Jedd, that is Paul Bigsby's prototype overhead valve 101 Indian Scout w/JD tranmission. A friend of mine owns it. I did a story about it and Paul for the AMCA magazine back in 2000. He used to be president of the LA 45's M/C back in the 40's. He was the pattern maker for Albert Crocker. He also was big in running of races at some of the old Socal tracks like Carrol speedawy in L.A. He also invented the wammy bar for electric guitars. Way cool machine. Rich P.S. How am I doing?
Jedd, seen your comment about the name bobber below this post after my comment here. I don't care what name is used as long as you ride it. I just look at historical aspect. Now you've done it, CUTDOWNS. Mostly JD,s with altered frames. I can send you an article out of a 1932 magazine on how to cut the frame, tanks, and handle bars if you'd like. I'm done, Rich
All right Rich. I guess this is why your the Dr. You are making me look like a fool! I actually got this pic off the Crocker web site I guess they don't even know what it is. I'd love to see the Cutdown article. From know on I am going to send you all my pictures first for approval and commentary. FHJ
Hey no offense at all Jedd, and Rich I could lisen to you for hours your the exact type of man that my dad taught me to shut my mouth and pay attention! I would not have any problems calling you a motorcycle guru!!! OHHMMMMM!
I also would like to get a copy of that article on cutdowns, if that would be okay, Woody
The problem with that bike is that it came from Chuck Vernon who had a habit of building replica bikes. Paul Bigsby was an Indian dealer in Reno then moved back to California. The LA45 club was a dedicated Indian mc club 1927 to 1932, but then included all 45" brands. Why would he have a JD transmission ? The tank badge is 1940. A photo from 1934 'Speedway news' has Paul Bigsby and his Indian with Indian transmission, same photo is included in Clymers motor Scrap book #2 , page 212. Mike Wolfe believes it is genuine and that is all that is important, the buyer is convinced, and so on.....
Friday, I talked to one of the owners that had it between Paul and Chuck and the mod's they did to it when they had it including installing the J trans and the 40 emblems. It's the real deal no matter what your feeling about it. Including the owner I talked to who's name is still on the dash.
