Veteran-Photographer-Motovlogger-Videographer- Motorcycle enthusiast. Welcome to the channel on here we'll talk about everything motorcycle & photography related. I ride a 2021 Indian Roadmaster Dark Horse, white smoke and I shoot on a Sony A6000, Gopro Hero 7&8 black. As I travel in and around Tampa Bay, come along and see all the history, and experience the rich culture that the city has to offer. I'll also bring you along as I travel throughout the U-S-of A in support of Veterans helping Veterans, one mile at a time. I hope you enjoy the channel and let me know what kind of videos you would like to see.
I have 5000 miles on my roadmaster. I love it. I've owned a road king and vtx. You missed the mono-shock. Making it a phenomenally better ride. The bad: try getting warranty work done before praising it. No dealers in Montana or Wyoming. Two of the best ride states. Very hot under my left thigh.
Back in 2020 (Covid time) I bought my 2020 Roadmaster from Route 66 (iMotorsports) in Chicago. Their salesmen aren't on a commission, so you aren't "taking food out of their mouths" by getting a GOOD deal. My wife wanted a FULL remodel of our kitchen, so my oldest and I took it down to the studs and rebuilt it (took almost a full year, with me only working on it on weekends). When we were nearing the end, she said to me, "Since you're giving me my Dream Kitchen, you can get your Dream Motorcycle." I hadn't been on a bike since we started having kids - I had a VERY close encounter, and wanted to make sure I was around to raise my boys. I figured she'd balk at the prices. I would have been contented on a Springfield, but at $20K I thought she'd freak, so when we went to the dealership, and she asked what I was thinking, I pointed at the "Big Dog" - she checked the price (a bit over $30K), and before I countered that I'd "settle" for the Springfield, she told me to "Go Ahead - I said your Dream Bike". Since the salesmen aren't on commission, we kept going back and forth for 5 HOURS (1/2 hour after their "official" closing time). He'd think of another "perk" to tell his manager I wanted. The 1,000,000 mile warranty covers: Engine, Transmission & Wheel Bearings, I believe. I also got 10% off parts and accessories for life. Lifetime battery replacement. Wheel replacement if one gets bent. 8 oil changes. The lifetime Ceramic coating (the bugs DON'T stick). And plenty more I can't even remember off the top of my head. The MSRP was $31,750 - I got it Out The Door (with all of these "extras"), along with Tax, title, dealer-prep - EVERYTHING for $32,800. At the end, the salesman said I could pick it up on Wednesday - My wife said, "NO! He's riding it home TODAY!". Since the Ceramic coating takes a day to dry, on my 500 mile service, I received a free detail, before the coating could be applied.
I had been riding a Metric bagger for the last 15 years, always hoping to move up to an American dresser to make my wife more comfortable on the back. This past August I was able to purchase a used Roadmaster, and man, I wish I would have made the purchase sooner!!! I love the Roadmaster; it is so comfortable, so stable and yet a beast when you turn the throttle...it is an absolute pleasure to ride. I had looked at HDs, but the Indian just won my heart and it's not like what everyone else rides. She's unique, and so much more than I could have expected.
Love that, I’ve got 21k miles and she’s still handling like I just rolled it off the showroom. And all the comforts of the bike make it the ultimate riding machine! Safe travels my friend. Thanks for checking out the video!
Might just be me, but I got a chuckle out of how you said you had 10 mins before your appointment and had to get going… then rode the bike 100 yards to your appointment. 😂😂😂 that made me smile
We must take care of the total multidimensional person that we all are. Too often we focus so much on one aspect of our lives and forget the rest of what makes us unique and special.
I heard you giving advice stating the best photo shots are an hour before sunset and an hour after sunrise. Are you concerned with the sunlight being to the photographer's back? Thanks for the great content and showing love for an awesome motorcycle!
Motor, transmission and electronics. Doesn’t cover wearable items like brakes and tires. It’s specific to the dealership I bought it from. imotorsports
Great video Mo...here's my reasons to buy a K1600B...1. Cost - $30k vs $40 for Indian or $50 for CVO 2. Power...nobody even comes close. 3. Weight...K is 200 pounds lighter. 4. Reverse gear - what...a reverse? 5. Adaptive and rider selective suspension and throttle/power control. 6. 10.25 inch display...tells you everything about the bike including oil level. 7. Center stand 8. One hole vs 3 hole (HD)...not sure how many holes the Indian has...but one hole, one oil. 9. Greater value... 10. Made in Germany...we all know about German made vehicle/motorcycles. Still a good video though...ride safe. Oh, your helmet - made in Italy I bet...just saying.
I believe in time they will, when Polaris relaunched the brand they did it right. Honestly in my opinion it's a superior machine, and people need to see it for themselves. With Harley Davidson launching their new lineup it's giving them a run for there money for sure. Thanks for checking out the video.
I own a Roadmaster 2018 when my wife and I were looking we tried every brand and when it came to the Roadmaster she said buy this bike or I’m gone. Twisted my arm for a in the crate bike vs a show room bike we have loved it ever since.
Been riding Japanese cruisers since 1981. Thought about buying and looked an many HDs over years. But could never get over handle bars that shake like a major earthquake hit, and I'm not really into the whole Harley "culture". Purchased my Indian Super Chief Limited with stage 2 performance upgrade and Lloydz tune a month ago. I am fully a member of the tribe. Best bike I've ever owned or ridden. Enjoy, ride safe.
@@nick_mophotos thx you , one thing I’ve learned to appreciate about our community is we all work together for a common goal , if I can help you in anyway please let me know … other combat vets helped me when I first started YT isn’t as easy as just picking up the camera … titles thumbnails etc are so crucial to reach the audience
Indian Motorcycles have changed the game in design and overall reliability. I also love the look of the challenger, it’s a mean looking bike. Thanks for checking out the video and for the comment!
@@nick_mophotos the designs of their larger bikes I find very appealing, the scount has a weird exhaust and styling to me, but I think the same for the futuristic design of the new sporty too. I’m still a bit on the soft spot for my 90s fxd. Looking heavily at the challenger though not going to lie. Gunna watch more.
