Country:  | 1943 Indian Scout Motorcycle
I am not normally big on old cycles, but this recently showed up at our museum. It was ridden in, in perfect order. Nice restoration of a 1943 Indian Scout. The truck behind it in the lower photo is a 1940 Dodge Truck. We have a few land vehicles down there, but our focus is WWII aviation. We also have a 43 Willy's jeep.

Country: | I know, it is in immaculate condition too. I am not normally into cycles that much, but this one is a real gem.

Country: | I doubt he rode in with a Tommy Gun though. 
Then again, it is California.   | |
