15 cents per acre thank you

robbery by fountain pen

what the hell is that

it's a clock it's crude

but it works I made it from spare parts

no need to make a new pattern

the same gear 2 inches wider

diameter wise by end of day

hey dad what's up

you done studying for your entrance exam

yes ma'am

you need to be extra prepared

I'm prepared Ma

with your brother convalescing here now

and your father barely able to work

those are your Sunday clothes

where are you going

all dressed up to town dance recital

we're gonna meet Art Arthur Davidson

Lord be careful

don't wait up for me Joe I'll be out late

I want to finish up with you

hey hey

where have you been OK

are you ready I don't know

are you sure about this absolutely

I promised you flesh and I shall deliver said flesh

we're not gonna get in of course we're getting in

hey when have I ever gotten us in trouble

all the time

hey

so so I don't

ladies and gentlemen and a half

you have such a way with me

away with me

with me do not think it's right

her foot chose the scale to the minchuck ass explosion

engine Anna held like that and you draw this

I'm gonna figure this out

maybe use it for a school project

you see this is what I'm talking about

with your smarts you don't need to go to college

I'm trying to concentrate on it

oh snuck in again huh

why you're such a way with me oh

I hope Walter is able to come to your wedding

I wouldn't if I were him

he has 12 acres he has to watch over by himself

Arthur what happened

oh just a bit of bad luck yeah

follows you everywhere when are you gonna find a job

I work not angles a job with a paycheck yeah

time to pull your weight around here

where did you get that I earned it

it's $3 enough to buy a month worth of groceries

for the entire family there see pulling my weight

we don't want dirty money in this house

go out and earn yourself an honest wage

just because I'm smart enough

not to have to break my back like a slave

or work some job that I hate

doesn't make me worth less than my brothers yeah

I build things

Walter works his ranch

what do you do voice

well what do you think

I think it's an upside down bike no

your foot engine on the bike

this is it this is our

venture a motorized bicycle

I don't know

others are messing around with engines on bikes

so we do it better maybe but the

the foot

engine isn't even big enough to power a bicycle

so we just uh no

before you say we just do this or do that

building an engine any engine

it's a massive undertaking

you build railroad engines just the draftsman

this would take metallurgy

combustion science machine tools and money

none of which we have

bell Bell I've known you since we could walk

you were born for this you know it too

you think so well

I yeah looks great

wow

hey Joe Markle here yeah

what would he want with you

your old money or something

do you know where he is hey Joe Joe

these boys over here asking about you

Joe Merkel pleasure sir

I've been riding Merkel's my entire life impressive

I've only been making them for 6 years hahaha

what do you want

to talk about the future

I think

we all agree that there is one problem with bicycles

pedaling

we offer the perfect solution

a small powerful gasoline engine

not much larger than a lady's foot

my associate Bill Harley has engineered it

improving on a European design engineered

this is a piece of paper

that's why we need you sir

you have a machine shop a foundry

we would need a modicum of financial resources as well

you did these

Joe

you gotta look at this

this is way better than those flimsy mail order engines

we're using mail order engines

did you on Bhutan from France

they work some ain't reliable

we call ours the Davidson Harley Merkel huh

my name comes last huh

you are last of the show sir

we would give you a majority ownership as well

I get it kid

but this won't work

bike frame can't carry the horsepower

should have put his name first

look at these hacks

they're using scraps

if I can figure out another way to get you

the parts you need can this actually work

yeah I think so

why what are you thinking

you sure you're up for honest work

yes sir

Mister Davidson Sir

you hang it here uh huh here

yeah 35 degrees here

it's good you can start on that drilling

yeah

come on it's the only from my shop

I can't let this go my whole crew knows

all right

and forget whether it's possible or not

you at least agree that there's a market right

yeah it's making it though art

I mean that's not what we're talking about

haha hell

I think we should get some ice cream Arthur no

