The final drive chain is missing on that bike. Here is a picture of another very similar example:



The bike in the first picture sold at auction a few years ago for $775,000. Here is an article before the sale, with some great pictures: One of six remaining, Steve McQueen's 1915 Cyclone board track racer to cross the block in Las Vegas

Well, that explains it. They spent all their money on the bike itself and couldn't afford the chain.
