Yes, very much so...riding, or not riding, literally changes me, I can feel it and so can those around me. I cannot imagine life without riding.

Sore point for me is the miserable feet forward riding position and very limited rear suspension travel. Appeared to be well made and is a far better bike than a Sportster IMO.
Indian is due to release a new model in a couple of weeks at Daytona. The rumor mill says that it's a very sporty Scout with a much more standard riding position. Not that this rumor means anything as other rumors have stated that it's a mini-touring Scout bagger...Who knows? A 120 hp Scout with a CB riding position would be cool but both attempts by Harley (Street Rod) and Victory (Hammer) were essentially sales flops.
