I like the super X's, though I have only seen two or three running on runs. I have heard they were quite a machine, but on the runs I have seen the 101 scout's will leave em behind. Dont know if the machines were stock, either brand. Maybe it was just the riders. I would like to ride with a good super X's, just for the thrill of seeing and hearing it go. I know the two cams are hot machines, but I have always been inpressed with J's and JD's. Their a great old machine.

Who cares? I don't !

Great attitude. (not)

Would a Two Cam and a Scout be in the same class?

Scouts didn't rule the roost if you were on a two cam or a Super X. I wasn't referring to Harley's 45 which was even more pathetic than a 101.

So Jerry, are you saying those are Tom Sifton's exact recorded words " cut such a swath" ? Why do I find that hard to believe? Did he take creative writing at night school? Face reality Jerry, 101 Scouts are little old lady bikes!

Obviously the Scouts ruled the roost in the late '20's. Harley didn't get their 45" til '29 and it was nothing to rave about.

By the way, today's my first look at the Indian in the Jeff Decker sculpture. The Indian looks like a Powerplus to me, which would make it at least 61 cubic inches.

These were Tom's exact words.

Legendary Harley-Davidson tuner Tom Sifton designed and prepared racing motorcycles for Sam Arena, Joe Leonard, Everett Brashear, and others. In a recorded interview, Tom told me: "101 Scouts cut such a swath, and Harley didn't have anything ready, so they put the two-cammer in a road frame in 'twenty-eight."

The 101 scout is long gone, and the horse is catching that road oiler.

as much as I like Indians it'd be a blue moon in June when an anaemic 101 outruns a 29 JD
--that dude in the sidehack must be a WW1 double amputee
