Sylvester Posted January 6, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 6, 2010 A very good friend asked me to ride his brand new Vintage Chief from the dealer to his house. He is recuperating from a leg ingury. He already has three bikes (2005 Triumph Bonneville, 2009 Harley Ultra and a 2006 Venture. This was a treat for me, and the bike is awesome. The color light green and cream with distressed leather seat and saddle bags looked great. The twenty mile trip in the cold could have been better, but I survived and it is a great machine.

TDunc Posted January 7, 2010 Share #5 Posted January 7, 2010 Wow, cool to let you be the one to ride it. I was just in the Lowel dealership two weeks ago and drooled all over the yellow and cream one, distressed bags and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yama Mama Posted January 7, 2010 Share #6 Posted January 7, 2010 When Moped and I were in Sturgis this past August these are some of the Indians we saw. I have always loved the look of them. I bet it was cool to ride one too. Yama Mama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvester Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share #7 Posted January 7, 2010 Your fourth picture is the same color bike I rode, Yama Mama. I have pictures but I haven't downloaded them yet since I can't find my data cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yama Mama Posted January 8, 2010 Share #8 Posted January 8, 2010 Your fourth picture is the same color bike I rode, Yama Mama. I have pictures but I haven't downloaded them yet since I can't find my data cable. I thought by your description that it might be the same one. I love that one.

Sylvester Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share #10 Posted January 8, 2010 All the new Indian motorcycles have a 105 CI engine. This is not a proprietory engine but made by Indian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigatcsi Posted January 8, 2010 Share #11 Posted January 8, 2010 I don't think it's fair that he has FOUR bikes and I only have ONE!! He should 'share' his good fortune by giving one to me, (the less fortunate). I choose the Indian. craigr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zfrebird4 Posted January 14, 2010 Share #13 Posted January 14, 2010 My dad in the early 20's road a red Indian, and it was on that bike that he met Mom. Somehow he talked her into marriage a year or two later. He told stories of riding it on the dirt road of the Indiana riverbottoms NE of Princeton, Inc., ... and one of getting in a rut and loosing it. He never could lift it up, except that one time ... when he fell on the right with the exhaust on his leg! And even at 86 with the early stages of Parkinson's ... he road a 650 new Yamaha, ... but decided it was no longer his time to ride. Good memories! And I have a friend in Cinni, and if I can make it out there on Zfrebird this summer, I'll look you guys up for fun. I'll EM for location info if the trip pans out and this YOUNG almost 71 thinks he can make the ride on Squidley's 86 VR that Lonna let him sell me! LOL. JackZ And here's what I'll be riding when I can't be on two wheels on the road; I'll Adobe Photoshop myself in the seat ... if Dan thinks that's ok: Course for now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
