Eighty years separate these two Indian Scout motorcycles. The first is a 1937, the other a 2017. They both run well and are pleasing to the eye. But I must say, it’s just a bit more enjoyable to push a starter button and zoom away on the newer bike….

This 1941 Indian Scout 741 is here to have the transmission rebuilt. Simple and rugged, dexterous if I may, this motor bike was built for the Second World War to military specs and performed it’s task admirably! Upon inspection, it was discovered that someone in the distant past welded the front chain sprocket to the main drive gear, making it necessary to replace the entire transmission assembly. The only item not easily located is the lone shift fork, but thankfully it somehow escaped damage, neither bent nor scored!
