Adios....for now
How was your Indian Challenger? I just watched a video online and the guy who owns a Harley Road Glide was raving about the Indian Challenger and how well balanced and light it felt compared to his Harely RG.

Took a trip to the mountains of east TN/west NC. the bike is a bit top heavy, but in the twisties, it almost likes to hug-down like a sport bike. Have to really be conscious of counter-steering on some of the better roads. Throttle response with stock cams is good, but again, you have to keep it at high revs to really appreciate it. When it's rolling, it is a good bike, but I think it's happier on the super-slab. Tight turns and up and down the hills takes a bit of work.......on one road we went up a steep hill only to find a dead end. Trying to turn this 900lb. bike around on a narrow, inclined road was a b!tch to say the least. Overall, it's good bike. Just too many technical/electronic glitches and it's also not an easy bike to work on. I'd give it a solid 7 out of 10 overall. Ride, 9/10. Performance 8/10. Form/fit/finish, 6/10. Electronics, 5/10 Availability and cost of parts, 3/10.
I had it for a year. Put on a LOT of miles. It's a unique bike with a lot of advancements, BUT, it wasn't a Harley........and I guess my teeny brain just couldn't get used to the feel, noise, weird engineering......and I dunno......I guess I just got black and orange in my blood. I don't regret the Indian time I had, but at my age I feel better about being on something I know. Guess that's why I never cheated on my wife
