Oh, to ride again but alas I can't. I have no balance. I have a 125 Yamaha that I can't even turn around in the street without putting My foot down then I almost spill it.

Nice looking ride BTW

This one has been lowered and some custum things put on it, 9,500 miles on it.
I wouldn`t mind having one myself, maybe the 1800.

Don't do it Pitchy, them Hostiles will end vacation early if they see that thing...much less the local Kids saying yang,yang,yang Pitchy's got a Rice Grinder. (repeat several times) for effect.

Thanks Pete, i was glad to see him get it, he just informed me that he bought a cratch rocket last winter and that he had it up too 150 mph

So glad to see this one.

+1. One of my friends has one, same vintage I believe (tho' he bought his with all the depreciation intact

)! Same color, but with a few more geegaws!

I had a 2003 VTX1300S......a most excellent scoot....I should have kept it, and saved a ton of money on the GoldWing and Harley. (I like where I'm at now, though)

Nice... I LOVE BIG Jap V-Twins and that Honda is a beauty.
I'm leaning toward an air-cooled 1670cc engine Road Star but in my dreams as I can't afford a Schwinn at the moment

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Tue Jun 19, 2012 5:07 pm

Thanks guys, my son is real picky about keeping things nice so if he keeps it under 100 and don`t hit a deer, or lay it down on sand in a corner, or get drunk and crash or or or

His problem is his eyes are bigger than his wallet and the banks give money out to easy.

I still want an Indian Chief !

One of the ones made around 2003 or so !

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Wed Jun 20, 2012 4:32 pm

I bought a new 02 Chief in 03, beautiful bike but total junk.
I had two engines, two overhauls and a new tranny before i sold mine , and i ride easy.
Lucky i bought a five year extended waranty that paid for all the fixes, they pushed it on the market before they worked the bugs out of it.
And of course went out of buisness again but now are back again and selling for a fortune.
If ya like i can list the majore problems with one, and who knows if they have yet to iron them all out.

The guys not buying Harley seem to be getting the Victory. Second hand info sez they are good scoots. I think I'll stick with Japanese scoots from now on. More power and better reliability.

That in Indian Red/Cream paint scheme with the tan bags and seat woulda been about what I was looking for !

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Thu Jun 21, 2012 9:21 am

I remember when i bought the Chief Indian put such a weak starter in the bike and guys were having Harley riders have to push start them

I love the old iron but if ya want to ride without worries buy Jap, heck There`s more American parts on a Goldwing than a Harley anyway.

It was a beauty all right and the power plus 100 engine was great but to many problems.
I rode it a couple years though.

I'm partial to the horizontally opposed 6 cylinder engines. Just picked this up this spring.

Nice bike Doug, we had a 97 in dark blue, eventualy had it triked by motortrike inc.
Had the Coup body on it, real sharp and comfortable, traded it for that new Chief should of kept the trike.
