I Just Bought The Cheapest Indian Chief In The Country!

[@BrandonBicasso]

Thumbs Up Button for my antics 🤓

[@DazzleRebel]

I cringed when you turned the bike around! 😬😬😬😬 You've gotta lot of work there mate, I don't envy you. Are you crazy? Yeah! It's going to be some good viewing watching Crazy Cat Brandon getting it roadworthy 😁

[@ttjbiggunner2025]

The people that Copart probably stowed the - they take stuff like that all the time like the employees working in the yard and sometimes even the shippers that's why you got to pay close attention to all the pictures and make sure Watson the pictures show up at your door

[@BrandonBicasso]

@@ttjbiggunner2025 it was missing in the pictures as well.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

Lookin forward to seein this come together man!

[@life_behind_bars]

Looks like a killer project bike! $4500 is not bad as long as that engine is good.

[@curtwilliams1190]

Bro….Love that it’s an Indian. I just hope you don’t end up spending 17K to get a safe, running Indian Chief with a salvage title. But you can be sure I’ll be tuned in to see how this saga plays out!

[@ZildjianMan30]

Holy crap! I will be glued to this channel for a long time as you rebuild this bike. Most everyone else is so obsessed with the new H-D fairing releases. It's nice to get more new Indian content. You could spend $8k on repairs and mods and still be at the price point of a brand new Scout off the dealership floor. That salvage Chief is an amazing find, for someone that wants a project bike. Which is not me Lol!

[@BrandonBicasso]

I’m thinking the same. Insurance counts every single thing as a piece to replace but there are a number of things that can be reused. I already have parts on the way.

[@ZildjianMan30]

@Brandon Bicasso Very nice. Can't wait to see more.

[@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA]

that new tank style is dope! love how they made it look distressed with patina yet still functional! engine looks good! 4k more and it's brand new! 22 chief for $8500 deal! ride it a year and sell it for $15,750 my mane doin things !

[@BrandonBicasso]

Chump change.

[@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA]

@@BrandonBicasso MOGUL 😎

[@OutbackOutlaw]

You can do it! 🤙🏽💯

[@nop3noperson]

We are going to be watching. The entire process will be gold.

[@BrandonBicasso]

I agree!

[@dwightduckins6252]

Congrats bruh, welcome back to Indian. Yup, you have a mountain to climb with putting that gem back together but I know you can do it. I am so excited to see what you have in store for this machine. Once again, Congrats.

[@tgwazu]

You got an Indian! Welcome aboard brother! Hey wait a minute - $4,500????? I’ll take one too

[@tgwazu]

Oh, never mind, lol

[@RickyNotSoMartin]

Im so excited for this! 🔥🔥🔥 Love seeing you on a Indian Motorcycle!

[@bikesandchikn]

Congrats brother!! Those Arizona mountain clips you shot were the biggest factor in me picking the chief over the panam I was about to sign off on! Love that for you and I'm excited to see what you'll do with it. Heads up, Toce is pushing through their 2-to-1 pipes into production in March. Lloydz tune will be optimized for them

[@BrandonBicasso]

Ayeeee, glad you’re enjoying Chief!

[@PrecisePBJ]

Bout time you got another Indian. At least you have the know how to fix it up and make it cherry again 👍🏼

[@davidalexander1946]

Excellent!!! Finally....very happy for you Brandon!

[@BrandonBicasso]

Preciate that 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@ryanjameson9940]

this is such a American guy mentality, save money, fix, learn and have fun. love this.

[@tylerlajko7025]

This is a genius idea man. You are the only person who is doing this with the new Indian Chief model. I will make sure I have this shared through out some Indian Chief communities so some more eyes get a look at this project

[@BrandonBicasso]

Preciate that, Tyler!!

[@debbymarshall2857]

My Indian scout got stolen on Labor Day weekend of last year. Someone took it on a joy ride and totaled it. I love you are showing this bike some love. Mine was more than just a motorcycle to me, it was part of my identity. I rode it literally every day. Seeing this opened that wound again but I know you’ll take care of this bike and get it back to where it needs to be so you or someone who gets it can become one with it like I was with mine. Definitely going to keep track on this series and how things go.

[@BrandonBicasso]

Sorry to hear that, Debby. Are you getting another Scout as a replacement?

[@whatsstefon]

Man. Another awesome new series! Can’t wait to crack open a cold one and enjoy this build.

[@REDZONERIDER]

Far out, You are a brave warrior! can't wait to see the journey unfold!

[@johnt4060]

I knew it was a Chief but this in a way is more exciting than just a new Chief, definitely gonna keep up with the build!!!

[@BrandonBicasso]

Yeeeah, many people guessed Chief, but not like this!

[@mohawkdriver4155]

Well, you got your winter project...for the next couple of years. Good luck, my man. Looking forward to progress vids.

[@BrandonBicasso]

Nah, next few months. I got more bikes I want to do!

[@philipadams3325]

I rebuilt a 1999 K1200LT that had hit a deer years ago. Rode the bike for three years after I fixed it. Sold it for a little better than I paid - had a good local source of used parts though.

