      @Graeme, thanks for me learning a new word today. I actually had to look up the definition of "teetotal". ha

      Into motorbikes and don't know the meaning of the word dry?

      You'd get on well with my brother… 😃

          Perhaps I should just stick to my fixie. 😛

            Indian have just announced the Scout, which is roughly their take on the Sportster. @Finn666 I'd seriously consider this as an alternative to the Fortynine you were eyeing up the other day.

            I suspect it's not going to be something that @injunjack would go for, though I'd be interested in hearing his thoughts. I rather like it, despite not being into cruisers.

            Motorcycle Daily has a first ride report up, which is positive, but these things normally are.

            Criticisms? What is it with cruisers and single front brakes? And the fuel tank is rather small, so I hope the engine is frugal.

                Street Glide?  Nice.  Now that you've tasted the poison you may not want that Sporty.

                    Can't say a thing, as there is no nice things to say about Undians nor the factory producing them.

                      I definitely have something on my mind now…the 48 might even be a bit too little for my built and I really love to look of the Road King(!) @Bluegrass 😉

                      looking forward for more information @Giles …even though I'm sure I can't really afford it when it comes out ^^

                        My Street Glide - great road bike.  And Fat Boy - great street bike.  Both mostly stock except some performance mods.  Finn, consider the bigger bike.  Many people tire quickly of Sportsters… I have a 97 Low Rider that I plan to customize in the future...

                          My buddy looking at this one - 2005 Road King "custom" $8000 only 15000 miles.

                          Don't make this one any more - EFI, beach bars, mini windshield.

                            So, I test rode the R nine yesterday, so here's my view on how it rides in a nutshell.

                            This was my expression while riding it:

                            and THIS was my expression after being told I now have to return the keys:

                            Torque, suspension and nimbleness were super apparent and up close, it's a thing of pure aesthetics. It really does scream to be riding hard and out of BMW's 2014 line-up, it was easily the most sought after bike to be tested. 😃

                              Great to hear that they didn't half ass it knowing that cafe's are hot right now. Each time I spot one it has a huge, "SOLD, don't touch" sign on it

                                Nah summ3rhays, they didn't half step at all and just jump on the cafe bandwagon, blindly build and produce so to speak. From what I've been told by one of the reps, they aren't even changing a thing on their 2015's, as they really have no reason to. Just wish the price tag was more affordable. :-\

                                          That's pretty much exactly what I've been planning on building for the last three years, just haven't found a) the right donor bike, and b) time.
                                          Looks like I need to pay you a visit 🙂
