Today I checked out a Craigslist ad that led me to drive a 5 hour round trip from my house. A 2015 Indian Vintage, Willow and cream, 4200 miles. Stage 1 air cleaner, Stage 1 pipes with fishtails, Front and rear fringe mud flaps, Front fender rail, Passenger backrest with luggage rack, pullback bars, and over 3 years left on the warranty.
After taking it for a spin around his neighborhood, I shook the mans hand and we struck a deal. He’s taking a couple of days to get the title from his bank, and then I’ll hitch another 2 and half hour ride down to ride her back to her new home.
I did it. My bucket list dream bike. This is my first Indian. Maybe my last bike. I’ve been dreaming of this for a while. Just thought I’d share with some folks that might understand my joy. I’ll post some pics in a few days when I can get her home.
Now, to make sure the garage is tidied up enough to accept it’s new resident.
Oh, hell yeah! 😀
Congratulations, my moto-friend. I look forward seeing the pics and reading the stories.

Thanks! I’ve been off a bike for over a month now. I’m jealous of every passing bike. Can’t wait to get back out there. Especially on this new machine.

Congratulations! She looks awesome! Looking forward to seeing the pics. I don’t know about that being your last bike, though. Those are famous last words. Said them myself a time or two. (-:
Enjoy!

Thanks! Yeah, I’m still trying to figure out if I’m trying to make myself feel better, or convince my wife that this is my “last bike”. I mean, I could live a long time.