yeah let's get some ice cream

what can I get for you

you'll have to excuse my silent partner here

partner hmm

what do you boys do

we're from Davidson Harley and we invent things

picture this

only faster because it has a revolutionary gas

explosion engine doesn't look so revolutionary to me

ours will be revolutionary

will be it's in the future tense

well then I'll bring it back in the future

hahaha

alright

come on come on

what what happened

these home brewed parts aren't cutting it

we need precision machining and new parts Arthur

we can't just keep cannibalizing everything

okay grab a pencil

grab a pencil write this down

dear brother

I write to you of a great opportunity

you really think

Walter will invest in such a small operation

he's family besides

he's a big time rancher and a railroad machinist

and this is smart money

remember Bill Harley from across the road

he and I have made an amazing machine

a motorized bicycle

the engine is strong and swift

she'll take you anywhere

you're brave enough to point her

we could use some capital

$75 for marketing and such

we'll gladly repay you with interest

initial estimates put sales in the hundreds

don't be ridiculous Arthur

maybe you're right

initial estimates put sales in the thousands

hello

to the bride and groom

Walter

Walter's back everybody

hey I'm a married man

hey it's my wife

hey hi

I came back

I did

I'm glad you're home

me too

so uh it isn't ready

you think I came all the way back here

to see your amazing machine

oh you're back for the wedding

of course it's our big brother

although I am a bit curious to see

what you bothered to write me about

okay

let's see it

I just said it isn't ready

you were gonna take your brother's money for that

and pay me back how huh

you've never worked a full week in your life

how many others have you floated this past

no one it isn't like that then what is it like

we made the engine it works

it works it did until it didn't

you made this Harley

we both did

you both drew these

it's not bad Harley

is it fuel delivery

so maybe the problem is it's starving no

no the the mixture is rich enough

it's the firing sequence it almost seems delayed

like the fuel isn't burning fully or something

what if you change the point when the spark occurs

I could advance the position fire the spark earlier

what about the final drive

um

the main issue there is the chain it's breaking chain

huh

you could try a belt drive like on a tractor

it ain't pretty but it'll work

let's try it good

this frame is too small

so I made a bigger one I gotta say see

bend it out

alright

come on let's just do it boys

wait wait wait wait

there you go

go go

press the inlet valve hold it okay

press it it's pressed are you pressing it

yeah oh

haha keep pedaling keep going

haha see it works

never be late again damn it my exam

where is he going college

going to college yeah

that's his plan what's yours

I guess I didn't come back just for a wedding

well we just needed capital

not another partner you take the front

listen it's the cost of business

you know that besides

it took the three of us to get it to work

you can't just walk in here and be part of this

this is our venture you need me get over it

come on ah

you're back

hahaha

what

what is it

this machine

it's I

I can't explain

it's like

this is it

and our next version oh

I'm sorry our no

no you must mean Bill and I

because I don't see why we would forget about trams

cars trains

this is like nothing else

I'm still shaking

I wrote it until it ran dry twice

how'd it go it didn't

I missed it

no yep

my parents say

that's what I get for wasting my time with this

you built something out of nothing

do you know how rare that is

it's rare as going to college

getting a career taking care of my family

can this go faster for what

no no

it'll it'll be too loud

too dangerous nobody's gonna wanna buy that

people will want it trust me

we can't make this one faster

but if we had money

sure yeah we definitely could

$175

that's all I got

we don't need all you got we

railroad and their bank got the rest

they allowed me to sell for 15 cents an acre

if I'm gonna put my money into this

it needs to be real what's

it needs to be real others are already doing this

so we gotta be different

ours needs to be bigger

stronger

faster

we built it tough

I want ours to go anywhere

it goes anywhere

it's a tall order Walter

why do we have to lose

good yeah

come on come on come on

come on

full

full full

come on full

one more one more full

