And why are used prices looking the same as new at Ray Price? School me.

Bought one new 30 years ago. I think I want an old man glide now with a windshield and bags. lol
But I won't be "traveling", just cruising.

No, that happened in 1999 when I bought two Stratocasters and a couple of amps.

I just like the sound of wind and internal combustion.

So...you're just having trouble making up your mind, huh?!
 
Forget the Harley and go Indian. The Harley that I have will be my last bike. If I wanted another, it would be Indian, no question about it.

Coming from you that is a testimony. I think I have seen exactly two out on the road, which to me is great. I guess I need to find a dealer so I can go eyeball one up close.
 
A lot more for your dollar, too.
 
Dealership is across town. Of course.

Here's one the right color. I don't care what color my hotrods and motorcycles are, as long as it's red.

@trcubed The dealership is close to your work domicile. Let me know a good day and we'll get some lunch and go drool on a few of these.

Edit: Oops. Close to your previous work domicile.

Any day but Wednesday or Thursday next week.

ETA: You talking about Garcia? That's a lot closer to the house than work. Friday afternoon would be better.

Yep. That's the one. Had a brain fart and forgot you changed work zip codes.

Can you boys weigh in on the quality of the current bikes? I just don't know anything about them except I think they look outstanding, and I used to wear an Indian motorcycles tee shirt 35 years ago.
 
Love my Street Glide. I've several different bikes over the years including metrics. I won't talk bad any of them, the Street Glide has been my favorite.

My preference is a glide. Looking for one now. Gonna keep the soft tail for in town cruising. Glide for longer trips. Really good friend of mine has a RK I ride from time to time, and my uncle has a SG. I prefer the SG over the RK. It all comes down to personal preference kinda like the age ole 9mm or 45 debate.
 
My buddy has a 2009 RK, 2015 Yamaha FJR1300 and a 2016 Road Glide CVO. He rides the Yamaha 90% of the time.
 
Ditch everything and go VMAX.:D
 
Never liked those big Indian fenders. Look at used bikes, it's still a buyers market out there, lots of low mile garage queens out there. I've heard of a few issues with frame cracks in the neck area on the new Indians, aluminum frames.

This is good to know. Thanks.
 
Look for an old Goldwing with low mileage to get the best bang for your buck. Like the 87 1200 with 11K on it in my garage that I never ride anymore.

For the old men in the room it translates to badass cruiser.

I know nothing about the Indians other than they looks sweet.

I do love my street glide, but I pretty much love all of them. Make you an awesome deal on Sherry's 1200 low so you can eat your knees while trying to ride around town looking like a bigass gorilla with a roller skate his its butt.
