From 1920 to 1949, Scouts and Sports Scouts-renowned for their handling and low center of gravity-were the motorcycles of choice among Indian enthusiasts heading for the race track. Likewise, the Scout and, to a lesser extent, vertical-engined Super Scout, have since come to be regarded as classic American road-bikes of the period. This history brings both the race and road bikes to life with a blend of archival images, modern color photography of restored bikes, and first-person accounts of legendary riders like Bobby Hill and Ed Kretz, who worked in bike shops during the week and raced for peanuts at local dirt tracks on Sundays.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Typical Jerry Hatfield,
By "r60man" (Manassas, Va USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indian Scout (Paperback)
Jerry Hafield's books are of the finest quality. Well researched and very full of the detail one expects in a book of this nature. Hatfield follows the entire history of the Scout from the beginning to the end. Included are many great photographs of restored and original machines. Much of the racing history of the Scout is included as well. I gave it four stars because it is a paperback, mine will wear out quickly I am sure.
