Hubley cast iron Indian Armored "Bandit Chaser" Motorcycle. This particular bike is factory painted in battleship gray. The same gray Hubley used on the Elgin Street Sweeper. The other most unique difference is the removable armored shield has N.Y P.D. cast into it. All known examples of the Hubley Armored Motorcycle are painted red and have a shield with no markings. Story has it this bike was made as a Salesman Sample for Indian Motorcycles to sell the concept of Armored Motorcycles to the New York City Police Department. During the prohibition NYPD found themselves outgunned by Mobsters and Bootleggers. They needed a new style motorcycle to keep their officers safe. That's when the Bandit Chaser was introduced by Indian. 5 Bandit Chasers were produced by Indian in the late 1920s. Hubley soon followed offering the Indian Armored Motorcycle as a toy. The toy Motorcycle being offered is in original as found condition. There are no breaks or repairs. The paint is all factory with nice patina. The shield is all original and still has the mica windshield. This is a rare and wonderful piece of motorcycle history. This is the only known example!!
