@@jeetkunedoatlanta2464 yea I’d like to see you ride my cbr 600rr across the country. Not happening u won’t make it. First thing you are gonna say that’s not a bike u do a trip like that with.
Nice! I trailered my Indian Scout to Sturgis for my first time there in 2020. The wife would not ride from NC. Still had a great time and did plenty of rides around the area, seeing all the sights. I hope to go back again, but maybe ride out by myself next time. Thanks for the video. I recognized a lot of the roads you were on. Cheers!
Me and a buddy of mine use to ride coast to coast once a year but on big touring bikes we both bought Indian’s, he has a scout and I bought the ftr1200 and my buddy is afraid he won’t make the trip because the scout he says is too small, I’m ready to go on my ftr1200 little tiny gas tank and all , thanks for the video I want him to see this
I have no vibrations. Runs around 4000rpm or so 75mph (+/-) I ride Highways back and forth to work all summer. Can cruise at 80 or more if I want/need to.
Kills me when people think a Scout 60 is some 'commuter bike'...it is built similar, with similar horsepower, to older Harley Fat Bobs...and people have driven them across the continent! Of course, when most people reviewing Indian bikes are Harley guys and Rice Rocket pilots, then you have to take whatever they say with a BIG grain of salt!
Really nice video. I liked the way you took your time averaging a little over 500 miles per day. Biggest problem I’ve had with a few of the people I’ve ridden with is they push between 800-1000 miles in a day, it wasn’t enjoyable. And stopping every 100 miles or is about perfect to stretch out if you ask me. Makes me want to take a road trip.
As a Chicagoan, Do Not Go Through Chicago on a bike. Take 80 west to 355 North instead. Yes 355 is a toll road, but it’s well Mai trained and flows. It’s a longer route, but it will go faster, and is more enjoyable if you have to do highway. It will also take you to 14 which will take you all the way to Sturgis if you like. When you cross the bridge from La Crosse to Minnesota is my favorite part of the trip to Sturgis on 90. There is a great food spot on the LaCrosse side called the Crossroads Bar and Grill.
There is a cool stop just before Wall Drug that isn't really advertised, you almost have to be looking for the sign. At mile marker 116 there is a preserved missile silo with a disarmed missile inside. They have the huge hatch pushed halfway back and windows over the opening. In the summer there is usually a retired Air Force missileer that will explain what all you are looking at.Good for a quick leg stretch.
Great video! I've done a 1500 mile/36 hour ride on my 2021 Scout from Colorado Springs up to Billings Montana and back. Awesome ride..my ass paid for it for sure lol. I did have 2-1 liter gas bottles just in case.
You better hurry and get those Indian dealerships before they go out of business again lol. Seriously though, how was the outside of the Air Force museum? We have never been to it and have always wanted to.
It was awesome. Nice to be able to walk around all those Planes and appreciate them up close. Hopefully I can go back when the inside exhibits are open again
Awesome ride man! I'd like to go Sometime when rally isn't going on. I don't do crowds lol. I feel like a wimp though. I got a big ole Kawasaki 1600 and I'm afraid my ass couldn't take it while you ride a scout like it's nothing 😂
Awesome man! Glad you got the chance to make this trip. Riding through Chicago is always my least favorite part of heading out west. Riding through that field with the cows looked cool. Great video!
Hi. Love the video, thanks. Thinking of getting a Scout 60 or Scout. There's a great s60 for sale at my local shop with only 5500 km on it for a good price. One question, can you tell me what is your bike's configuration? I'm looking at getting floorboard, 24" windscreen, their hard luggage and highway bars. I'm thinking about the heated grips and Stage 1 exhaust as well. Thanks again for the great video.
Get the Scout 60. As long as the price is reasonable. I am at 36,000 miles and have had no issues. I put together a Playlist today for people wanting to look at my upgrades, and what I have done for maintenence. ruclips.net/p/PL8-X6rYJEcn0wwLm5MIq95YS6i7msura9
Ayyyy! Also from PA (central) and also a Scout 60 owner, although I'll probably be upgrading to a Chieftain in a year or so. Sturgis is definitely on my bucket list but was always scared off by the mileage. Really encouraging to see someone else make the trek and on a Scout no less.
You can do it I rode to Sturgis from Philly last year it took me 3 days one way to do it the only problem was I was so tired by the time I got there I didn't do everything I wanted because I knew I had a long ride back to Philly
I have a 2020 scout 60 and I love it💯💯 but I also hate it on long rides, after a couple hundred miles I’m ready to call it a day. It’s my everyday rider for work it’s about an 80 mile round trip with no issues with comfort. My question is how do you keep comfortable on long rides? I’m 6’2 with the mini apes and extended reach package.. thanks in advance 🤙🏻
When I did the Sturgis trip I just had the stock bars. I had a full link sheepskin on the seat. I also have a Mustang Solo Seat with backrest. The bike rode great with that.
That's proof that you don't need a full on touring bike to cover the miles 👌
Shoot , you don't even need a bike ....
He didn’t have the most comfortable ride that’s for sure
I don't need a Mazda Miata on 2 wheels to enjoy a long ride.
@@Sequel7a real biker doesn't need a comfortable ride, just two wheels and the road....

