Mrs. Gone and I just returned from a driving vacation to visit the family in New Mexico. We love the little town of Madrid just outside of Santa Fe, and stopped for lunch. It's an artist community, and a bit of a tourist trap, and a big motorcycle destination on the weekends - filming a scene from the movie Wild Hogs probably helped that, and it was like the Rock Store in Malibu when we were enjoying the local cuisine last Sunday.
Watching the bikes rumble by, I spotted a few new Sportster S bikes pull up and park nearby. I hadn't seen one yet, so I took a look. They're definitely going after the Indian FTR, of which there were a few as well in the herds that were parked in front of the local bar. Overall, I think I like the Sportster a bit more on looks, though the ergos look like they'd be a bit more comfortable on the FTR.
