Scout Sixty – Weary Rider

Safe riders have usually developed a set of good habits to keep them that way. Whether that means visually clearing every intersection before you cross it, or checking your tire pressure before you take off; keeping safety in the front of your mind can do nothing but help.

There are some things that can be done easily while just rolling your bike out of the garage, like checking your front brakes. Others take a little more involvement but will always be worth it in the long run.

If you’re a new rider, it’s good to start developing these good habits now. If you’re a more experienced rider, you probably have a routine of your own, but it’s a good idea to constantly check and update that routine with more safe practices.

We hope this pre-ride checklist is of good use to you and helps you remember what to look for before hitting the road! Ride safe!

Last night was an event put on by Indian Motorcycles for media. It was the debut of the new Indian Scout Sixty, and the Roland Sand Design-built Scout Hooligan Racers. It was quite the show watching Roland and the guys racing around the track in a warehouse down by the ocean in San Pedro. Roland and the Hooligan Racers are gearing up for the Super Hooligan Race in Las Vegas this weekend.

The new Indian Scout Sixty offers many of the same features and components of the award-winning Indian Scout, which was introduced in 2014 at the Black Hills Rally on the fabled “Wall of Death.” True to the craftsmanship, reliability and legendary agility of the Indian Scout, the new Scout Sixty shares the identical chassis, suspension, brakes and core engine — all mated with a new 60 cubic inch engine. Featuring 78hp, the highest horsepower in class, and a dry weight of 542 pounds with a potent 65 ft./lbs. of linear torque, the Scout Sixty is paired with a silky smooth, easy-to-shift 5-speed transmission, and starts at $8,999. Offered in three classic, bold Indian Motorcycle colors, the Scout Sixty features a black seat, matching black frame and wheels, and is compatible with the many accessories already available for the Indian Scout.

The Scout Sixty is available in Thunder Black starting at $8,999, with Indian Motorcycle Red and Pearl White color options starting at $9,299. A seat height of 25.3 inches allows for sure-footed comfort at stops, and the low center of gravity ensures agile cornering, precise balance and overall rider confidence and control. A series of accessories including seats, handlebars and footpeg relocators allow the motorcycle to be tailored to fit each rider, while additional accessories such as saddlebags, wire wheels and quick-release windscreens give owners virtually unlimited freedom to customize their rides.
