I've blogged on similar subjects before.   Back in '16 I participated in a record run, but to be honest it wasn't that big of a deal to me.  I thought it was over advertised, and came up short, way short.   Advertised as a '500' it barely surpassed 1/2 that amount.   At the same time, I didn't get on board with the 'parade' concept at first.  I wanted to do an actual ride.  I thought the parade part was ...   a joke.    So, I never even got the certificate.   I wasn't proud of it.   Then the following year, it was almost a repeat.  I about fell out of my chair laughing when it was named '500+' and was destined to be a repeat.  It was, barely having more bikes.   I've covered elsewhere how some of those bikes shouldn't have been counted in the mix. Since then, I've come to appreciate the parade concept.   Though I still don't like it, you need to keep the folks tight,...

You read that correct.  That's 2008, not 2014. I outright love this bike.  Can't help myself .  Wrote about it a few weeks back after sitting on it.   Carolyn Tomas sent me the pics below.... which got me thinking about it.  Just thought I'd share. ________________________________ Michael Thomas wrote: It was 2008 when my creation of a modern Indian with true routes back to its original DNA was born.

Okay .. I made up that number. Posted this in a FB Group yesterday.  Saw it on one of my CVMA Brother's pages and busted up laughing.  Not sure exactly what about this that had me smirking, but it did.   Then, wondered where I could share it off to. Almost put it on my own page, but decided to put it somewhere more visible.   What I never expected was the array of responses.   Like I said, I simply thought it was funny.  Now, why did I share it off to an Indian related FB Group ?  Good question, and thank you for asking... haha.   I've been Riding Indians for over 10 years now.  In that time span, I've seen folks talk shit about the Gilroy Generation.  The Kings Mountain Generation.  The newest Spirit Lake Generation.   Then there was the BS about the Victory's.  Then the drama of Vics vs Indians.  Then the drama of the Vic's going away in '17. The BS about the Scouts (blasphemy, they are...

It's almost here.  Crazy weather down in Houston / Galveston this week due to a Tropical storm, but in a few weeks it will all be dried out and just history. Six weeks from now is the Lone Star Rally! Rally Locations condensed  I wrote that in September '19 to start the preparation for this Blog Post, then things got busy.  Hot Springs for the Gregory 500+ then back to get ready for LSR .  We prepped the bikes early, loaded them in a trailer and headed down a week early to enjoy some time at the beach first. My sis n' law was flying in for some sister time with Lucy, so we had a few days of good times.  Then, mama dropped me off at the airport and I headed to Vegas for 4 days of business with customers and peers.  Then, left a day early to get back to the rally and the folks rolling in. It was time for LSR to kick off! Farley's and mine (Sugar B) loaded up Donnie pulling his baby around after unloading When I'd left it was warm and dr...
