Brad Andres’ 1952 KRTT Road Racer | Harley-Davidson Museum

Born in 1936 to renowned engine tuner Leonard Andres, racing was in Brad Andres’ blood. In 1955, at the tender age of 18, he turned pro and competed in and won his very first Daytona 200. His record as the youngest winner still stands.

Andres was also named the AMA’s Grand National Champion during his remarkable rookie season. He enjoyed a short but storied career, capturing two more Daytona titles in 1959 and 1960. He retired soon after, and managed his family’s H-D dealership until 1976.

Come check out Brad's 1952 KRTT Road Racer in the H-D Museum's entrance.

Thumbs-Up #1 I am, Thursday evening 18 Jan 2018. If Harley-Davidson had advertised the Sportster more during those years I would have known they existed before the summer of 1988. I saw 2 Sportsters on the AAFES sales lot near Kaiserslautern in Deutschland and it the light came on. I love the Sportster with a low-rise handlebar, a 2-up seat, as they were called back then and duel gauges. Great historical film footage!

Couldn't be bothered to put some audio on this...Maybe a crawl with pertinent information...Like where the "family dealership" was located...J.C. Agajanian's appearance in the video with Brad's mom? Sheesh...You guys can do so much better...
