engine...Really AM !
Go to the hell u skru cow n bafolu use condom at farm
@@bobalhamdu2893 lay of the drugs mate, its clearly messing with what little intellectual skills you have
Quel beau bruit de 1928 ! ❤️
superb !
This is one of the coolest things I have ever found on TH-cam.
Fabulous machine. Congratulations on a highly sympathetic restoration. I've just had my 1975 Moto Guzzi recommissioned after 37 years sitting dormant. It was great to start it for the first time a few weeks ago.
Very finished!! Runs great, original paint remains, forever I hope. The next owner must not put shiny paint on this one!
the dog in the end is moving his tail because he knows he's walking a legend.
90 years old bike. Awesome. Love it. Love that doggy too.
Good to hear you say that you're finished. It sounds great and looks real good. Nice to see that piece of history restored perfectly without a bunch of paint.
Omg its so beautiful *-*
Beautiful!
10-15 years of a really great work.. Congratulations!
Glad that the patina was preserved. Sounds perfect. Thanks for sharing this.
That's awesome.
Sonido espectacular...impresionante
What a great old Bike! It's a Masterpiece and the sound is epic!
Not only is it amazing, it sounds so cool. I have never heard a Henderson run.
Thank You for sharing. Nice bike.
I'm always impressed when something that old starts that easy and runs so good. Very nice!
This is how Motorcycle should sound like- Not like actual 200mph vaccum cleaners
yes, you're right. Those sport bikes that rev to 10 or 12000 rpm do not sound good. That is why i like harleys.
+wdowa94 :D 200mph vaccum cleaners XD
+wdowa94 Just right.
The kind of noise you can imitate without burning your lips off.
+wdowa94 it sounds like an old golf 3 1.2. i mean the engine isnt that much smaller and its a mid-revving i4 engine. in other words: nothing for me. but thats all taste anyway.
You motorboating son of a gun.
Beautiful! Amazing, that the carburettor works fine, so Close to the exhaust...
Great work, Thanks for a fantastic video. Love that sound.
It's just too badass...
Starts way way way better than an old Harley
This is a marvelous beast indeed. Thank you for sharing this. You get used to motorcycles that sound like sewing machines but it's really cool to hear a true motorcycle engine.
Gorgeous! Weirdly enough, I was thinking about these bikes only a few days ago. Lovely bike, way ahead of its time.
Wow, that's great! I can't believe there were actually 476 idiots that didn't like this.
its up to 326 idiots now sir, ohhh what a shame.

I TOTALLY did NOT expect that smoothness, power, and general 'revability' in a cold engine that ancient! Totally must have been a major contender for the period. VERY impressed!
Thank you Gary. Start, shift, ride smoothly. Expensive for the day, popular with police departments, and sporting gentlemen!
beautiful peace of motorcycles history, very good restoration job ,thump up.
Beautiful...
BELLISSIMA!!!!!!
Sounds amazing!! Respects for doing this. Cheers!
Love the sound of your bike.
Best thing is it's originality has not been destroyed by the usual restorer nuts.
sir, where do you get so many cool bikes ?
That bike is really special. It sounds very good I love it.
Love the fact these old bits of kit are still around! More so they are taken out, fired up and used!. Bril, Nuff said. 🙂
wooww
Now I understand why modern bikes favour transverse engines.
justcarcrazy Also longitudinal engines on motorcycle make the bike lean under engine braking due to inertia of the crankshaft.
What a beautiful bike and easy start .
Absolutely fantastic sound cmng out from that piece of pure diamond
Very, very nice. Love the look, love the sound. I want one. Thanks for sharing.
That engine sounds very smooth, amazing for an old engine.
I am so glad this jewel found a home with an understanding and capable owner. I know you won't change a thing. Thank you.
I have other original bikes, and just finishing a 1929. See my other videos. Thx for the nice comment!
absolutely beautiful looking and beautifuly sounding.
amazing piece of history.
I can't believe how healthy it sounds, I like the exhaust baffle system, lol, very advanced for the time.
😀 👍 👍 👍 👍
The classic never dies! Even a old machine can start up decades after it was built! Anything is possible!
Love the speedometer drive set up, that was state of the art technology back then, super cool now. Would have that over any 6 figure bling ride out ther today anyday.
A lovely bike with a beautiful sound! Very nice!
I come back here sometimes just to listen to that incredible sound. Nothing else like it. These must have driven people wild when they were brand new, not to mention now.
The whole bike shudders from the torque when he revs it! Brilliant!
WOW! What an amazing work of engineering art, thanks for sharing!

I love the way it sounds. Open header too.

Amazing bike I like that u kept it original the throttle handle it weird that b a crazy bike to drive
Excellent repair job. Should look great after painting!
Old School for ever! Congratulation for owning this and making it work... Hello from greece :)
My dad had a four cyl Indian that he bought before WWII. He still had it when we moved to Roswell, NM in the 50s when I was five. I remember riding in back of him on that huge seat around Walker AFB. He finally got a offer he couldn’t refuse and he had three kids he was supporting on a Major’s salary. That bike was a super trooper if there ever was one. Noisy but smooth, pretty paint, low to the ground.
beautiful bike, thanks for posting
