    Polaris Industries to Buy Ducati?

    It looks like Polaris Industries is throwing their hat in on the Ducati bidding. It wouldn't shock me if they did buy Ducati. https://rideapart.com/articles/yet-another-rumor-ducatis-future-ownership

    The Analyists are Wrong About Why Miienials Don't Buy Harleys

    It seems they just don't care about heritage any more. HD is a luxury brand disguised as being blue collar. http://www.thedrive.com/opinion/12489/analysts-are-wrong-about-why-millenials-arent-buying-harleys

    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. I wonder how it stacks up against the Triumph Bobber? I'm going to wait for the street version of the FTR 750 before I...

    Could it Be?

    A street version of the Indian 750 flat tracker? I hope so, it doesn't sound like a regular Scout. Hopefully Polaris won't disappoint with another new cruiser. Time for some different models yo :banana https://www.facebook.com/indianmotorcycle/videos/10155537152054028/

    Would You Buy?

    I was just thinking about how I would feel about a motorcycle that someone had a fatal accident on. Imagine you saw a motorcycle that was relatively unscathed after an accident that the owner died on. Would you consider buying it or not. This is purely hypothetical. I'm not sure if I would or...

    I am Still VicTim

    I was very disappointed when Polaris announced they would be discontinuing the Victory brand. I felt Victory had a great product and offered stuff the other manufacturers didn't. I read something a few years ago about brand strength and recognition, Victory didn't have it. I accept that and now...

    Megans Law and Facebook

    I have an out of state acquaintance, in Missouri that's been making asshole comments to my facebook posts. I got a new bike and he's saying he wouldn't be caught dead on a Honda that he's an "American" and rides Harley. I have a picture of me in a bar and he says I shouldn't be there (I have 30...

    Las Vegas Raiders

    What's your take on it. Personally I like it. It has a good sound to it much better than LA Raiders. If they have to go I think Las Vegas is perfect. Oakland should use their monies to improve schools, hire police and fix the roads and not build 100 million dollar stadiums.

    I'm Gonna Get a Second Bike

    First off I want to say I love my bike, she's a keeper and staying in my garage for a long time to come. She's pretty, rides two up with confidence and ease, comfortable and versatile (she can do it all within reason). I wish I didn't have to work so hard in the summer, I really want to tour...
