    I am proud to be an American, the home of Indian Motorcycles. Hey Bill... Was this what you were asking for? Got to say she's lovely. Nothing sexier than a pure and raw motorcycle. Taken to it's most simplistic form, that's to me what a bike should be... Nothing extra. Now all Polaris needs to do is a weight shedding program and recreate a real "new classic". I can use those words too... Wheeeee.

    "This 1938 Indian Sport Scout "Class C" Racer is truly an amazing piece of history. Come see it for yourself at the Daytona International Speedway."

    Might be able to talk about that bike ~forever .... 1938? It must have been too cool to practically invent all that and then see it perform ...

    First, I like that kick-starter holder and what is that big wing-nut looking thing on the front fork just to the left of the number plate?

    A linkage fork so appears to be spin off axle bolts for the lower lower linkage pivot/shock mount. I had a Girvin linkage fork exactly like that design on a 95 Pro Flex MTB.
