While I was out this morning for the 100th birthday ride, I saw this Henderson bike in the barn. It has an original model T crank shaft in it. Just thought it was interesting.
Quick, Joe go back and buy it for me!
Warren Henderson, then I'll be Happy motoring
Good, tear it down and salvage the T crank and scrap the cycle! If you can still ride it at age 100, you are doing better than most of us!

Hendersons did not have a model T crank.
They look like a T crank. They were shorter than a T and different in other ways too.
Ask any machinest who has worked on them.
Look at the two side-by side.
Have both and yep the cranks are different for sure. Neat KJ, looks like some other neat old motorcycles in there too. Would like to look inside that barn :-)
He has about thirty Indians, all different years and a lot of stories behind each one. He was an Indian dealer in 51 then switched to pipe line service. He is glad he got out of Indian dealership but always wanted to be a racer. Every year he has an Inline Four Meet at his place, there is a lot of old racer show up and tell there stories.
Boy, would I like to see that in real life!
