On July 12, 2022, original Indian Wrecking Crew member and AMA Hall of Famer Allen “Bobby” Hill died just four days after his 100th birthday. His racing career was the stuff of legend, and he was the last surviving member of the original Wrecking Crew.
Racing isn’t always a family affair—but very frequently, it is. When Hill was a teenager, his older brother worked at a local Harley-Davidson dealership. Through him, Hill began to learn about and become interested in bikes. He rode for the first time at age 14, then went on to buy his first bike at age 16. It was a 45 cubic inch Harley-Davidson WLD—and the rest, as they say, is history.
