1930 Indian 750cc 101 Scout
Registration no. not registered
Frame no. EGP 680
Engine no. EGP 680
This Series 101 Scout is believed to have been supplied new to the UK where it was used on 'The Wall of Death', which may account for it never being registered for road use. The machine has recently undergone a complete mechanical and cosmetic restoration in 'Bobber' style. The 'Bobber' jettisons surplus weight in pursuit of increased performance, and to this end later and rarer Sport Scout cylinders with larger valves and manifold have been installed. The bike has a rebuilt period-correct Bosch magdyno as well as a period Linkert carburettor and the iconic 'Feather Face' Autolite horn.

One of many other interesting details is the 'skull' gear knob, while the gear lever itself curls down in a graceful arc, referencing the machine's previous life on 'The Wall of Death' where the riders used their knee to shift gears. Also note the Corbin speedometer. LED bulbs are installed in both the John Brown Motolamp headlight and the period US rear lamp, ingeniously wired to perform both stop and tail light functions. Yet another bespoke and unique feature is the 'Coast to Coast' auxiliary oil tank. This feature not only relieves the rider of any 'total loss' oiling anxiety, but also doubles up as a chain oiling device. Offered with an Indian Riders Motorcycle Club dating letter, this unique machine has not been run since the restoration's completion in 2022. Key not required.
