“The Indian Scout has long been a favourite platform for custom builders, and the 2016 Scout continues that heritage with class-leading power and handling upon which customizers can build their ultimate vision,” said Indian Motorcycle Marketing Director Scott Meek. “Through this program we are giving our dealers around the world a global stage from which to demonstrate their creativity, and ultimately to write a new chapter in the legendary history of the Indian Scout.”
The contest was already announced to the dealers, who participated in a first-come, first-serve basis. The build already began and runs through January 18, when final custom build photos will begin being published and shared on the Indian Motorcycle website and social media channels. From there, Indian Motorcycle fans will be allowed to vote for their favourites. This fan voting will continue through February 19, and on February 20 the top three finalists will be announced.
The top three Project Scout finalists as voted by Indian Motorcycle fans will receive an all-expenses-paid weekend trip to the 75th annual Daytona Bike Week for themselves plus a guest. Finally, Indian Motorcycle will host a special award ceremony in Daytona Beach during which a panel of celebrity judges will select the ultimate winner of the “Project Scout: Build a Legend” program, and party goers will vote to determine the winner of the Fan Favorite award, Indian reports.
