Indian Springfield

[Nortoon_imp]

If I could afford the Indian I would not wish to sell my CB. Far as weight goes it wouldn't be more difficult to push around than my 740 lb, top heavy ST1300 was.
A passing fancy no doubt that will soon fade.

Is this you, redbirds?



By the way, the price here is north of $33K Australian. More than twice the price of a CB1100 assuming one could buy a new one.

Could be but I would go for a far better helmet than that pudding bowl.

Here you wouldn't be accepted by the cruiser crowds unless everything you wear, other than blue jeans, is black. Pudding bowls are mandatory for riding Harleys. You can get away with an open face helmet as long as it is black and your cruiser is something other than a Harley.

Dems da rules.

Dems da rules. Where in Canada are you?

Although I suspect it is the same all over - I lived in the Ottawa valley for 20 years before moving back to NB and it is exactly as you say in both provinces.

I've never been one to adhere to expected stereotypes and have been wearing a modular helmet on my '03 HD Night Train for years now. It just makes sense, if nothing else for bad weather. I also don't hang out at Tim Horton's looking at my bike in the parking lot.

The Indian is a nice looking bike and I'm sure it's well made, just too big and bulky for me.

I am in Ottawa. I live in a suburb called Stonebridge in the southwest part of the city. Where in the valley did you live?

I use to hang around a donut shop with my bike buddies in my twenties. We were quite content to sit there right after supper until almost midnight talking bikes. The only two days that were different were Friday and Saturday when a party was on.

I really didn't make any long trips until I joined the Ottawa Valley Touring Club in 1980. Bought an Aspencade Goldwing in 1982 when I became President of the club. Penny and I did a lot of travelling on the wing. Our longest trip was a Goldwing rally in Lake of the Ozarks west of St. Louis.

Now I stop for lunch at Tim Horton's if there are no suitable restaurants around. May also stop for an ice coffee and maple donut late in the afternoon on a hot summer's day.