come on ah

come on stop

it's not even a two horse engine okay

so we just use it for for what

for pastors who wanna take it on Sunday picnics

you wanna sell it to old ladies

the keyword here Walter

is sell hey Davidson

that Markel's new bike

there she is

she's getting ready for when handy comes to town

Handy Bicycles is coming here

yes sir

they are now

the biggest makers of motorized bicycles in America

calling theirs the Indian

but why is he coming here

draw spectators sell bikes

America wants to make an impression

when

I saw Walter Davidson flying through town

on your revolutionary contraption

actually it's

it's our contraption the motorcycle

we all built it together

so when do I get to see this motorcycle

Walter has it

probably driving it across the State House lawn

have you ridden it yet yeah

what's it like like an explosion between your legs

excuse me I mean

it's it's fast

hmm

so this is what you wanna do

I wanted to study engineering in college

but I missed the exam well

can't you send them these

those are just drawings

these are more than just drawings

I don't know so why not try

I've been reading about Hindi

his main markets are New York

Boston and Philadelphia it's a city bike

good ride a bike through Wisconsin

Clay can sure as hell ride it down a city street

not the other way around

all I'm saying is it should be recognizable sellable

we built a loop frame

it'll handle a little better

it does look like a motorcycle

remember we're selling to people who come from bicycles

should we make it look like a horse

only problem now is

the carburetor keeps overfilling the engine

I need to rework this

this just came

they accepted me no

no

thank you thank you

college

so how's this gonna work when you're away in college

I don't know

look do you even need me

Walter knows this stuff inside out

yes Davidson Harley Motorcycles has a ring to it

of course we need you I'm sorry guys

you can't not go you can send us drawings from school

you'll still be our partner no

no no no

are you kidding me art

this this is real

we'll figure out

I put all my money into this and our engineer is

walking out on us

we committed to this Bill

all of us all of us

so you need a carburetor

a trade for our self oiling bearings

how do they work

you can leave

we drill a hole in the crankcase

to feed oil directly to the big end bearing bullshit

can't be done we use a dental drill

fine then

here we go my last spare

you should have Bill put that on make sure it's right

well we're very busy here

nice doing business with you

what the hell is George Handy doing

here in our sleepy town

some of you know me as a bicycle racer

and I win world champion in 1886

that's why I made the Indian the best

don't believe me

there are now 50 motorcycle makers in America

everyone gets a chance to race against Indian

in our Expo run

next spring races in every city

all makers welcome if you can best my machine

then I want to partner with you

to take Indian motorcycles to the next level

yeah alright yeah

alright

Mr Hindy it is an honor sir

let's show this Easterner how we do things in Milwaukee

aha I see

the needle didn't seat properly on this carp

goddamn engineer

if the potential energy functions as an

independent of time

all vectors are scaled by a non zero constant and

the entire Lagrangean is scaled by the same factor

we fall back on this

when Newton's formulation is inconvenient

so he turns to Cameron and says

you can have it in any color you want

so long as it's black that is typical of Henry Ford

he's an idiot he's an ass hahaha

I don't know why father works with him

we can have our own factory producing our own

oh I'm so sorry sir

is your name Harley

you made the lady foot

huh the engine

we raced a machine at the hills

oh I'm IRA Mason and this is my brother Cecil

I've seen you at the university

what are you studying engineering good

you make a lousy waiter

see you tomorrow Eddie

alright Joe

hey

a lot of excitement yesterday

look that wasn't my idea

okay I didn't

I have the balls to speak up

I want the real card

why'd I have to break in

you'd fire me better than a broken arm

is that a threat without a doubt

now I thought what Joe did was lousy

you almost cost me my machine Eddie

I don't like Joe Marco anymore than you

but I need this job if I'm gonna race these machines

get me the car

then we can talk racing

maybe

race for you

just go get it

now the float for the carb goes here

see that uh huh

knows your shit

we'll give you 50 cents a day and meals oh

hey what

