Indian Scout FTR750 Flat Tracker crash lands at Sturgis

Indian unveiled their lovely new FTR750 Flat Tracker overnight at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Unfortunately during a stage presentation, bike builder and accomplished motorcycle racer Roland Sands, clearly no squid, seems to forget that the Flat Tracker has no front brakes, or suffers some sort of malfunction and as he rider on to the stage, fails to stop and crashes off the stage and into the crowd, injuring a number of onlookers. Check out the video below, oops….

The third member of the Wrecking Crew, Ernie Beckman, passed away in 1999. The motorcycle featured the #51 of Bill Tuman, as a tribute to the last rider to win a Grand National Championship on an Indian in 1953.

The design of the race-only bike reflects the heritage of key Indian racing models from history including the Big Base Scout; a historic bike that won in Daytona, dominated events across the country and is still raced in Vintage competition today.
