@@AP-vv1yu Nah, I did for another sale. If people watch my channel and go to the dealership mentioning my name as a reference, I would get like a gift card or something.
Motorcycles are such a personal thing. When riders pick out a new bike and choose the color, there is no wrong answer. When I bought my '16 Scout it came in Black, Grey, White and Indian Red. I wanted ABS so I got the red. When I ride with the local chapter, I am the only bike there that isn't black. I need some colors in my life. I like the fact that your crew go for all these different colors. They are like skittles. RIDE THE RAINBOW!
I love my M109R for that reason. I had a guy that wanted to paint it and take my stripe off. Of course I told him I like the stripe but it's definitely a personal thing. 👌😎
Everyone keeps saying that the new Limited looks like a Harley, but that sweeping one-eyed fairing was used much more often on Victory's. Gorgeous bike!
Got a 2017 Chieftain Limited in the same color. I absolutely love it. Waiting for my Lloyd’z cams to come in. Not like I could ride it with all the snow. So you got to keep making vids so I could make it through.
Sitting on that ramp like that may help him get used to pulling wheelies. Never been a big fan of the flat paint thing, but that black on white with a touch of silver looks great. One of the better modern OEM paint jobs out now to my eye.
Yeeeah, it gets dirty incredibly easy. If you breathe on it, it's dirty. Looks great in the light, though. He's probably gonna get it coated with something to help with that.
This one is sweet. Identical to the one on my bucket list. Then they’ll be another one in Alabama 😎. I wonder if a ceramic coating would work on the flat paint. That could help with keeping it clean....maybe...
According to Matt Laidlaw, the flat paints do have a clear coat on them, it's just not glossy. It would probably work, but might make that flat clear glossier looking.
I don't have trouble since the back end is lower due to the ramp decline. Only go up as high as needed. To high could be an issue especially if you can't flat foot both feet. But since I normally have other riders around, they always lend a hand while backing it down the ramp. That is a beautiful bike he has there.
Just rode across Australia on my Road King and whilst I enjoyed it I wouldn't turn around and go back straightaway on it but that new Indian Chieftain could tempt me easily. I hope he has the time of his life on that thing.
To stop trailer scrape, once the rear tire is on the down ramp, slide a 1-2" inclined board under the front tire. This will elevate the bike up enough to clear the ramp transition
Congrats to your uncle. Sweet bike. I love my '17 Chieftain Ltd. Pretty envious right now of that weather. down there.......we're looking at 4 more months of cold and snow.
@@BrandonBicasso up here a 50 degree day this time of year is a gift and I try very hard not to ignore that. This Sunday up here is supposed to be 60+ by 1:00 Pm and you can bet your Uncle's Indian I'll be out riding! Keep the rubber side down always, and enjoy the freedom.
Your uncle seems like a cool dude. I thought he was just one of your buddies, he has a young appearance. :) Also nice to see this Indian has more than a bow and arrow to defend himself. ;)
Man, y'all got some fine, BIG bikes among you! I'm looking at a Boulevard as a second bike...can pick it up from my mechanic for a song...and he's done what work has been done on the bike. Could be a great second ride!
Boulevards are great bikes simply from their reliability. I'd never stop recommending a Boulevard. Mine has survived several bikes in my stable. Nothing I've owned has been able to take that itch I have for it. The Scout came close, though.
Hey BB... Glad to see you still making videos. How long before you're back on two wheels? Take your time and don't rush it. You need those hands in good condition to ride. BTW... The M109 still looks great. All the best Bro.
Mhmm, I'm thinking maybe a month or so. I'm waiting on the right gear. Hands got a few more weeks to get where I'll feel comfortable riding a good distance. 👌😎
You may only need 1/2" - 3/4" lift of the front. Another solution would be to raise the trailer tail end an inch off the ground. Just enough to let the skid plate on bottom of bike clear
You are the only one still riding the scout bro, leonore got a chieftain and now your uncle got one too...i think its time you thought about upgrading your ride...👍👍👍
Holla back on the reply.Thank you.Currently i am the owner of uh 2018 Olive Gold Road King Special.I am absolutely in love with the Bronze color of the Chieftain Limited Darkhorse!
Eh, the back maybe, but after seeing both side by side today I think the Indian looks better. Maybe the Street Glide Special, but I prefer the look of the Indian.
How are the hands healing? I got hit by a 4WD 5 months back on my xsr900, your videos are really getting me through. I'll be getting a scout bobber when I can ride again. Cheers for the content.
Loading and unloading the big bikes is always sketchy. The Indian is nice for sure but I prefer the M109 due to lack of extraneous BS and the Shelby paint scheme is timeless.