you got yourself a deal no

no no

we need to talk about this

we need the help this is what expansion looks like

hey you boys got Harley's engine the loop frame plant

let me help you

we put this together we beat Hendy

Cecil and I graduate this spring

we're starting an enterprise backed by our father

Mason Gears I know we've used them

father built a business along to Westinghouse

and now Henry for two

but we'd like to make our own machine

we're looking for an engine designer

well

bleeding all like a pig

I was hard on her I wasn't that hard

Jens the machine I've been telling you about

sir you walk how far each day

10 miles a day at least

you know

you get a better sense of the lines from this side

come around here come on

hey Maya

hey now we have sold out our first production run but

thank you

50 dollar deposit from the gas man for our prototype

he'll pick it up after the expo run

you saw our problem with the oil leak

we need our engineer

Sir Isaac Newton I presume

Art

Walter where do you uh

we heard you made some new friends

a few

something about a motor business

it's different than what we do

what we're doing is racing our bike

we need you back for the race

I can't I have school

work and this meeting to prepare

for I'll try to be there but try to be there

look I'm sure you'll come up with something

what does that mean

I love the motorcycle that we built

but this this is less of a risk

there he is

I'm Cecil Mason

this is my brother Mason gears

these are your new friends

is there a problem with that

not if there's no conflict of interest

we didn't know you had a contract with Bill

we don't

do you

I never saw Bill as a Judas goat

he always got a family to think about

sick brother

sick brother

hell I got two of those

welcome to the Indian Expo

run more than a race

it's a wide open clash of ideas materialized in steel

alright same sequence again alright

once over are you conscious

are you listening to me hey

how you doing yeah

I'm glad you came I'm glad you came

I don't know where Walter is

but there's a beer tent just over here

and you can check out the rest of the bikes

that's Murkel what

remember Joe Murkel told you about it yeah

how's she running good

this is make or break for us

how you feeling like I'm gonna make a break hahaha

look at you Mister Fancy man

better late than never yeah

I'm not so sure about that

bike looks good

really good I think there's a spot in the stands

if you came to watch

should be a good view from over there

what an engine you have there

how many horses does she have

we estimated at three sir

what a substantial machine

but there's your problem too

what the hell does that mean

how heavy is it about 140 pounds

give or take

I'm sorry you can't participate

I thought this was an open event

yes but there's a weight limit

safety considerations for others

oh come on

you're making this up you don't want us on the track

uh huh you're afraid we'll win

keep this up I'll have you ejected from the grounds

you built this as an opportunity for upstarts

when it's really just self promotion

you're a fraud Mr Handy

multifaceted

do you leave on your own

or do you need help from my boys

it's okay we're leaving what

what we're racing

we're leaving what

no good luck Mr Handy

such a shame

no sturdy bastard

this was never an opportunity

just push me off what

push me up

push push push

come on run

come on run

go come on

let's go he's with the Indian

come on Walter

come on Walter

crack it wall go

please repeat the sentence strictly in lower case

without punctuation and

text formatting

no no

oh my God

come on

you could have killed yourself

congratulations guys

don't you have somewhere to be

I I

I do actually

that's what I wanted to talk to you about

your family needs money

whatever the Masons are offering

we can't match it

hey Harley

the frame holds up

yes it does

young man

I saw you with that racer

whose machine is that it's mine

no sir

that's mine

I won my motorcycle

I feel like I won the race myself

a C H Lang

piano tuners

I own the largest manufacturer in North America

well

if you're interested in purchasing a Davidson Harley

I suggest you act fast

our initial factory run has sold out do you have a card

they're being printed at your factory

your coat is a hand me down

your shoes are covered in grease and you have no car

I believe this company you speak of is largely fiction

well our bike is real

you saw my brother steal the race out there with it

well how about we discuss how to get your machine built

