Title: Scott Flying Squirrel late 20's to late 30's
Post by: chris230 on July 26, 2016, 03:05:34 PM: Hi there,
I'm Chris and german and entirely new to this forum. I got quite tired of the typical german DKW motorcycles from that period, because machines like that are quite common in Germany. Anyway, I decided to look for something more interesting. The Squirrel might look a little extraordinary, but the concept is facinating me. Does anybody know where I can find a machine like this? I don't have a particular model in mind of which I'm looking for, I'm generally excited in original, patinated machines. That's like the majority of my collection looks like, including the obvious DKWs and even some other vehicles, like cars. Projects are welcome, but concerning my location, it should be in a condition that keeps me from hunting parts across europe for years (although travelling across the continent to find parts is quite exciting).
Feel free to get in touch with me, there's surely still loads of things I can learn about this bikes.

greets,
Chris

Be prepared to pay a lot of money.

It flies along at crazy speeds, handles beautifully, excellent quick gearchange, superb brakes. It's not for sale, but look for one like this. It will make you smile. The post war Scotts are not so nice.
