One of the earliest Canadian-made motorcycles is going up for auction.
The bike – a 94 year old Indian Hendee special – was built at a Toronto factory in 1914. The discarded remains were discovered around 65 years after it was built, in a Vancouver junkyard by noted vintage motorcycle collector Peter Gagan.
Gagan has spent decades gradually restoring the bike to its former glory, but has decided to put it up for auction. The bike – costing it’s original owner around US$400 in 1914 – is expected to fetch US$100,000 at Bonhams’ sale of ‘exceptional motorcycles’ in California.
