EDITOR’S NOTE: We’ve been fans of this Dual Sport Sportster ever since it graced the cover of Hot Bike back in 1991. Well, it just so happened a little birdie (Mark Atkins aka the Butcher) hipped us to the Dual Sport Sporty’s current whereabouts. As it turned out it remained relatively unchanged, and it was in impeccable condition. In fact, the dual Sporty was getting ridden quite a bit by the current owner, a 78-years-young Bob Scott of Hesperia, California. We had to go out and pay Mr. Scott a visit to see how the bike was holding up. After an afternoon of photographing Bob ripping through the high desert on the dually, we knew this bike and its story were worth another feature. It just so happened that we tracked down previous editor, Buck Lovell, to write the follow-up piece to his original article from 1991. Enjoy.
