What is a pilgrim pump?
ОтветитьBeautiful bike. Very interesting history.
ОтветитьAwesome
ОтветитьMade for more than fifty years.
ОтветитьThis bike is the inspiration for my cafe Racer electric fat bikes
ОтветитьYears later, a somewhat revised and modernized version of this bike was made. It was called the Silk ….. look it up
Ответитьlater in the 70,s the silk 700 used this design including the thermo syphon cooling
ОтветитьVery well engineered machines, made in Shipley, Yorkshire.
ОтветитьScotts are quite rare bikes. Between 1930-39, only about 1,350 bikes were made, but in 1929, almost the same # were built. After WW II , only 600 were made before they went out of business in 1950.
ОтветитьGot too love a 2 stroke
ОтветитьTHE MECHANICS IN THE LOCAL GARAGE SAID THAT WHEN MR SCOTT FIRST MADE THE PROTOTYPE HE ONLY HAD A STRAIGHT COPPER PIPE FOR THE EXHAUST AND YOU COULD HEAR HIM COMING INTO TOWN 10 MILES OUT
ОтветитьLooks like the great grand daddy of my Indian Scout Rogue.. 👍🏻
ОтветитьSo cool and glad you are doing well now, Jay!!
ОтветитьI want see a video where jay looks at a MZ race bike
ОтветитьCOOL BIKE I'd love one . Super fast in its day .
ОтветитьThe bike is nearly 100 years old but looks like it was designed last week, just beautiful!
ОтветитьI have always wanted one of these for my little collection.
ОтветитьThey won the TT 1913.
I might of guessed Jay would own one 👍
Very very cool ! 😎🏍🧐
ОтветитьThanks again, Jay!
ОтветитьUsually two stroke riders take spare plugs and a spanner with them. Great to see.
ОтветитьYes it's true, Scott invented the kickstarter, great video, tech spec and history of the machine, a true lover of vehicles for what they really are instead of what they are worth. You are a true gent. Mike from the UK.
Ответитьooo, squirrel! :)
ОтветитьI heard that has an intake valve in the piston…can you post some pictures with it apart, or make a video about rebuilding it?
ОтветитьDear Mister Leno, i've enjoyed your channel for years now. I subscribed, I learned, I enjoyed very much. But THIS is this is the FIRST Vehicle, I am REALLY JEALOUS of! 👍 Thanx 4 the upload & greetz from Germany. Yours, Steph Haug
ОтветитьMy woodwork teacher in School in 1972 had a Scott I believe it was built in the 50s so it looked a little different.
ОтветитьAnd with modern oil and the correct pump settings, it doesn't need to belch out clouds of smoke either 👍
ОтветитьAbout sixty years ago, I read an article that said when the DKW factory was closed down in Germany, somebody found an early Scott engine dismantled in a storeroom. It was inferred that some parts of the design were copied and used in the early DKW two-stroke two-cylinder cars.
ОтветитьThey also had Upside down telescopic forks...
ОтветитьAngus Scott was from Bradford West Yorkshire
ОтветитьThere couldn't be many? and no one will have one @the rock store guaranteed.Brilliant
ОтветитьLove all your shows Jay. Happy that you share them with the common man.
ОтветитьScott was actually a Yorkshireman,born in Bradford West Yorkshire where the bikes were produced
ОтветитьI have a 1966 Suzuki
ОтветитьA little cool looking? No... A lot cool looking. Looks like it would be a shitload of fun to ride. Small bikes very often are a lot of fun. Lightweight, nimble, and a lot of fun to throw around in the curves. I'd really love to have something like this.
ОтветитьWonderful video ! This is a 100 Years old bike and still running ! Wow, thank you so much for sharing.
ОтветитьJay never ceases to amaze me with his knowledge and collection, I would never have thought he’d have heard of Scott let alone owned one for 30 years! I saw my first Flying Squirrel at Sammy Miller’s Museum in Hampshire and I’ve not seen many others since. Fantastic to watch this episode.
ОтветитьIf only those bikes could talk. Imagine the people that rode them and the roads they’ve traveled down. Like buying a new bike now and thinking in almost 100 years who might still be riding it?
ОтветитьWhat a brilliant motorcycle. I had no idea about it. Hard to believe it is that old and operates the way it does.
ОтветитьIt's georgous. Lov the period look, which more bikes today should have like the new Honda Super Cub
ОтветитьHow can you not love a motorcycle called a Flying Squirrel? I had a Suzuki X6 Hustler. A 250cc 2 stroke. It was remarkable. This old bike would give it a run for it's money.
ОтветитьI gotta say Jay you should publish your own motorcycle magazine. Your knowledge and presentation are remarkable. There was a period I didn't ride for about 20 years but I still managed to own and ride about a dozen brands to this day. I first saw a Scott Flying Squirrel in one of my father's friend's collection in the mid Seventies. I had a chance to buy it but I thought it was too archaic and mistakenly didn't think much of Brit engineering. Big mistake.
ОтветитьLoved the piece on the Scott Flying Squirrel. One thing you forgot to mention was the unique front forks which were invented by Alfred Scott and were the first telescopic type. I'm hoping to acquire a Scott soon and will be rebuilding and restoring it to it's former glory. Are you up for a friendly bit of racing Jay? Tim.
ОтветитьWhat a cool bike! Way ahead of their time.👍👍
ОтветитьI don't care about the popping sound I would just put ear plugs in. Hah!!
Ответить"This bike was so beautifully designed." You are absolutely right on that!! As an American I love American made Motorcycles, but these were very uniquely done.
