Show Notes
In the early days of motorcycling, one man set out to build the perfect machine—and nearly did.
This episode tells the story of William G. Henderson and the legendary Ace motorcycle: a groundbreaking inline-four that redefined speed, refinement, and engineering ambition in 1920s America. From record-breaking rides to financial collapse, it’s a tale of brilliance, risk, and a vision that lived on long after its creator was gone.
A story of innovation, tragedy… and a machine that was simply ahead of its time.
