While in Nashville I accidentally ran across the Indian dealership. I was just looking for a place to turn around, and there was this nice loop parking lot, and then I saw the sign. Well, I can't just turn around here, I must go in and look, right?
So, I checked this one out pretty thoroughly, sat on it, asked questions of the salesperson while I was sitting on it. Looked into the storage, it has more than the Goldwing, truth is, I liked everything about it. So, I got his card and got the heck out of there while my bank balance was still intact.
It's lingering in my mind though. It's very much the style of bike that I spent many years on. 4" travel on the rear suspension, which is nearly twice what the comparable Harley has, I think 5" up front. 112ci motor. All the amenities of the Goldwing.
We also talked about the private equity thing, apparently the guy in charge is legit, I remember seeing something about his bonafides a little while ago.
I've only got 10K miles on the 'Wing, and I'm sure they wouldn't come close to its worth in a trade in.
Damn, I am strong, I can resist anything. Except maybe temptation.
It's going to drive me crazy for a while. We'll see what happens.
