"The concept of having front and rear brakes on a motorcycle wasn’t yet commonplace, so the Indian Scout had just a single rear drum."

I don't like vintage bikes but that one looks rather neat. I'm glad I don't have to ride it.

I've just realised it looks neat in the same way an office always looks nicer in a catalogue - there are no cables.

Honda used to do the same with the wiring from switch clusters. Tidier, but made changing bars a pain.

There are no cables on the bars cause there are no controls on the bars!

Traditionally, Indian bikes used to have left hand throttles so police could shoot while in pursuit.
