Will this 1928 Indian 101 Scout Start?

Close in view while cold starting a 1928 Indian 101 Scout, warming up, and setting off.
This Indian Scout was manufactured at the Wigwam in Springfield Massachusetts as an export model with the proven 37cu in 600cc engine. Unlike most Indian Scouts of the era equipped with a Splitdorf magneto and separate generator located under the saddle, this bike was fitted in Europe with a Bosch DVAR magdyno when it was new.

Thank you, I'm still getting comfortable with operating the foot clutch.. I'm having to rewire my brain after so many years using the clutch on the handlebars.

Wow that thing is beautiful!

[@island.of.scooters]

I am the former owner and restorer of this bike with engine number DG2172. Is the rubber hose with the little red drum still in place?

[@island.of.scooters]

Hi, yes it is! Can you send me an email at [e-mail], I have your binder with all of your notes but would like to know the history of the motorcycle if you know anything. Thank you

Keep my 2012dyna company 😅😊❤❤

Beautiful! If I were to send you a picture of an Indian taken in the 1920’s do you think you might be able to identify it? It’s a picture of my grandfather on his motorcycle but only shows the top half of the bike. I have others of the sidecar that was attached.

[@island.of.scooters]

Sure, I can try to identify it.

[@richarddevonmille8834]

@@island.of.scooters I tried to attach a picture but no luck. Do you have an email address I can forward it to?

Your horn mount will crack and break. It really vibrates.

[@craigboots7929]

Nice 👍

[@island.of.scooters]

Thank you!

What is the top speed? 🛵

[@island.of.scooters]

Don’t know yet. Probably faster than I would want to go on it!

[@0UTCAST247]

With a bike that it's about the ride not the speed.
