Virginia finally got it's first Indian motorcycle dealership recently and I stopped by yesterday to look at the Scout in person. Nice bike. Different. The one they had was a dark dull red kind of like glossy primer color, I suppose its part of the "nostalgia" look. I did notice something that may have contributed to the accidental kick-stand drop described above. The stand is extremely far back, the pivot point being behind the drive sprocket and as far aft on the frame as possible. It seems the unusual location would take some getting used to even the Indian Chief's stand is in a "normal" location forward.
The dealership sells Polaris products ATVs, Victory, Indian and Slingshot. They had 8 Chiefs, 1 Scout and 1 Slingshot and a bunch of various Victorys. There were 3 hold tags the Scout, the Slingshot and 1 Victory bagger.
I did not drop any of his bikes. I was the only customer in the building on a Saturday morning.
