“America’s First Motorcycle Company” introduced this week the next evolution of their iconic Indian Scout. The lineup builds on its rich history with five completely redesigned models, three trim levels, and more than 100 Scout family accessories and farkles for customization and personalization.

With the two of us alone, now long separated from our group, I had to act quickly as I had no idea how long he could last in such a precarious position.
