The hand operated advance/retard lever was common on Brit bikes before the development of the spring loaded auto-advance mechanism. You set it retarded for starting, minimising kick-backs and ensuring a slow, lazy tick-over from cold, and advanced it for fast running. You could also retard the ignition to slog up hills, which was ideal if you were pulling a chair with the family on board!

R, On my second bike, a '69 XLCH Sportster, which I bought new in the summer of '68, the left hand grip was used to retard or advance the ignition.

That is a Brittish "Indian", I think,
because of copy rights, it can be
called an Indian in England, but if it were sold in the USA, it would be
sold as a Dakota.
Anyway, it is a much better "Indian" than those S&S V-Twin

My first single "real" motorcycle? that started my love for singles was a 1948 AJS (48/18-5809-B ) It should have had an advance lever but it had a Matchless magneto that origionally had acentrifugal advance on the sprocket.? There was no bulge for an advance sprocket on an AJS so it was timed at 5/8" BTDC.? this worked out OK as long as I eased it through compression with the release lever, and I could then start it by HAND thanks to the millstones in the crankcase.? It was a constant source of amusement to see someone else try to start it.? I had an ancient oyal Enfield Bullet that was even more unforgiving.? The previou owner wanted to buy it back after I went through it and had put a heavy chunk of stainless on it for a kick peddle.? He was careless and it kicked back snapping said peddle off and chipping his two front teeth.? He bought it anyway,? Keith Williams

Floyd Clymer, former Indian Dealership owner, former editor of CYCLE magazine, and owner to the rights to Indian motorcycle name in the 70s did put his name plates on some Enfields and some some Italian made motorcycles.
The bike pictured though, had a modern disk brake.
