Wow @motojobobo glad to hear you're doing "okay", quick recovery, glad to hear your helmets good

[Jett129]

Wow @motojobobo Glad you’re able to tell us about it. Sounds like you were by yourself when it happened. Had you gotten separated from the group? Keep us posted.

@motojobobo Sounds like you were riding with a good group of guys.  Wish you a speedy recovery and glad that you’re ok.

New toy arrived today. My first bike. Had to rock the IH tux for the 1st ride.

@68degreesorless Congratulations and enjoy!

[68degreesorless]

Thanks @goosehd !

Just spent the last hour reading up on your bike (knew nothing beforehand).  Cool dual sport that looks to be good on and off road and should be quite a bit of fun.

Any plans for adventure riding or tours planned?

Killer bike @68degreesorless , looks ready to get some on/off-road miles on it

[68degreesorless]

Thanks! It’s not too impressive from a performance standpoint but I like the versatility, love the look and the price point.

Yes I’m hoping to try adventure riding soon. I’m a brand new rider, just passed the safety course, so planning to get comfortable on the road first and then start looking for some fun gravel. I have a background in backpacking so wanna do some camping off it too. And bring the tenkara rod

Good luck with the new bike. Definitely take it slow,especially,if the eventual goal is off road.

[Dmart]

Congrats on the new bike have fun and ride safe.
And of course the appropriate outfit for loosing virginity 

I am eying a 2013 Deluxe to accompany my sporty. Will have a test ride tomorrow.

Hey Ironheads,

I sold my 1966 Benneli Tornado when my daughter was born. I'm starting to think about two wheels again. I've always been a cafe racer rider and more into the Brit and Italian retro styles, more into Bonnie than a Ninja Having said that, an Indian Scout was always a dream bike back in the day.

I'm so long out of the bike scene (my last bike had right foot gear change LOL) that I'm look for ideas and what lemons to stay away from.  I don't want to go down the old vintage path again - but the retro flavour with reliability is what I'm thinking.

Hypersonic speeds are not my thing and the ability to have a lady squeezing my waist as a pillion passenger needs to be part of what I go for 

So after that long ramble, it would be great to hear from some of you with some ideas.

Thanks in advance

Jase

I picked up a Thruxton RS around Christmas and have been putting in the miles this summer.  Great bike (retro styling) but modern comfort and reliability.  You can get passenger pegs/pillion for it also.

Sounds like you're looking for something similar to me. I'm considering an Iron 883 with a pillion seat and sissy bar for my better half
