2013 Indian Motorcycles

So 2013 See's the re-launch of Indian motorcycles now owned and manufactured by Polaris (snow mobile experts and also the parent company of Victory) The new Chief looks quite nice but the Chieftain with its USS Enterprise front fairing leaves me cold I'm afraid.
I don't know if the folks across at Harley will be overly worried by the latest competition as they have range of motorcycles which is much larger and suits a variety of deep pockets, I think the owner's are quite loyal to the brand but time will tell and Indian already has its own clothing range waiting in the wings to dress out there followers along with the usual accessories to make your bike an individual well as individual as the next guy who flexes his cheque book in the factory catalogue.

1948 Indian Chief

With all the hype of the new Indian being released at Sturgis I thought it would be nice to show of an original.

For sale at Parker Indian for AUD$24,000 ONO, I think it's worth every penny.

Tummel Trundle

Rode across to Perthshire to take a look at the scmcc club run, big attendance and a lot of lovely bikes on display, sadly the Sportster didn't make it as I had a slow puncture that turned out to be so slow that Glaziers move quicker! but I wasn't taking any risks with the front tyre.
