Indian Chieftain Demo Ride

[Sin City Stan]

There is a local Indian demo ride program here this weekend. After reading all the comments it looks like this bike would not fit me. Guess I'll go to Death Valley instead. Pictures to follow.

Second of all; I was always told it isn't the machine; but rather the operator who makes the difference when it is all done and said. So, if you think "juicing-up" your Vic is going to help you out, you just go ahead and do it. We'll see ya in the review mirrors buddy. I'll lose you in the first corner.

Of course, that might be easy on a narrow two-lane road when I am leading.

All I am doing to my Vic is fine tuning an already great running bike. We'll see in May how much difference the rider makes.
Speaking of May, what's up with the Hotel situation?

I am sure it will only make it better. I did that to my last Ultra, but this time I believe I'll leave the new one alone -- at least for a while. It already has far more power than my old one did; so what it offers will suffice for now. Besides, I can only go so fast around those corners with my wife on the back.

Regarding the hotel rooms; I promise I will have it done this weekend. I have been a bit busy, unfortunately; but have not forgot. We are not too late yet, but I will get it done anyway.

I'll tell you though, the hotels in that area must think they are in Minneapolis or Chicago with their pricing. Geez...

Will Ray need a Jacuzzi, sauna, or some other high-end luxury for his room; or can he tough-it-out this time and just have normal room?

When you are making sparks you know that you are going fast enough

I sure do hope that Ray can make it this time, I know that he will have a blast on the twisties.

Get a hold of him and see if he is going to commit to the weekend... otherwise, we might make a few changes that we can talk about.

I hope Ray can come though, because I would want to show him some of the roads we have found over the last two years in that area. Once he rides them he can get there on his own from Chicago if he ever has a free weekend to ramble.

You wouldn't last on the roads we ride and at the speeds we take them at. You can talk a big story, but at the end of the day, we would be turning around to pick-up your sorry, sobbing ass huddled in fear along the roadside!
