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!
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!
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 :-)
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
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
+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.
Fantastica,el sonido de un motor henderson es inigualable ninguno suena diferente,gracias señor henderson por dar a esta vida y a los moteros como yo el mejor regalo que ojala pudiera tener en mi coleccion alguna pero me quedo y me coformo con ese sonido de motor despues de tntos y tantos años es perfecto!!!
I LOVE the fact that you didn't unnecessarily restore it! UN-restored original, in good working order is far and away better than restored. Just like scrapping, once they're all restored, there are NONE left that are original. VERY nice machine!
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.
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.
You must be very proud.OUTSTANDING!!!! A great example of a great motorcycle company and a great Motorcycle Era. Now you just need a Horse hide jacket some Leather gauntlet gloves,Leather aviator cap and some goggles and your all set.
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!
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. 👍
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.

Those Hendersons, and Indians were smooth road warriors in their day. The in-line four was a success back then, why not today ?
Driving that down the road would be alpha as fuck.
I agree!!! OG as fuck right here.. great sounding bike
it would be O V E R P O W E R E D if i can ride it in school
Oui. Oui. Be. Allh. Tu. Be also. Slipen
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 🇺🇸😎👍
What a treat to see and hear that beautiful machine running! Thanks for sharing.
Sounds fantastic! Respect
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.
Awesome restauration/salvation. Perfectly excecuted. Just a beautifull, original bike. I love the patina and sound. Incredible machine. Great job!!!
Awesome exhaust note, like a hungry sports car.
good vision
Utterly fantastic!! LOVE the sound!
I'd take one of those over a Harley any day! Really cool and industrial looking, Definitely something that was built to last.
Gumba Sal same
Gumba Sal ,rose coied galdses
It was built to work for the price. I imagine motors back then hardly lasted long.
Surprisingly smooth running. I love the un-restored/barn-find look. Very nice! 8^)
No words to express !!! great bike and great restoration !!!
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.
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
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.
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!
did Rich find the video?
That's a real gem. Love it.

Person tare moter bike parts
Person early rare persy moter bike
A suicide-shift fun to ride ? I'll take mine with a jockey shift, if you please!
This is one of the coolest things I have ever found on UA-cam.
Great video. Never heard a Henderson running before. Thanks for the experience! Sweet bike.
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.
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 ! ❤️
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!
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.
Appearance wise, I kinda hope it stays/stayed the way it is. It has a fantastic patina to the metal work.
Very finished!! Runs great, original paint remains, forever I hope. The next owner must not put shiny paint on this one!
10-15 years of a really great work.. Congratulations!
Glad that the patina was preserved. Sounds perfect. Thanks for sharing this.
the dog in the end is moving his tail because he knows he's walking a legend.
superb !
A truly great piece of machinery, well done on bringing such a vintage yet nice back to life my friend,
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 *-*
Starts way way way better than an old Harley
That engine sound is orgasmic. This is one of the most beautiful bikes I have seen.
Love the sound of your bike.
Beautiful!
That's awesome.
What a beautiful bike and easy start .
90 years old bike. Awesome. Love it. Love that doggy too.
Sonido espectacular...impresionante
I'm always impressed when something that old starts that easy and runs so good. Very nice!
no me canso de ver este video.
El sonido es hipnotico
What a great old Bike! It's a Masterpiece and the sound is epic!
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.
BELLISSIMA!!!!!!
Not only is it amazing, it sounds so cool. I have never heard a Henderson run.
Thank You for sharing. Nice bike.
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.
Best thing is it's originality has not been destroyed by the usual restorer nuts.
Beautiful...
Great work, Thanks for a fantastic video. Love that sound.
WOW! What an amazing work of engineering art, thanks for sharing!
It's just too badass...
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.
Very, very nice. Love the look, love the sound. I want one. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful machine! Great restoration . . .

sir, where do you get so many cool bikes ?

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.
wooww
Absolutely fantastic sound cmng out from that piece of pure diamond
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.
😀 👍 👍 👍 👍
Love the fact these old bits of kit are still around! More so they are taken out, fired up and used!. Bril, Nuff said. 🙂
That bike is really special. It sounds very good I love it.
What a great bike !!! Even the dog loves it !!
Beautiful! Amazing, that the carburettor works fine, so Close to the exhaust...
Sounds amazing!! Respects for doing this. Cheers!
Old School for ever! Congratulation for owning this and making it work... Hello from greece :)
Gorgeous! Weirdly enough, I was thinking about these bikes only a few days ago. Lovely bike, way ahead of its time.
The classic never dies! Even a old machine can start up decades after it was built! Anything is possible!
i have to say that this is the most Beautiful Bike
that i have ever see, thank you for the video
I love the way it sounds. Open header too.
beautiful peace of motorcycles history, very good restoration job ,thump up.
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.

Красота ,звук,великолепно!👍
I love how agricultural it is. Super cool bike and a job very well done!
Thanks. Lots of power and speed. Nicely rebuilt engine with balancing and tight tolerances, shifts nice.
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!
That engine sounds very smooth, amazing for an old 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. 👍
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.
that is beautiful. the sound of that motor........perfect, as is
