It is not very often that six Detroit-era Hendersons get to tour the Adirondacks. After arriving in upstate New York, the pre-Cannonball shakedown ride offered a unique chance to hear the sound of William Henderson’s engineering expertise. Twenty four cylinders resonating together on back roads through the old towns of early America…stone houses, abandoned paper mills and some serious farm equipment.
As with any shakedown ride, problems arose which needed fixing. Can you imagine replacing a clutch bearing on a single speed Henderson within 20 minutes while having lunch? Done!
Tomorrow will be devoted to some mechanical tweaking and more riding.
