The RSD custom Scout to be given away at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip event

The Roland Sands Designs custom Scout pays tribute to a Sturgis match made in Heaven

The epicenter of the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally spectacle is the iconic Buffalo Chip Campground. Speaking of iconic, there is not a motorcycle brand that is more indelibly rooted in American motorcycling history than Indian.

The two icons are coming together in the Buffalo Chip Moto Stampede Indian Scout Giveaway. Roland Sands Design (RSD) has created an exciting Scout that will be the crown jewel of the giveaway.

The modern Indian Scout Sixty merges classic style and cutting edge modern technology. It is also quickly emerging as one of the motorcycling industry’s most reliable marquees. Roland Sands Design has put the Indian through the gauntlet of the K&N-sponsored Super Hooligan racing series, and the Scout Sixty has more than proven its mettle.

Roland Sands Design trusts the Scout's engine protection to K&N filtration

“After all of the revving and thrashing that is Hooligan racing, we have honestly never had to do anything to the internals of any of the engines in these bikes,” reports Sands. "We are truly impressed; and we are still trying to break them.”

While the new Scout Sixty is a true turn-key excitement machine for the masses, in the hands of hotshot hooligan racers and flat trackers, the Indian is a fire-breathing podium topper.

“These Scout Sixtys have proven themselves over and over to be strong and take repeated beatings with minimal maintenance,” says Sands. “After each race, all we seriously have to worry about is washing them off, changing the Motul oil, replacing K&N oil filters, and new Dunlop DT3 tires as they wear... that’s it, outside whatever we have bent or broken from crashes. Exactly what most of us want out of a motorcycle; something you can enjoy riding more than working on.”

The Roland Sands Designs custom will be battle tested in the Sturgis Super Hooligan race

If you are the winner of the Buffalo Chip Moto Stampede Indian Scout Giveaway, you can have one of the coolest custom Indian Scouts to date. The RSD Scout Sixty will be one of two custom Indian racers to be given away after facing off at the RSD Super Hooligan races at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip Moto Stampede.

That’s right, a lucky contest entrant will ride away on the race-tested and battled-scarred RSD custom Sixty. The winner will be announced at the Ozzy Osbourne concert at the huge music festival hosted by the Buffalo Chip.

The RDS Indian Scout Sixty build is a virtual smorgasbord of exciting mods. Performance upgrades include a custom RSD exhaust, K&N filtration, and dialed in suspension.

The Scout's billet aluminum bits include a custom RSD upper triple clamp and ultra-trick hand and foot controls. The bodywork is also custom trimmed and adds to the Scout’s race inspired look.

Finally, the paint scheme is a one-off tribute to the merging of the two icons. Both the Buffalo Chip and the Indian logos grace the Scout’s tank. The RSD custom Scout Sixty is truly a treasure that some lucky contest participant will cherish.
