101 Scout Racer on E-Bay


1931 INDIAN 101 SCOUT WILLIAM KELLY T.T. RACED / CLEM MURDAUGH

THIS IS A GREAT PIECE OF HISTORY. I BOUGHT IT ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO FROM THE GENTLEMAN WHO BOUGHT IT FROM ANOTHER GENTLEMAN THAT BOUGHT IT FROM THE KELLY FAMILY. THIS IS ONE OF THREE BIKES THAT HAD SURFACED AND ARE IN COLLECTIONS AND OWNED AND RACED BY WILLIAM KELLY. WILLIAM KELLY WAS BORN IN 1920 AND PASSED AWAY IN 1989. THIS 101 WAS THE ONLY BIKE USED FOR T.T. RACING, THE OTHER TWO WERE USED FOR 1/2 MILE. WILLIAM KELLY RACED PREWAR & POST WAR UNTIL THE EARLY 50'S. KELLY WAS A WELDER FOR A SHORT TIME, AND AFTER WORLD WAR II HE OWNED A BICYCLE AND MOTORCYCLE SHOP.
