Re: The color of my new Scout
I like the red with the brown leather saddle.
Congrats on your decision to get this bike, but I also hope that you ignore your pole and get the color you like the most.
Safe Travels,
Richard

Re: The color of my new Scout
You want me to ignore my pole...oh you mean my poll. 

People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Are you talking about Canadian football.

Re: The color of my new Scout
Why move from a Buell to the Scout though? It's interesting when someone switches to a completely different style of bike (as opposed to getting the same kind of bike but just bigger, smaller, or newer).Johnj wrote:I'm trading the Buell in on a new Indian Scout.

You mean the game with one less down and ten more yard than the 'Merican game as played by the National Fairies League?Johnj wrote:ceemes wrote: if the man is gonna go over to "play for the other team", he may as well go all the way

Re: The color of my new Scout
Hmmmm, I'm not a big fan of that word to describe a cruiser to be honest. In fact, are not "gezzer glides" Gold Wings (and big touring bikes) thus the "glide" part of it?ceemes wrote:By the by, nice bike for all the joking aside....but still a cruiser....aka Gezzer Glide........you must be getting old mate.
But no matter, I do not think a 100hp cruiser could be called anything "that slow" as the Scout fits into the V-Rod category.... unless you also call a V-Rod a Gezzer Glide?
IMO, I think the Scout looks darn cool for a cruiser and in fact, I think it's easily the coolest cruiser on the market today.

Re: The color of my new Scout
I agree as well... I guess the term came from "those who can afford such a bike"... I donno. I don't use it myself.dr_bar wrote:Have you ever ridden an 1800 Goldwing??? Wow, that's no slouch in the power department either...
