Re: Rock My Ride
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.
@CalvinAndHobo , yours is a Chieftain, right? Similar.
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.
Re: What did you get today?
It’s not all those tasty looking pardons you guys posted but I got a couple. The pics from the forums have definitely influenced me to get a few of these so I think It’ll do. 
Re: Rock My Ride
Further research has me leaning towards keeping the Goldwing. Higher compression on the Indian means premium fuel is necessary rather than optional as on the 'Wing. The Indian has a couple more HP and a couple more lbs torque, but it also has about 80 lbs more weight, which brings me to this: no reverse gear. The Goldwing is ~840 lbs, the Indian is ~930 lbs, the 'Wing has reverse gear which has proven its worth many times over.
The Indian sure is a pretty bike. Sits a little lower, lots of nice shiny stuff, holds a little more, and has really nice floorboards, too. If I'd ridden one of those I'd have never made it to the Honda dealer. I'm too old and have too many rebuilt or prosthetic parts to be pushing 930 lbs around with only my remaining muscles and what's left of my cartilage.
Looks like I keep flying the 'Wing.