Enjoyed the vid , especially the end made me laugh!!! New sub
Thanks for watching and subscribing
Well done
Nice ride. I live an hour south of Maumee Ohio, I've always heard it pronounced "Maw-mee".
Great ride!... Hello from panamá 🇵🇦
😎👍
Ah yes. Wall South Dakota and Were the heck is Wall Drug!
Didja stop at Jerry Greer's Indian Engineering in Deadwood? Source of old Indian parts and restorations and memorabilia.
I wish I had known about that. We all would have for sure
That town in Indiana you came in on 20 is called Angola! Home of my University, Trine!!!
You should have stopped at Skips! It was right past the circle downtown. Cool video!
Thanks. Hopefully someday I will be back through
how does the 5th gear do at higher speeds 80+ as far as vibration and rpms ..?
I have no vibrations. Runs around 4000rpm or so 75mph (+/-) I ride Highways back and forth to work all summer. Can cruise at 80 or more if I want/need to.
I would rather ride to Krispy Kreme doughnuts 🍩 and enjoy some hot glazed doughnuts!
Great video - hello from Texas! Looking to get me a Sixty - question - what windshield are you using?
Memphis Shades Fats
The tallest one they have
@@CDLNEPA Thank you!

How was it without a gas gauge and such a small tank? I’m looking at getting a scout but the small tank and no gauge really turns me off.
I stopped every 100 miles give or take. Still had over 1 gallon left each time for the most part.
That’s the worst excuse I’ve ever heard. Get on that bike and ride!

I wish I had the time and money to do this more often. Really enjoyed it. Definitely needed time to stop and see things along the route.
We ride Iowa to the Rally and back in one day rides. Don't have a choice and it's about 10-11 hr. ride.
The statue in Angola, Indiana is a Civil War Monument because that town was founded in 1838.
I'm thinking two-gallon gas tank bolted to the back side of a sissy bar with a hose running to the main tank.
I did a 2200 mile round trip on Scout 60 last year. How many gas stops did you make and did you have many 'almost fumes in the tank' moments.😀
I have been lucky with it so far. The gas light is never a good indicator. I went 30 miles with it on once because I couldn't find a gas station
@@CDLNEPA from what they say you were on fumes. I get over 120 miles on a full tank and I get nervous even without the light on.
I rode to South Dakota back in June from KY. I made it to Oacoma, SD on the Missouri River. Had to do the 1000miles/24hours. What a trip!
Nice
I love that corn smell n just seeing them all
Pretty corny 🌽

My plan, when I go again in the future is to head through Canada.
I have two buddies from Oregon you'd get along with well. They both went from Harley to Indian.
Great video! Really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!
A big thumbs up to you great video keep safe brother catch you later

I remember seeing that on the maps when I was looking for places along the route.
Great video,my Scout is from Toledo Indian,I want to head to Sturgis 1140 miles from Van Wert Ohio but seemed to far, now I’m thinking maybe not .
It wasn't bad. Definitely a great trip.
I plan on riding from dunkirk ny 2023. I am figuring 3 day ride 500 to 600 miles per day. Are you riding out this year?.
Not this year. I have 2 other summer rides planned already
Good share
Great video! I've done a 1500 mile/36 hour ride on my 2021 Scout from Colorado Springs up to Billings Montana and back. Awesome ride..my ass paid for it for sure lol. I did have 2-1 liter gas bottles just in case.
Nice😎👍
Elkhart indian is always closed lol i live in elkhart and ride a scout myself. Everytime i go to that dealership they are closed lol safe riding
I finally got a chance to catch them open on a trip to Milwaukee this past August. Was surprised how many new bikes they had.
All those Harley's had to pass you, any wavers?
Mostly nods on the highway
I was there on a 2020 icon scout... Stayed at the buffalo chip... All the way from south of Houston, TX
Nice
Awesome! Love me some trip videos. 👍🏻
Inspiring video!! Love it man, get out on the scout and ride!!
Love putting the miles on this thing😎
That ride in western Minnesota and eastern SD is brutally boring. Looks like you had a great trip
That's a great time, looks like. I'm eagerly awaiting the day when I can ride a bike up. Thanks for sharing.
You better hurry and get those Indian dealerships before they go out of business again lol. Seriously though, how was the outside of the Air Force museum? We have never been to it and have always wanted to.
It was awesome. Nice to be able to walk around all those Planes and appreciate them up close. Hopefully I can go back when the inside exhibits are open again
Thanks for posting would really rather know about fuel mileage sounded like a Indian motorcycle commercial
I doubt you actually watched it then, since I never really talked much about the motorcycle at all in the video.

It is definitely a beautiful area to ride. Just don't go when its snowing 😄

Just found your channel while looking for Indian videos. I have spend a ton of time in north east fishing and riding.
It's a nice area for both.

Are you making the journey this year??
I don't have enough time off to go this year. Hopefully in the next few years I will be back.

@@CDLNEPA are you doing the ride this year?
This year I am going to Virginia and a few weeks later Milwaukee. Hoping to go again in a couple years
What's the fuel range vs when you actually get fuel?
I was stopping around 100 miles on average and usually 2.2 to 2.4 gallons. Mostly highways 75 to 80mph (and above in South Dakota)
@@CDLNEPA awesome video! Keep the shiny side up!
I grew up in Dunkirk,N.Y. was cool to here Jamestown.
I live in South Florida now and 4 of us are going to ride from Fla to Sturgis this August. Can’t wait.
Have a great time. Hoping to make it back there again in the next few years
I'm enjoying this way too much. Btw that wny accent is strong... sound just like me.
I from Indianapolis, my wife is from Rochester... VERY STRONG!! HA!
Great video! Love the Indian!
