    Indian Motorcycle Invents the Dyna LOL

    I know cruisers are hated here but I just love this. Some have mid controls and mid controls are available. Lots of tech in these, the speedo has navigation built into it. This is where the hole in the Indian lineup was. For me I like the style and happy to see these new models...

    Man I'm really digging this bike. What do you guys think? Talk about style, it's got it in spades. If I didn't love my Indian Springfield so much I would definitely be thinking about this one. https://www.motorcycle.com/mini-features/2021-bmw-r18-first-look.html

    Are Motorcycles as Viable Transportation Dead?

    It seems that the motorcycle industry in the U.S is shrinking. Young people are no longer starting to ride. Cars are becoming almost automatic. They self park, have warning systems, air bags and emergency brake on their own. Motorcycling remains a risky way to travel. I see very few people...

    2018 Indian Scout Bobber

    Well it's just another variation of the Indian Scout but it looks cool. While it still doesn't have mid controls the pegs have been moved back a bit along with the handlebars.
