Indian Motorcycle, America’s First Motorcycle Company, is pleased to announce that the custom Forged Indian Scout, built for rock and roll icon Mikkey Dee, will be showcased at the upcoming Glemseck 101 motorcycle festival in Germany.

The final build in Indian Motorcycle’s six-part Forged video series, the custom Indian Scout was created by Ronna Norén of Unique Custom Cycles, a legendary Swedish builder, who took full advantage of the all-new Scout’s steel tube frame by cutting and modifying it to achieve a look inspired by the bikes of Stan Dishong, an early pioneer of the chopper scene.

Mikkey Dee, renowned for his drumming with the iconic bands Motörhead and Scorpions, has always been a passionate motorcycle enthusiast and his one-of-a-kind motorcycle will be a centrepiece of the Indian Motorcycle booth, offering festival-goers a unique opportunity to see this clean, modern chopper up close in the paint and metal.

In addition to the Forged Indian Scout, the Indian Motorcycle booth at Glemseck 101 will feature the latest models from the all-new Indian Scout lineup, on which the Forged Scout is built, along with opportunities for attendees to engage with Indian Motorcycle’s team,  and experience live music.

Glemseck 101 is one of Europe’s most popular motorcycle festivals, attracting thousands of riders and enthusiasts from around the world. The event is known for its celebration of custom bikes, racing, and the culture that surrounds motorcycling. The Glemseck 101 festival will take place from August 30 to September 1 in Leonberg, Germany.

1042 days later, Marc Márquez is back atop the podium for what was the maiden sprint race win of his career. It was a dominant win in what has been so far a perfect weekend for the eight-time world champion, who topped the timesheets in every session – pole position included. 
 
Alex Márquez also had a great race as he crossed the finish line in fourth position and did especially well in swiftly avoiding Pecco Bagnaia at the start. The rider #73 managed to bad some important points, with the whole Gresini team that gets ready for Sunday with a bit of dancing…

MARC MARQUEZ #93
“We need to enjoy this moment: despite being just a sprint race, today is time for celebration. It has been a tough race and it’ll be even tougher tomorrow especially with regards to tyre management, but we must be happy now. This win, as tiny as it is, is part of the learning curve we’re in.”
 
ALEX MARQUEZ #73
“It wasn’t easy at the start. First the mistake by Pecco – which can happen – and then mine that made me lose touch with the podium contenders – as Pedro pulled away. I went wide at turn seven and lost more than a second. The pace is good, but we need to improve the feeling with the track. I think we can be play an important role on the full race distance: I’m not sure we’re podium worthy, but we have what it takes to finish in the top 5."
