Description:
1925 Indian Scout Motocycle. This is a unusual and elegant piece of old iron. It has the 37 ci (598 cc) V-twin engine with a 3 speed gearbox. It has a foot clutch on the left and jockey shifter on the. It has no ignition key. You just kick start it and go. To shut the engine down, there is a manual engine decompression rod on the right side of the tank. It has a manual oil pump on the tank along with a manual gas primer in the gas cap. It has a handbook trigger advance on the right handgrip with the throttle on the left handgrip. It has a foot brake for the rear brake drum on the best side. There is also a hand brake lever (not set up) that operates a secondary rear brake. This was typical in racing as your ideal foot would be on a rear peg (consisted of but not set up) and you would be dragging your left foot. In 1925, an Indian Scout Motorcycle (not this one) victoried the Coast to Coast Motorcycle Race with absolutely no breakdowns. It was the only rival not to have a breakdown. This motorcycle was made for export board track racing. As such, it has a rare X code engine. This bike was acquired by Charles Henry Mills in Sussex, England. He took delivery in 1927. He raced the motorcycle and rode it on the streets up until 1962. The initial Registration Book, license plates, and roadway tax disc are consisted of. After he died, I obtained this bike on July 13, 1985 from a dealership in London who had actually purchased it from his better half. I have had the whole bike recovered. The engine was rebuilt by Walker Machine Shop in Massachusetts. They are the foremost Indian specialist in the world (imho). All the paint was matched to the original color as found on the underside of the tank in the cross bar well. All the non-painted parts were shiny nickel plated, as they would have been in 1925. Since this bike was a racer. The saddle is a Lycett saddle from Britain.
