But Mommie! Look!
I went down to the bike shop and had a fit sit on a Black 2014 Honda CB1100.
It's got the black-out paint scheme which reduces shine time and increases riding time. 🙂
Love black on motorcycles, cars and trucks and big rigs.
Yes, they get dirty quick but oh boy, how they reflect and shine—

I love how casual It looks for a bike that has some serious performance behind it.Blacked out is where its at, makes it look more serious and almost seductive it makes you want to ride.

Oh yes... INDIAN MOTORCYCLE!
The latest entry into the Retro-Modern class of motorcycles
Established 1901, the brand is older than Harley-Davidson. The originals, were very revolutionary in their years and have a cult following that Harley could only dream of. However due to poor management the company folded after WWII in the early '50s. Ironically, Indian was not only a victim of poor management, but also a victim of postwar military Harley post-war surplus. Across the decades since the original company folded, ownership of the name
and it's rights had changed hands with recent attempts to revival of the Indian which proved a failure.
Today, however, a new story may unfold and the Indian will rise again (not to sound like a prophet), and thrive
in the 21st century as Harley Davidson had in the 20th. The company that owns the brand is quite successful in
it's own right with reputably reliable products. - Indian may well make it this time.
For those who don't know, Jay Leno, the Tonight Show's recently retired host, is also known to
vintage and antique automotive, motorcycle and steam engine enthusiasts as being quite the
man's man with those interests. Beside his humor, he has a huge passion for the old and
if anyone would know his motorcycles, he certainly would be among the knowledgeable, with....
an AWESOME collection to prove it. He DEFINITELY KNOWS his Indians. 😉
Certainly sounds like a product worthy of my attention and possibly money after the bugs have
been worked out.
Will be keeping an out for what good/bad issues this new Indian develops.
🙂
I know this much HD and Harley-Owners aren't ALL that happy about this Indian.
Perhaps.... they have a hidden fear.
Who knows... we'll just have to wait and see. 😉
I've had my eye on Ridley. Short enough for the height challenged, like me, plus it's automatic and I hate shifting. Maybe I wouldn't tip the thing over on myself....maybe. lol
I dunno anything about bikes and didn't read the banter between you Men on all the details of each one of these bikes BUT.... the Dukati, with the Red. That's the bike right there. It isn't a Harley, mind you, but the Dukati 'll do.
😄
Fixed, I like all of his posted motorcycle candy, but most are too tall and I can't reach the ground while sitting....like there's a good 6" between my foot and the ground. It's part of why I tip them over on myself. I need a short, girly bike. lol
See? Goes to show you how much I know about Motorbikes.
I prefer four wheels and lottsa mud.
My version has 4 legs. 😄

If you can ride a beach cruiser, you should be able to ride one of these.
Yes, that's what I said a little earlier, I want a Ridley. They stopped making them in 2009, but plenty used still on the market. I'm on the fence on color. I want black, but I also want ice or sea blue.

Black is ALWAYS a safe color. any color other than black or white can be hard to color-match blemished paint (scratch)
occur.

True. I guess it could be black with small details in blue.