Yeah, luckily he had the height to keep it balanced. I love the stripe set up on the 109. Looks more basic to me without it. Probably why Suzuki has only done the stripe for the last 8 years at least.
@@BrandonBicasso I've read on the Indian owners forum that the paint on the Indian , Dark Horse bikes has VERY THIN paint and chips very easy when small rocks hit the fenders on the road. The paint on the Dark Horse bikes also scratches very easy too.
2 down 1 to go. Congratulations on your uncle new Indian dark horse or should I say dark white horse. Lol. Are you also trying to tell us something with your Suzuki boulevard? Wink wink?
Weird that they call it a dark horse and it's white, right? Lol. Also, not sure. My Blvd has survived many bikes in my garage so it may stay even with a new addition.
It is like the Wild West around your area, you are surrounded by Indians. On a serious note... do any of the people who traded in a Victory Magnum regret getting rid of their Vics?
@@BrandonBicasso Not pearl metal flake, but white pearlescent paint with clear gloss sprayed over the white pearlescent paint. The Indian Elite model that I test rode with the 116 inch engine, had black, pearlescent paint on the gas tank and fenders.
@@BrandonBicasso yes, That's a good thing. I have the 16 chieftain. Here it is. Absolutely love it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OUsNTGPYag4.html
That pearl white sure is nice. I like the victory magnum but ever since you did the test ride video got me thinking of giving Indian a call or stick with the Yamaha.
Nah the day Indian was in town I had to go out of town so I miss my chance but I’m in Columbus oh riding season on hiatus right now. Jealous of you warm weather states😁😁😁
Lol there are a few nuts here that I have seen. I like riding but not that much even if I had the gear. Honestly the more I look at them they still look like a magnum
I was just gonna say.Only if you could see it fam.The videos and pictures on You Tube just don't do it the justice.Never rode before.I go out and purchase uh $25,000.00 Touring bike.😂(Last year May 2018)
It's almost like victory took ten steps backwards and changed their name to Indian ohhhh wait that's exactly what happened and guess what still selling the same amount as victory smh ...
@@BrandonBicasso hey I'd rather ride either rather than a Harley but I was just in a position to get a new bike and guess what I opted for the 2017 victory magnum instead of a Chieftain and I get more attention love and have way more fun than anyone on a Harley either way Indian or victory both amazing bikes
Oh man!!!!!!! Unsubscribing at this point........... lol. J/k. That thing is awesome! Hope you are healing well. You could have one just like it soon!! Little side note, I know not everyone is a fan and I wasn't either for a long time but I wish you could get the big gaudy deep dish front fender on that bike, They grew on me B, They grew on me.......
@@BrandonBicasso I really do enjoy my scout. If something were to happen and I get an opportunity to maybe replace it, I would ride everything I could find. As much as I do love Indian I wouldn't care what brand it was if I loved it. My biggest problem is now that I have owned a scout I would probably buy something I have never had lol. Love that Chieftain.
@@BrandonBicasso I would think the opposite hauling a trailer but it's a good looking bike good luck with her ! Been riding HD and customs that I built for 32 years and if I bought a new bike I would also go with Indian HD is going down hill I believe Indian will take over......
Nah, the Gent that rides the orange Victory went with him. He rode it back about 80 miles before calling it quits. Then one of the trailer tires blew out which is why it's sitting on the trailer. Heck of a trip back, lol. I was at work while this all happened so I missed the fun. Also, while it's looking bleak for HD, I think it's an exciting time for them. They're creating some wild stuff while keeping the traditional creations there. What do you think?
@@BrandonBicasso yeah what a trip I would have freaked out on the tire blowing ! I really don't like the new HDs I think some of the new ones are ugly . It's not just the bikes the new CEO don't even ride ? It used to be all about American made and now that's gone . The last time I went to a stealership it was more suits and business type people working there no bikers like it used to be most all won't even look at a shovel head or earlier modles now it's plug in a computer . I will never get a bike with EFI I have a carb and always will I can build my evo engine and anything else on it . Alot of us older riders feel the same.....oh by the way the orange victory was bad ass love that bike
Oh, wow! Yeah, I grew up in the tech age so of course I'm all for the electronics. I do want to one day have enough space or money to buy a carb bike and rebuild something. I like to get my hands dirty, but don't have the space. I bought a Gsx-r a few years ago and got it back to running condition. I knew what was wrong with it and fix everything down to the fuel rails. I couldn't get to them and had to take it to the shop to get it cleaned. Tank rusted out along with the fuel pump so trash was all throughout the lines.
