The allure of the present lot starts with the Scott marquee itself. Scott Motorcycle Company (Shipley, West Yorkshire, England), produced motorcycles so far ahead of their time that it is hard not to label them technological oddities. These innovations have earned Scott the reputation as the ?Bugatti of Motorcycles.? In 1924, when Scott debuted the ?Super Squirrel,? most motorcycles had heavy air-cooled four-stroke engines and solid forks; the Scott boasted a revolutionary two-stroke motor featuring water cooling and telescopic forks. The present motorcycle is not only a fine example of one of the most technologically advanced machines of its day, but it was restored, painted and pin striped in the 1970s by none other than the legendary Kenny "Von Dutch" Howard. As if that was not enough, Von Dutch undertook this meticulous restoration for his close friend Steve McQueen, who was as serious about motorcycles and racing as he was about acting. The bike features the infamous Von Dutch ?flying eyeball? logo affixed in cloisonné to the toolbox, while the Scott logos are all hand-painted and finished in gold leaf. A unique feature of the bike is that Von Dutch mistakenly lettered the date on the front number plate ?1926? instead of the correct ?1929.? Having recognized the historical and artistic significance of this motorcycle, prior to his death, Steve McQueen gifted the bike back to Von Dutch so that he may personally own his masterpiece. Following its sale by Von Dutch to a collector in California, the bike came full circle when it was purchased (and now consigned for sale in the present auction) by Tonny Sorensen, owner of the Von Dutch clothing company. Until recently the bike was on display at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame as part of the ?Mot- Stars: Celebrities + Motorcycles? exhibit.