on mass and into dealerships across the country

in dealerships Mr Davidson

I see a great opportunity for both of us

my sons have the interesting

idea of making an affordable car

they say you're the guy to make it run

we offer a full salary while you complete your degree

you'll work summers and consult during the year

it's a non compete if they're paying you

work only for my sons

let's go see the show

you need to get up and tearing around

I thought there's only one way to get back

I've got a check here for $1,000

whoa

from whom a

Chicago businessman

who wants to open a dealership in Backus

another shady associate

business is full of shady associates mother

but this one is for real C I s Land Bank says it's good

really yeah

yeah

oh oh yes

oh big Bill

we're gonna need a foreman to uh

oversee things

like I'm gonna work for my bonehead little brother

maybe I'll think about it ah

fuck God

let's not get up now so we don't come down

he's being himself

he's being himself here and he's both down here

all right good

good OK

Andy here we come

he was right about the weight

we should get it down yeah

you can do that right

I trained as a machinist not an engineer

is it the family needed this school and income

it's a blessing

but it won't be mine any of it

what do you mean the company

it's the Masons son

you need to sign this

sounds good

surface of the leather oil seal burns after a few miles

and it starts leaking oil on both sides of the crank

maybe you could cast a counter

rotating spiral into the crank pin

it'll force the oil back into the motor

it's not a bad idea

you were great the other day

this thing

it's part of you

huh

you come to say goodbye

well

good luck

thanks

hey Harley

it's a part of you too

all right

sell me

a motorcycle will get you where you wanna go

it'll pull a cart it's reverse

any terrain and what you see is what you get

a machine that wears its heart on its sleeve

not the sales pitch Arthur

you Walter

wants to make a machine that goes anywhere

rides hard ignores the rules

but beyond money

why does Arthur Davidson want this

I wanna make my good name

and you could too

we got money Bill

an investor

not enough to pay you what the Masons are promising

but enough to keep your parents happy

a million men built the pyramids

and none of their names are on it

ours could be

I'm not working for the masons

speaking of names

I've been thinking

you have to trust me

do you know what you're throwing away

I haven't taken this lightly

this is my chance mine

beg your pardon

you brought us up to stand up for ourselves

and I am and I want you to support me huh

Ma

wow

hahaha

like sitting on a stack of dynamite

three out of five you got it chief

hold on let me check something

where did you come from anyway

Texas I mean

you ride like the devil ha

well it's the only thing I'm good at turns out

only thing I really own you know

yeah I know

thank you Walter

on this bike

out here

speed racing

only time I'm somebody

I just son of a field hand

but I tell you one thing

when I get on that track they gonna know my name

alright three out of five

five out of seven 51 out of 100 it's your pride

good job

all right it's just like riding a bicycle

only complex and powerful

so you pedal it started and then um

once it's turned over hold her steady and uh

use this lever to engage the bell okay

you ready yeah here we go

haha haha

this is a breakthrough

it is yes

women can ride a Harley Davidson errands to the grocer

the post office it's a whole new market

she can really ride which is very appealing

very appealing

go Anna

here we are

so these are the bikes yeah

all our motorcycles are assembled here on site

it's big Bill Davis

hello former

hello right in here

Miss Bezel

Bezel

it's a pleasure to meet you miss

you might not want to shake my hand

when you hear why I've come here today

oh

I'm writing

an article about the dangers of motorcycling

murder cycles I call them

and wanted to give you the chance to go on record

another article

great yes

thank you this is very kind of you

pardon

please

murder cycles have captured the attention

of young men across the country

there seems to be something about these deadly machines

which excites the spirit the freedom

and the speed of these machines

provokes a new kind of wildness

thank you

I couldn't have phrased it better myself

this kind of press is hard to stimulate

you look like the cat who swallowed the canary nope

not at all I understand being driven to a cause

and I respect somebody who stands for their beliefs

