Ok, let's see here... V-Twin type touring bike, check. Disparaging comments by the usual suspects, check. Yep, looks like another normal week in store for the TMW Cool Wall. :)
Gee Boss... don't make us blush :roll:
No offense intended, was just sayin'.

The passenger area looks excellent. Here is a video I came across.

OMG, the comments are funny this week! Quite a few times I had to snort laugh. :lol:

I wasn't too sure on this one, so I went with the "it's a little too pimpin' for me" and voted uncool. Ok, maybe there really isn't anything TOO pimpin' but 23k gold leaf paint and a price to match a luxury car? Wow. Does it come with Car hydraulics to make it jump? (oh, I think I just created a new marketing opportunity for Indian!)

I have to agree, it is odd it only comes in one colour. and it is an odd blueish purple. Not bad, but at $44k, I'd like a few colour choices please.

And why is it 23k and not 24k? I've never heard of 23k. 22k, sure, but 23k? Was there a discount on 23k? Maybe the 24k was defective? I can see it now "Oh, so you didn't get the 24k option?", "Cheaped out on the 23k gold eh?".. lol.

Lux-o-barge.

Remember when the GL1500 came out we thought it was a Winnebago on wheels? Well, this is crazy.

Sorry, uncool. But cool if you are into this sort of thing.

= a Coolwall Factor of 42.4%

Total Motorcycle's Take-a-way: Unique, comfy, stylish and horrendously expensive. Overall 42% Cool. Ouch. Shockingly the new 2018 Indian Roadmaster Elite finishes less than Cool than a 1/11th the cost ($3300) CCW. Ouch. I'm not sure Polaris is going to be celebrating this "Victory" anytime soon.

Best comments of the week: "Lazy Boy Recliner on wheels"; " But I'm still gonna laugh behind my hand while I pass you on the left. You probably wont notice over the Steeley Dan blaring on the 300 watt sound system though" , "I like the idea of buying 11 other rides instead of this one. That way you could at least rent them out and make a decent income.", "Disparaging comments by the usual suspects, check. Yep, looks like another normal week in store for the TMW Cool Wall".
