Yet Another New Toy Thread - this one is a bit different!

Post by ChrisG » Sun Nov 16, 2014 7:51 pm

My Dad has just bought a 1922 Indian Scout, I'm hoping to buy a half share of it! Not the best photo but you get the idea. It's absolutely lovely. I didn't try to start it today, need to do a bit more research first!

That is truly stunning - I am no fan of motorbikes, but that is great!

BTW, if you fancy a couple of hours in front of the telly, watch "The World's Fastest Indian"

Cheers,

Not seen the film yet but I'm told it was based on a true story and bike was based on a Scout?

Also interestingly, there is an Indian Scout being launched for 2015....

Awesome film, just awesome, only saw it for the first time last year.

Nice bike, don't get old stuff that much but I get that.

Wow, that looks great. Not much knowledge of old bikes but I do lobe them.

Are the brake, clutch on the different side with an older bike?

Ps If anyone is down in Birmingham then would recommend a visit to the Motocycle musuem. Lots of lovely old bikes their and some very expensive ones (including Brough Suppiers) which Lawrence of Arabia used to ride: http://www.nationalmotorcyclemuseum.co.uk/

Very nice

Is that a leaf-spring suspension set up on the front? :scratch

Cracking looking bike.

I love the suspension arrangements on old bikes, sad I know.

I really enjoyed the film as well.