please miss Bycel

write as many anti

motorcycle articles as you possibly can

uh do me one favor though

what's that Mr Davidson

please don't ever ride one of our machines

because if you do

you'll have too much fun

you'll become a huge enthusiast

and then there goes all my free press

Eddie Walt

look at this come here

oh

this design is gonna concentrate power

what's that that it's a butterfly valve

more power a lot more power

good job Bill

I just hope it works

it's gonna eat up the rest of Lang's investment

it'll work

we enter the Catskills enduro race

it ends with a ceremony at Handy's headquarters

the press from New York is covering it

this race is about three things

number one sales

we need dealers to survive and this is how we get them

two we have the better machine

but no one knows about it

that ends at this race

three

we beat the bastards huh

this is it the future of this company

will be determined upon this race

Miss Bison Mister Davidson hello

how are you good

how are you oh please

oh thank you

it's great to see you you too

oh you

we actually we have a race this weekend

would you by any chance like to accompany me a race

yes it's an enduro race

so it pits man against machine

it'd be a really great story for

a really great journalist

it's in upstate New York New York not

I don't think that my fiance would appreciate that

oh

no no of course not

Town Hall have a nice day you as well

there he is

Preston King head of the East Coast Dealers Association

he's the one we need to get us our dealerships

Mister King

ah how are you sir

good to see you he seems a bit buddy

buddy with handy yeah

doesn't smell good does it

no

that's him that's the man to impress

I'm gonna impress the whole crowd

yes I'm sure you will Walter

but the crowd can't get us dealerships

Mr King can why can't we just open our own dealerships

because beneath his stuffed shirt

beats the heart of a cheap gangster

if he doesn't approve of a dealership

then leases are broken shops burned

we can light fires too

impressive machine

I'm Preston King

Walter Davidson it's Bill Harley

Eddie Mister Lang

and my brother Arthur

Mr king it's a great pleasure sir

pleasure to meet all of you

as you know we're looking to expand our operations

and I hope you like what you see out here today

let the best man win we will sir

so long as everybody plays fair and square

good luck gentlemen

look forward to speaking after the race yeah yeah

how's she holding up

gentlemen

this is a race around three circuits of the course

this race is about the machine and not the racer

if your rider injures himself

you may replace him you are allowed to refuel

but if your bike breaks down you're out

ah

ah what's wrong

ah oh Jesus

whoa whoa

it's a little rough out there

come on come on

get the first aid kit grab a bike

come on help me get him up hey

I'll take over no

no do you need a doctor

no doctor

you okay you alright

well hey

can you do this I can do this

help me get him on the bike

come on

give me your goggles give me the hell

help me get him on let me ride

I'm ready to go I don't wanna hear it

whoa

go

Indian motorcycles old

how do we feel gentlemen

we in we in

good man good man

gonna make a lot of money gentlemen

we will do we will do

trust me on this it's a win win deal

I'm in Mister Handy good man

excuse me gentlemen

trust me

they're giving you Indian stock options too

pardon me handy is giving dealers premium stock

to only sell Indian motorcycles

you should get in there buddy

I'm gonna be giving you Indian stocks shares

that's money in your pocket

come in come in

you wanna hear about this deal

first place Harley Davidson

my friend wants to know your name

it's on the bike oh well

Harley Davidson can we buy you a drink

without a doubt on to the victory ceremony

come on Harley Davidson

let's get you on that winner stand guys

Andy's got a sweet gimmick

he's giving premium stock options

he's paying dealers to sell Indians exclusively

robbery by fountain pen all over again

hey handy

you may have those clowns in your pocket

but no one can ignore what they saw today

but the whole crowd saw

all they saw was a ruffian

we built a better motorcycle

what good is a better bike if you can't sell it

congratulations gentlemen on your victory

come here no

come here you seem to be missing your eraser

what this candy ass looking girl in a red suit

that's enough come here

no get back

nothing to see here

does it hurt

not much oh

what can we do to make it better

you know that's a great question haha

