Nice bike my friend thanks for sharing that with us

[@RamblinManMoto]

Thanks for checking out the video!

It’s definitely a good looker. I remember when all I liked was the super cool looking anything that looked vintage or old I didn’t want to have nothing to do with but now I think it’s beautiful. It’s funny how our flavors change over the years.😊

[@RamblinManMoto]

That is funny. I think I may go in reverse. I started out in my journey (which is still new) liking the vintage looking stuff better. As I start looking at other bikes with more attention now, I'm curious about other style bikes and maybe trying one of those down the road.

The right side view of my 1700 Voyager makes me tingle where I pee. I mean, figuratively. Also, literally.

[@RamblinManMoto]

Ha--got a good laugh out of this one.

Well you put it out there. I am one of those non riders that love motors. I did ride on the back of an Indian when I was 16. All I remember was it was yellow in 1955 or so. My friend Tommy was one of those kids that got anything he wanted (guilty parents). Still remained a nice guy but died young of brain cancer. I still remember his words all these years later as I got on back. "put your arms around me." pause. LOCK YOUR FINGERS. BOOM! What I do not care for is the front fender "skirt" and I would cut off the down part of the front fender. I know no one cares what I thing and the only reason I say anything is because you kind of invited comments. The bike is of course beautiful.Based on you and your great videos, If I were to buy a bike it would be one of these. No shopping. Loved the Road Runner. Relating to the keyless entry. If you are old, write it down and put it in your wallet. My Dad always used the punch code. Often leaving keys in car. This stopped standing at the Golden Corral by his Mercury Marquis, realizing he had forgot the code. I drove a 2006 Dodge Ram that had the deactivation. Told salesman I drove it and noticed NO difference. He said You ain't supposed to notice any difference. As to feet not touching ground, you could buy some shoes like "Jimmy" had. "don't touch Jimmy" LOL.🦇

[@RamblinManMoto]

Ha! I bet that 1955 range Indian would be worth some $$ now. Wonder where it ended up. Funny, that front fender is one of the things people comment on. I tend to like it as I "think" it keeps rocks and debris from coming up to me, and maybe rain when that happens. Honestly not sure. My Super Chief is more the "bobber" style with a little short fender and I know folks told me that meant more rain and dirt would hit the rider including from the rear. You see Ford is going to start charging extra for the keypad? I have one on my truck and I have never used it.

[@dustbat]

@@RamblinManMoto We use the fob a while and it grew old. Would not pay extra for it. I learned on a bike as a teen no fender means wet back. I grant it would provide cover I just like the small ones better.🦇

[@thelost_woods]

Hands down best looking bike in the lineup.

[@RamblinManMoto]

Totally agree! I hope they don't phase this one out. I'm not sure it's the hottest selling bike as the push seems to be towards other styles. Thanks for watching. Please consider hitting "subscribe" if you haven't already. Thanks!

More electrical features = more electrical nightmares down the road.

[@RamblinManMoto]

@@omnivore2220 True but good while it lasts. Ha. The digital speedometers are cool. Not a fan of the gps. Maybe I will do an updated review of that other bike. If you haven’t already, please consider subscribing to my small channel. You may be already. Thanks!

I have a similar story with Corbin on my 2019 Scout. The stock seat was terrible. Ordered the Corbin and it totally changed the feel of the bike and not for the better. Hated the seat but kept it because it was so expensive. I now have a 2023 Springfield Darkhorse I purchased a Saddlemen seat. It's much closer to the stock seat and I'm very happy with it. Sorry you had that experience. I had hoped I was the only one that didn't enjoy their Corbin. Good looking seat, not what I expected.

[@RamblinManMoto]

I've read on forums that a number of people like Saddlemen. It's a shame all of these seats are so expensive. Makes a failed experiment pricey. I may cave and buy one of these used Corbins. Please consider subscribing if you haven't already. Thanks!

🌿. Having more than one motorcycle I have noticed when writing a loud motorcycle I do not see many deer 🦌 But when I ride the quiet ones I see them everywhere 🦌

[@dustbat]

When a trucker deer were a problem. Horn and air brake sound made them go the other way.🦇

[@RamblinManMoto]

Good point!

[@guyfuller1369]

They don’t all do that. My 2021 Springfield has that feature and it works flawlessly.

[@RamblinManMoto]

@@guyfuller1369 Assume you are talking about the key fob pin stuff? I think I made a video about mine and even in the video it was not working smoothly. Can’t recall if I edited it and posted it or not. I may try again soon. One thing is for sure, my usual dealer will be next to worthless in helping me getting it fixed if there is something wrong with it.

[@RamblinManMoto]

@@guyfuller1369 Sorry, just hit me you may be speaking about the cylinder deactivation. I think I am going to have to drive much further and go to a different dealer. My closest one is 45 minutes one way. I don’t like them. The one most people like is 1.5 hours one way for me. That really stinks.

[@guyfuller1369]

@@RamblinManMoto Sorry. I was vague. I meant the rear cylinder deactivation.

[@omnivore2220]

10K miles is still a new bike. I'm holding out for the 50K review. Then we'll see how many nightmarish electrical and computer problems mysteriously appear, causing the bike to simply cut out on some lonely highway for no apparent reason, leaving you stranded, and which no dealer mechanic can diagnose because the bike is so complex and also because Indian no longer provides support for that model year. (Sorry; I just has this experience with my Vulcan 1600, with 40K miles on it, and that bike is only half as complex with "tech" as the new Springfields)

[@RamblinManMoto]

@@omnivore2220 What exactly is all the “tech” you are talking about on your bike and/or the Indian Springfield? Given that most used bikes I see that are 5 plus years old with about 1k miles on them, there are a lot of garage trophies not exactly using their bikes.

[@issacparker9061]

Buy an air hawk for 200 or less put it on the stock seat and save a lot of money!

[@omnivore2220]

How many people have told you that your voice and speech patterns are exactly like Matt Walsh's?

[@RamblinManMoto]

@@omnivore2220 Have to admit I have never listened to him or even played a video by him so I had to look it up. Never been told that. I am older than him so I would say Matt is blessed to apparently sound like ME. Ha.
