Rob Davies a writer for several UK Classic Motorcycle magazines interviews Robert Perry, Artist and loving preserver of a 1930 Scott Flying Squirrel, and then goes for a ride
I live in the USA, and I fondly remember pouring over Jeff Clews’ Scott book as a young man dreaming one day to even see one in person….I had to visit the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham to finally fulfill my dream. Extremely rare machines over here.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Seth Boden Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
When I see the large wheels I am inspired, but I know there are a lot of things that happen when you actually set the triangulation and centrugal force to riding
Oi, was that a 83/85 Honda cb650sc nighthawk behind you in the intro? I've got one of those mate. Makes my seventies two strokes seem like they have square wheels. No kick start, 4 valves per cylinder, shaft drive, tubeless tires, almost forty years old. I'd trade it and the rest, in a heartbeat, for a ride on a Flying Squirrel! The original kettle.

There is one in San Diego. Can't recall the museum name but it includes motorcar, airplanes and bikes.
What a beautiful bike and clearly loved by its owner. Amazing quality bike.
Thanks James. I love you too
Lovely machine - so simple and yet so clever - very interesting guy too, love that painting!
Lucky lad, riding that lovely Scott. What an amazing chap letting you ride it!
Good video Robert, very nice Scott squirrel, the owner Rob seems a smashing guy, he must have done thousands of miles on it over the years!

@Seth Boden It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
@Bo Bronson Glad I could help :)
I like the fact he's got modern rubber on it. Shows he likes to ride.
Fantastic interview, beautiful bike, thanks.
Love these. I'd love to see detailed drawings and cutaways of the engine. Anyone know where one can find them online?
Another great video Rob, and what a lovely, interesting bike and owner 👍🏼

Great viewing
Isn't that modern front tire mounted incorrectly? He directs the water to the middle, which doesn't make you happy.
Great Videos Rob
Just found the channel
Enjoyed those
Very well presented 👏👏

Scott had a kick-starter LONG before the 1930s.
Scott had kick-starters WAY before 1930.
