After hanging on a dentist's wall for 30 years and then being stowed in a garage and then a basement, a 1903 Indian motorcycle will have a new owner. On April 21 at the Frederick County Fairgrounds bidders from around the world will compete to own a piece of two-wheeled history from Charlie Alder, Jr.'s estate.

The motorcycle has already travelled more miles in 2012 than it has cumulatively in the last 90 years - albeit in the back of a van. The bike has been stored at his private museum of antique motorcycles until making its trip to the auction in western Maryland.

Multiple pre-1930 Indian and Harley Davidson motorcycles - and even a sidecar - will accompany the 1903 model on the auction block.
This motorcycle hasn't been sold since the 1950s. The last time it changed hands outside of the family was during a barter for $50 of construction work by Adlers dad - before the bike was considered to have collectible value.
