Reviewer Don Hunt Sadly passed away a few years ago. He was a very knowledgeable motorcycle enthusiast and had a large collection of machines from vintage, classic and modern. Although he was fascinated by the evolution and engineering development of motorcycles, his real passion was riding. All his bikes would be regularly ridden through the lanes of Hertfordshire where he lived in England. In his youth, he and his wife would travel vast distances exploring Europe on a motorcycle. Many of his adventures ‘2 up’ were made on his Laverda Jota. His eclectic and diverse motorcycle collection included British, American, Italian and Japanese machines – namely James, Indian, Sunbeam, Velocette, BSA, Ducati, Laverda, Honda. However, his deep passion was for Scotts. Not only did he love to ride his ‘Flying Squirrel” Sprint Special but he would always enthuse about Alfred Scotts revolutionary bikes, which for their time had a water cooled 2 stroke engines and even a kick start. He was recognized by the VMCC (Vintage Motor Cycle Club) as one of the most knowledgable Scott specialists. – Shaun Fenton for Ride CT. Read more about Don Hunt HERE.

SUMMARY

Don climbs aboard a beautifully restored 1915 Indian V-Twin 1000cc American motorcycle. One of the most successful motorcycles ever made and has a sporting pedigree. It was produced in large numbers, selling 35,000 in 1913. Some of its features include: electric lights, tool box, town & country exhaust, effective suspension and an idiosyncrasy, a left-hand throttle. Some say the left-hand throttle was to enable the rider to draw his gun with his right hand and continue controlling the bike with his left. A truly magnificent machine.
