brian90505 ◊ 2010-08-03 01:22	This is actually a replica of a 1918 Indian built by Brian Hatano and Eddie Paul of EP Customs. Powered by 36-volt electric motors, requested by the studio to allow sound recording while actors are riding, also to minimize cost since genuine Indian motorcyles of that era would exceed budget. Three (3) identical replicas were built, all parts custom fabricated, Brian Hatano welded frames, leaf-spring front-ends, wired the elecvtrcal motors, and age-painted the fenders, tanks and sidecars. Design by Eddie Paul, builder of other famous movie cars from the movie Grease, Cobra, Fast and the Furious, 2Fast 2Furious and many others.
