When one uses the name FreakShow to baptize whatever motorized contraption, we immediately expect the product to really blow our minds away. We’re not sure we can say the same about this thing here, a customized Indian Scout.
Last week, Indian Motorcycles announced the winners of the Project Scout 3K competition. It was a twelve-week-long race between eight UK-based Indian dealers who committed to creating incredible bikes.

Over the years, we’ve gotten used to Harley-Davidson organizing all sorts of build competitions for its international dealers. The most recent such gimmick was last year’s massive King of Kings competition, which saw the Mexico-built Sportster XR1200 Apex Predator come out on top. 31 photos
The Apex had to battle several other exciting builds coming from all over the world, and that made the competition particularly challenging. It must have been challenging for Thor Motorcycles as well this year, given how the workshop had to fend off eight other competitors. Still, it was probably a tad easier, given how all the entries in this competition are shops based in the UK.
A total of nine machines have been built over a 16-week period, with public voting available online until Monday, May 31 to crown the overall winner. This year’s champion will then be announced later that week on nineteen01.co.uk and Indian UK’s social media channels. Our customers tend to invest an average of £3000 upgrading and customising over their ownership period, UK sales manager Andrew Simpson said. We wanted our dealer network to showcase that average customer spend in our Project Scout 3k Challenge.
All of the featured machines demonstrate an impressive level of skill and ingenuity on a budget; however our personal favourite is Bad Company , by Krazy Horse, in Bury St Edmunds.
