Title: Not sure if I should even be on here?
Post by: Druid on June 04, 2018, 07:52:25 PM
So as you no know I purchased an Indian, very nice it is too.

But after a brekky run with a mate, I ended up trading in my XSR700 and getting this to compliment the Indian.

So any interest I have in being a sports bike rider has disappeared. Just gotta accept that my body isn't suited anymore and keep riding what i can.
Please don't make me join a HOG Forum. Please.

Stick around Dru but I can't help thinking you have bought the biking equivalent of a Ford Focus and a Vauxhall Astra to compliment each other  :rofl:

Stay around...ride what suits you...they look fun...I'd make space for them in my Lotto Win garage.

After the deluge of responses and PM's I'm going to stay. :azn:
Moz- you may well be correct but Mondeo/Vectra please.
Alzo- A 5 plus bonus ball win surely, not the biggie?

Enough that I could send the Missus abroad for ever and leave me to purchase loads of Motorcycles.

Not tempted by a totally different bike to keep the Indian company (what I meant by my quip but I think you got that)!?!?

I really like those new Scout Bobbers.
I've still got a hankering for a Blue and white Victory Judge.
Fast bikes are done in this country.  They've had their day.

I did have the XSR700 but every time I went to the garage I'd pick the Bobber. Was only using it for the odd commute to work. The sensible thing to do would have been to sell it but who does sensible when it comes to bike purchases. 😄

Neither would be my choice (then again have never ridden anything like them) however they look nice and if you like em what's the issue enjoy them both.

I suppose I should ask the same question as I haven't had a Ninja since 2013 and currently have 2 Triumphs  :azn:

Not so keen on the second one, but the Indian looks fantastic  :afro: :moto:

anybody who doubts the cruisers , go test ride an 2018 HD FATBOB and your see them in a complete different light

Each to their own...nobody needs to justify their choice in bikes. Be yourself.
