Calling All Indian Motorcycle Riders?

Hi all,

Curious if anyone else rides Indian Motorcycles on here. I've been riding a 2015 Scout for 4 years or so, recently took the FTR 1200 for a ride. Thinking about an upgrade to a Chieftain or a Springfield.

Backstory: I've been riding for 10+ years, and I'm only 23! Started on old Hondas. If you ride anything with 2/3 wheels, old or new, you're cool in my book; just curious to see if anybody else rides Indians on here.

 

That second bike is sweet. I ride a HD panshovel and a fxr.

 

Yep, there's a few of us here.
My son and daughter both learned to ride on the scouts.

Oh wow! I didn't even know there was a forum just for talking about bikes on here! Cool, I'll check it out. Thanks!

 

Also nice Scouts! I love the way these bikes handle.

 

What brand boots are those? My daughter is not happy with her boots. I think they're fine, as they're the same boots I have, but I guess she wants something a little more stylish.
This is from her MSF course, and I think the boots look fine

 

Does Victory count?

 

For the record, I did install scout mini apes. And rc components scout 3in slip on exhaust.

 

Some parts do interchange easily. I've also got the RCX slip-ons on my scout 60 and love them.

 

Bummed that Polaris ditched Victory but I am happy the about 70% of the parts are interchangeable between models....and as for the slip ons, they are mean sounding....I love them too, but I'm sure my neighbors have different opinions. Lol.

 

My neighbor has a little poodle type dog that has crapped in my yard for 10 years now. I work nights and come home at 6AM. I don't feel bad at all on Sat and Sun morning if they know when I get home.

This scene popped into my head when you described your neighbor and their dog...(0:00-0:33sec)

Hahah.

 

Sure! I think my boots aren't even from a motorcycle brand, lol. They are Relativity I believe. I've had them for at least six years, only had to get the zipper replaced on one once. Other than that I love them!

 

Didn't know we had a MC forum thanks

 

Hate to admit it, but It's only been about 2 weeks since I've watched that movie. Lot of down time at work and plenty of movies on Amazon Prime from the 80s and 90s.

 

its great to see a woman on a bike, i really want to like Indian but i never cared for the fully dressed bikes, the FTR 1200 looks really cool in my opinion...how was the ride on it? any likes or dislikes?

 

Not currently riding but I build Dunlop tires for the new Indian FTR 1200

 

Here is a good write up on it from a woman's perspective. I'm sure she doesn't speak for all women, but it's nice to see the female perspective.

Anyone here planning to check out the new Indian Chief? I'm thinking really hard about test riding one, but am afraid I'll fall in love. My wife is going to kill me if we have 3 bikes, but my daughter is pushing me to get one so she can have my 60.

Im not really into that suspension design. I understand they're trying to keep a rigid line to the frame but if they were going to go with that softail look I would've went mono.
Let us know how it goes. You can never have too many bikes in the quiver
