After a long time considering my options, I decided on a new Scout Bobber Twenty a couple of weeks ago - my close second was a Harley Fat Bob but I compromised and bought the indian bike but kept the harley jacket. This is my first non-sports bike so I'm still getting used to the limits of leaning and the power curve of a v twin - not to mention comfort compared to a sports bike! I've been cruising (pun intended) through the threads for a while now and thought it might be time...

I am new here, I own a scout, and I love it. We have racked up about 10,000km of adventures together, with many more to come.

I have only done one upgrade, being the seat to a mustang seat, to add more comfort, but other then that I am aiming to keep it fairly much stock, except for the stage one kit I got on it when I bought it.

I mainly ride around the Central west or Blue Mountains area of NSW, but occasionally adventure a little further. If you are in these areas look out for...

Bought myself an Indian FTR1200S at the end of October, signed up to the Owners Group and just found this forum today haha.

Absolutely loving the FTR, my previous bike was a Honda Hornet 600 naked bike and the FTR is brilliant.

Not sure how many FTR owners there are on the forum, but here i am ...

It's nimble enough to be an awesome daily commuter but frankly I take any chance I can get to ride her.

Just found out about Silverton 2020 and spewing I won't be in the country to join in.

Although it still goes like the clappers, I sadly no longer can on a sports bike. My back and hands were giving out on relatively short rides, so I’ve finally joined the mobile couch brigade . My first cruiser is this lovely chief dark horse. Stage one pipes and three cams, still deciding on the size of the windscreen so testing a couple and will pick later. Still awaiting the matching red backrest for the misses. Love it and...

Just picked up my Willow Green Chief Vintage yesterday from Antique Motor Cycles

Is a brand new bike 2019 model

Have come off a Honda Shadow VT750 which at the time I thought was a good bike however after now being on the Indian, the Shadow was like riding a postie bike

Just stopped by to introduce and put my post count up.

Hello.

Rode mini bikes, then an Agricultural suzie 100cc job on dirt, then a TY 250 R Yam on dirt, then a Suzie RM370 motocrosser. Been a bit, but I'm headed back at the cycles now, I have a full car licence so there'll be rider L's then a rider check wotsit, and finally dual License before the bike owner thing happens. My plan is Indian Scout, because water-cooled V-twin, has good aftermarket support, plus its a classic looking...
