I rode one (Can spam) at Maxx Pitts Monkeyman. Salesman wanted me to ride so I could tell him what I thought of it. Insisted. Felt like a snowmobile on wheels to me. No likey at all.
I told Him straight. Maybe someday when I can't hold the voyager up. NaHHHH.

You're not the first to comment like that on how they handle.

+1 . . . Looks like a toaster on wheels . . . and I could replace my Voyager with a new one and get a nicely equipped new KLR-650 for under- maintained road touring and still have about 9K left for mods and gas on both bikes for the price of the two wheeled toaster . . .

But that's just my opinion . . .

I am seeing one of these in My very near future. The voyager is a great bike that I love, but, that Indian is sure a sweet one.

If you and your wife like it and can afford it....buy it. Oh what a boring life one would live if he/she only purchased things that were practical and made sense.

BUY IT AND ENJOY IT!

Thanks for encouraging words John. Kinda like when new couples, young, wait till they can afford to have children. Hell, You can never afford children without some sacrifices. My kids always came first. They were raised and then I got back into bikes and trips. I will slide into the grave the way i came into this world. Naked and broke. LOL

Don't let my words bring you down . . . that is what makes the world an interesting place to live . . . I have a hell of a lot more respect for a guy who says "Fuggit . . . I LIKE it and the rest of y'all can GFY!" because that's what the rider spirit is all about . . . Being yourself . . . If it makes you and your lady happy . . . its a no brainer . . . like me . . .

Yes Tim, we understand you lived thru the Great Depression and are a penny pincher.

Do you consider the HD Tri Glide as a motorcycle? Harley riders do.

They are all cruisers, meaning in the original context, form over function mentality.

And a real trike, not bass-ackwards like the canned spam snowmobile. sorry Monkeyman. No offfence intended. Just my smartass personality that comes out at times.

All the post got My little mind thinking. I want a new Indian roadmaster. Ponch is on a beamer. Blown dodge loves His victory. Trip is loving his goldwing. I know there are fellas here (Cactusjack) on Harleys.
I know some here on on the vulcan forums on the rocketIII. Can Ams. Old, New, slow fast. Crotchies. baggers, dressers, trikes.
We are all here for the same reason. to have the wind in our faces and to enjoy this gorgeous country the best way I know.
Ride on Brothers and Sisters, and keep on visiting Vulcan baggers and sharing.
Shep.

We all love riding with the wind in our face. Many of us started here with the Nomad when this was KawaNow and other Kawasaki models when it changed to VBA. Some have moved on to other brands as their needs/tastes have changed. We stay here because of the friendships we have developed and our overall enjoyment of motorcycles.

Don't let blowndodge fool you as he still cries when he sees his old Nomad.
