Twenty

years

before

Cal

Rayborn,

Indian

had its

own

superstar

i/ obby Hill is

f ^just a bit

tired of hear-

ing about“The

Wrecking Crew.”

It’s not that he

isn’t still pals with

Bill Tuman and

Ernie Beckman, the

Indian teammates

who were the guys

the Harley riders had

to beat in the 1940s

and ’50s. But that

stuff is history every-

body knows. Hill,

who at 78 still looks

forward to riding old

bikes at shows and laps of honor,

would rather talk about the history'

people don 'i know.

For instance -and take notes here if

you want to win bets in bars-who won

the only national event in which

nobody came in second?

Look it up and the record shows that

on August 8, 1948. at the Atlanta

Mile, Bobby Hill on an Indian Scout

and Billy Huber on a Harley WR

crossed the finish line so even that

they called it a dead heat (there were

no instant cameras then; this is one of

the incidents that inspired photo-finish

equipment). Hill and Huber were co-

awarded first place and the next man

across the line was, of course, third.

So, who really won?

“Why, I did,” says Hill with a grin...
