1923 Scott Sprint Special

Another neat bike that I saw at Barber...This one is a 1923 Scott Sprint Special...

Originally built for racing, these bikes were far superior to their competition of the time period that they were banned from certain racing events...This bike had some aspects built into it that were way ahead of its time; water cooling, automatic oil injection and rotary inlet valves are just a couple of the innovations Alfred Angus Scott used that can still be found on some modern two stroke bikes today...
