The Scout was built by the Indian Motorcycle Company from 1920 to 1949

The 101 Scout, made from 1928 to 1931, has been called the best motorcycle Indian ever made

Production of these continued until the end of civilian production in 1942

It was featured in the “Art of Motorcycle” at the Guggenheim museum of Art in New York

It rivaled the Chief as Indian’s most important model

A second line of Scouts, with lighter frames and reduced engine displacements, was introduced in 1932

This Scout was converted to a “bobber” post WWII and painted with the owner’s war time bomber nose art
