This is the second documentary where Henderson motorcycles, were not featured. amazing since their legacy contributed so much to the modern motorcycle?
still it was a glorious time to be alive. when these simple forms of transportation. were readily available to the average person.

Fascinating period in motorcycling history. Truly astonishing how much, and yet how little, has changed over the past century.

Fabulous pictorial video and history. Great stuff. Unfortunately spoiled by background music. Why do so many videos have unnecessary background music. It spoils many good videos.