hey

how we do

bye

see you

2

2

only 2 new dealerships signed up

after that stunt you pulled

I won

we won Walter

and it takes more than winning races to generate sales

they threw the first punch

there were a dozen photographers there today

tomorrow it'll be in all the papers

we need more press selling

selling motorcycles Walter

not mayhem you should thank me

the last thing our company needs is the public thinking

we're sissies

the outline image is much better

it's far better that machine has muscle

is tough goes anywhere

does anything that's what the customer wants

that's what you want Walter you're damn right

president of the company

does not get into fist fights with competitors

in front of the man who can get us dealerships

enjoy your evening

I can't help you we're open to varying terms of sale

it ain't you guys I can't sell Curtis's

Ark Cell Sires or Griffins neither

my contract is solely Indians

we put it all in this is

this will ruin this will ruin us

the house the savings

if this don't work we don't eat well

well why did you do this

well there were overages

bills to pay I

I didn't think it would go south

what were you thinking huh

that that you damn dumb idiots knew what you were doing

you let us down

and you

huh

I should have known from day one you'd screw this up

Arthur Davidson head of sales and marketing

she won't great

hey hey

hey hey

hey come here hey hey

hey Billy

you stay out of this this is a Davidson matter

you ah ah

quiet down there

that's enough stop it or I'll knock your heads together

that goes for you too Bill Harley

have a little faith in Arthur

he's brought you this far

I need a beer yeah beer

yeah

do we have to do this

I've heard nothing but bad things about this guy

no bank is gonna give us a loan

without more dealerships how many do we have

11 Indian has over 100

yeah well we hear him out

a new race

with new machines

radical engine modifications

a track made entirely of wood

with all turns banked at no less than 60 degrees

60

that means speeds of around 80 miles per hour

my engineers have that number closer to 90

90 miles an hour physics do not lie

so like a bicycle velodrome at motorcycle speeds

everything I offer is tangible

and based on scientific principle

thousands of spectators

close enough to feel the heat of the engines

so how many of these do you plan on building

there'll be 30 motor drones in operation

inside three years

and that's a 200,000 people

all watching Harley Davidson in action

think of the press

the dealers

the potential customers

are you singing the same tune to Hindi hmm

what's an arena with only one gladiator

so the rider will experience something called G force

theoretically the faster they go

the greater the pull on them toward the track

to keep them safe hardly one knock into another bike

going 100 miles an hour

I'll send the rider flying with obvious results

great

what else oh

he also wants to standardize bike specs for safety uh

the opposite fix speeds the bikes are either on or off

so how do they uh no brakes

hahaha

no

I don't think we do this

what do we do instead I don't know

this is not some test of a rugged

dependable go anywhere machine

this is a blood sport period

it's gotta be Harley Davidson on that track period

I'll do it I'll ride

what happens if we don't do this

what happens when Indian wins big

and we're nowhere to be seen

we sell a bike here and there until we close up shop

hell Walter alright

no brakes G forces

25 machines going 100 miles an hour huh

all clumped together forget it

this is suicide we're not doing it

says who I said I'll ride the motor drum

I'm sorry Eddie

it's not that you're not good enough

you are it's that it's too dangerous

but not too dangerous for you

I wouldn't ask anyone else

we are not asking anyone to do anything

if Harley Davidson endorses this race

and someone gets hurt or worse killed

hold on Arthur

you know I'd win

you know I'd win and it would just kill you

to see another man cross the line first

the answer is no

okay

I quit

good luck

Eddie

Eddie come back

no big Bill I waited too long man

Harley Davidson is not racing the motor drum

are we clear

wasn't personal Eddie

without a doubt

there he is that son of a bitch

he's risking everything we worked for I know

let's get down to the pits

I'll stay you go

you sure yeah go

I can't back up I can't

yeah

go

let's go Walt

come on come on

oh

fuck

off

Eddie

Harley come up with that

that's kind of the point Joe

you don't know if you can't be civil
