New Indian Scout Rogue for 2022 Indian Motorcycles has a new variant in the Scout lineup. The new Indian Scout Rogue takes the company’s basic Scout model and adds some custom-style trim to class things up. Immediately, you can see there’s a set of mini-ape handlebars for a not-quite-sky-high reach, as well as a new mini fairing (bikini fairing? headlight fairing? Officially, Indian calls it a quarter-fairing). There’s also a new solo seat; Indian says the Syndicate Solo seat is intended to provide both long-mileage comfort as well as stability through hard acceleration. Indian also put a 19-inch front wheel on the Scout Rogue, instead of the usual 16-inch front. This allows Indian to use a lower-profile front tire, instead of the balloonish rubber seen on the front of the standard Scout model. Along with these updated bits of trim, Indian also has a lineup of official accessories for the bike, including adjustable piggyback-style rear shocks (with twist-knob control over compression and rebound). Although the standard gauge cluster doesn’t include a tach, Indian does have an auxiliary tach with shift light available as an option. Indian also has other seats to fit this bike, including a two-up seat with a backrest for the pillion. Indian has luggage options available as well. The engine and frame appear to be same as the standard Scout model, with a liquid-cooled 69ci and 60ci V-twin engine available. Pricing starts at $12,299 for the Scout Rogue Sixty, and the standard Scout Rogue has a $14,599 MSRP. Both bikes are available in Black Metallic without ABS, and if you’re willing to pay a few hundred more for ABS, both versions of the bike have other paint options available.

Few things helped change customs in women's clothing as much as the bicycle first and the motorcycle later, according to studies carried out by the Smithsonian Foundation. The uncomfortable corset was abandoned, the skort or leather trousers were adopted. And not only fashion: even the consumption of morphine, legal then, decreased considerably. The motorcycle gave greater independence to women, great fans of this medium in its beginnings. Cheaper than cars, they allowed similar movements with greater freedom. The women motorcyclists of those years became authentic "outlaws" of the socially established customs. In many American states it was forbidden for women to wear pants, many jobs—banks, offices—associations…didn't allow it either.

Moto syCine '29 Harley-Davidson Model J with sidecar H-D canoe-style "Royal" model, very popular at the time. White color for the movie "Goose Soup" (Leo McCarey, 1933) as a presidential vehicle. The sidecar was fitted with a small electric motor for the famous gag. The sound of the sidecar moving is an added sound effect. The Model J was the top model of the range H-D , it had a capacity of 989 cc, weighed only 198 kg and reached a V max of 137 km/h ( 📸 Paolo Grana)

LOW RIDER, HIGH PRAISE: THE MOONEYES ‘BEST OF SHOW’ DYNA THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS custom event in Japan is the Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show, better known as Mooneyes. If you pick up a trophy there, it means you’re at the top of your game. And at the most recent show, the top award went to Takuya Aikawa of Sureshot for this skinny Dyna Low Rider. This is not the first time Aikawa has enjoyed a short walk and a handshake at Mooneyes. He took out the ‘Best of Show’ award in 2019 with a 1968 Shovelhead—a very different build to this 1997 FXDL.