[@cmatyy]

Ughhhh this makes me so happy! I know the stress you're going to endure with this restoration but trust me brother it's gonna pay off big time! Wish I could help with the process!

[@KeithHowells]

Awesome!! Look forward to the restoration and seeing it up and running!!

[@CarcassGrater]

As long as the frame is straight and the engine is good I think you made out like a bandit! Had to hit the sub to see how this project goes

[@murraydrummond6318]

You just got your self another subscriber . Like to see this bike running. I built a 97 softail and it was one of the best things I ever did. Can wait to see what your going to do with her. Cheers

[@bios_75]

Get it man! Can't wait to see it up and running again!

[@markadams5823]

I think you got an excellent deal. It looks like most of that stuff is a easy fix plus you can customize the way you want it.

[@purdyquibb]

Hahaha! Welcome home brother! Still rocking the scout but I do love that chief! Looking forward to some chief content..

[@uneasyr1der]

You're a brave man, Brandon, to take on that basket case! LOL That's a cool project and good deal, and don't doubt you can get it on the road soon, plus replacing those damaged pieces allows you to go back with something better than factory and make it your own. Though the missing speedo and headlight just being disconnected and not torn off, make me think somebody somewhere either in shipping, post wreck or the auction yard helped themselves. Might want to check the bike description from the auction?

[@King-ww1kz]

Oh, you the man!!!! Best project. You are going to love that bike when you're done with it

[@spacetruckin6555]

Our man Brandon just took it to the next level! One million subs, here he comes!

[@BrandonBicasso]

More risk, more reward.

[@reneespinosa5460]

Duuuuuuude I’m so excited for you and I can’t wait to see what you do with this bike!!!

[@paleridersteelhorse4923]

Love it. Probably, the best way to get to know your ride. Can't wait to see the rebuild.

[@jtharpe226]

Alright man so I found your channel after I ordered a Scout Rogue and of course needed to watch all the videos about it I could find. Your videos have to be some of the best and most entertaining on YT! Looking forward to watching this series!

[@BrandonBicasso]

Heck yeah! Enjoy it!

[@Dark4Watch]

Pull plugs check for any oil in cylinders also check that the engine wasn't drained of it's oil but good luck with this project always good seeing someone challenge them selfies instead of just paying someone to do it .

[@DaemonWulf7]

my man, i love ya.. you were there for me when i bought my Bobber, just a little bit after you did, .... but i think you're a little nuts on this one. i love the idea, and that you're doing it for us to show the process (and obviously for you, to see how it's done and get that feeling of accomplishment). i just hope you realize there are gonna be moments you're gonna want to roll it into the driveway and set it on fire. you've committed to A LOT, but i know you got this. as a fan, i wanna thank you in advance for sacrificing a giant chunk of your sanity.

[@BrandonBicasso]

Thanks for the words 😅. It’s going smooth so far but it will get done regardless!

[@gatorsmotorcyclemisadventu4341]

When ya take risks and step out your comfort zone is when you find out what your capable of. You totally got this and i predict you keeping it afterwards. Riding a bike you saved or built becomes an extension of who you are the most

[@BrandonBicasso]

Absolutely agree. Gonna learn a lot from this.

[@gatorsmotorcyclemisadventu4341]

@@BrandonBicasso any day good or bad is a good day if you gain a bit more knowledge then the day before. Looking forward to the content. What makes your channel great is that you take your time and keep producing content your heart is into. Quality over quantity

Congrats on the new to you Indian!!! I also seen you recently joined the Indian Motorcycle forum glad to have ya. Been watching your videos for a few years now.

At less last the seat and rear fender look pretty good! Also, maybe the frame and engine are ok too. You’ll get it done! Just do it!

Looking forward to the project, man.

[@jasonshortphd]

Yea!!! I bought a 2016 wrecked Scout from Copart. I paid $3100 for the Scout (with fees) and almost $1k in shipping. I have mine running now. You are going to learn a TON, and have a lot of fun. And yes they are hard to get centered on the jack. I have been having a lot of fun. I REALLY want that exact model, but haven’t found one at a deal yet. Make sure you get the manual from Indian. It helps.

[@BrandonBicasso]

I found the jack spot last night! Took me one try last night versus 15 while I was filming this video, lol. And there are more starting to show up now. There was a Red Chief out there with only a bent rim and handle bars. That one probably went for a pretty penny, though! Also, I picked up the service manual. Looking at it right now.

[@eljefeguapobarbon]

Sweet ride for sure! Great deal. I feel your pain with the costs incurred with such "deals"😳 Those salvage bikes are a young man's game! Your patience will be rewarded, can't wait to see the results.

[@thecoreelementsmoto]

Could be a great deal! Cant wait to see you get it all refurbished!

Awesome setup for this next series. I will be watching out for each update. Great idea. Just a shame that us Aussies don’t have the collection of used parts and get grilled in the currency exchange.

[@amphibdriver1]

If I had this chief I would fabricate both of the top rear shock brackets to position both rear shocks in a more vertical position to give a much better ride over rough roads.
