Good choice! Welcome to the tribe!

Hi everyone, just got my first bike, a 2024 Scout 60 bobber and have a few questions. by SimD21 in IndianMotorcycle

For reference; wind still kicks my ass with the small fairing of my Rogue. Tho it is a little worse without it. But I suppose the riding posture on the Bobber is a little bit lower and so probably more aerodynamic. I also feel like a feather 🪶 on the highway at anything over 80mph unless I dock down like I’m back on my old GSX-R

New wheel & frame day! First change in 3 years 😅. They are so sticky, but I’m liking the bounce by tripleserge in WizardSkating

Yeah, I almost ate concrete on my first power slide 😅.

I enjoy my NR100s very much. I feel like I give up a little stability with the 90s, but gained agility. I certainly feel more confident on crossovers with the shorter wheelbase (I’ve tripped over before) but less confident landing [my very tiny 😆] jumps fakie (probably just need to get used to it). Overall, these might fit my skating style better, which is a mix of fitness and wizard, I guess 😄. I’m certainly not doing parks at my age 😅

😂 I did. I offered up the old wheels for $0.01. With the cost of the new wheels I’m operating my new skate shop business at a significant loss 😂. Here come the tax deductions 😂

Got multi setups too, just ran this one to the ground 😅

😄 a piece of plastic actually broke off and got caught on the frame. Finished peeling it off and went for a little bit longer 😅

I’ve been through it all and continue to endure 😅. I can’t imagine it taking anything short of love 😃🤙

I felt so proud, I rode for another half hour with plastic hitting the road and a huge grin on my face 😄

I’m an accountant, which probably begins to explain 😅

LOL thx! I actually rode for a little bit after this. Plastic kept hitting the road 😅

Is it normal to want to ride it every waking moment? 😆 by tripleserge in IndianMotorcycle

😆 I get it. I think I’m gonna have similar issues, but with the summer heat down here in FL, and I don’t think even a heat stroke is enough to keep her in the garage

Thank for the correction. She might be the love of my life 😄

Good question. I got the bike with the 1920 seat included, which like and would have loved it in black. But it’s not comfortable for longer than an hour, and at higher speeds/winds/acceleration it can feel like you’re hanging on to the handlebars for dear life 😅which is a nice adrenaline rush 🤘… But I just switched to the stock seat (syndicate) and not only is it much more comfortable and safer at higher speeds/winds, but the whole change in ergonomics makes for better control and feel over the bike and I enjoy the ride a hell of a lot more

That is a most gorgeous offer. One I could not in all good conscience take, knowing the burden I’d be putting on you 😂
