I'm not as fond of those for the looks but imagine for cross county touring they'd be the ticket. If I were ever to have a bike it would be for town cruising and short trips ..

My Honda was perfect for in town cruising and short trips, no problems on the highway either till my hips and back gave out.

Speaking of Indian bikes I came a cross this internet picture of a local one.

Not me.......nope never till I absolutely have to. I was too lazy to take my own pic of the Honda, that was from the ad when I bought it in 2010.
PS...
There aren't any barns in our city.

Sensational Saturday morning Illinois, Sean, John, Morris and all the crew. I miss the last bike I had, a 74 Triumph Bonneville 650!
