Did I burn a bridge with Indian Motorcycles? My Experience...

Today I'm sharing my experience working with Indian Motorcycles to review a few of their bikes. The company was cool enough to actually reach out to me and offer to send out the Indian 2023 ftr 1200 and the Indian Sport Chief. This was my experience...

Whoa I made an appearance in your video?! Honored.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Bring Jackie back!

[@BrandonBicasso]

That’s awesome you got the opportunity and had a positive experience. 💪🏾

[@JonsMotoGarage]

The legend! Thanks for rolling through, dude!

[@dropbearmoto]

😂 that FTR video was one of the ones that made up my mind to buy an FTR!! So you helped sell at least 1 bike! Not that I have the skills to send mine that hard, but knowing it can……. 🤘🔥

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Haha! Hope you're happy with the bike! 💯🤙

[@FTRnRhome]

Same here, I watched his vids a few times and definitely factored in on my purchase. Love the bike so much, already tuned and added a full exhaust.

[@dropbearmoto]

@@FTRnRhomewhich way did you go with the pipe and tune?

[@FTRnRhome]

@@dropbearmoto lloydz V6 tune and Toce 2-1 low mount. Throttle response is great and damn it sounds gnarly as hell.

[@hauntingzero]

Definitely one of my favorite moto vid creators, man. I appreciate the work and honesty you put into your videos.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Thanks for the support! 💯🤙

[@Fee.1]

I wish Victory still existed. Love them so much more than Indian.

[@skuxxskits]

I'm loving the videos lately man! Glad your posting a bit again. I hope your having some fun and hopefully Indian will sponsor you again sometime soon :D

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Thanks, bro! 💯🤙

[@naturalforlife6741]

I just turned 70 on Dec. the 30th. I did a cart wheel on my 69th birthday but I couldn't on my 70th. I will try again because I had a hard shoulder work out the day before.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Happy belated bday!

[@Jonathan-L]

Don't give up doing what you do Jon ... you're content is always good to watch. Best wishes from the south west coast of the island of Australia.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Thanks for the support, man! I appreciate it! 💯🙏

[@dpuckett]

You have been that “muscle cruiser” guy I always turn to when I want an opinion of a big performance bike. I’m always rewatching older stuff. I have an R18 Classic (Would love to see you get a hold of one to blast around and give some thoughts on it), but still consider adding another and your honest reviews are great(love the Thunderbird)

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I've never ridden the R18. That would be rad! Thanks for the support, brotha! 💯 And shoot me pics of the bike for a highlight (if you want)!

[@MrStarguy]

I would have loved a sport chief or chief bobber dark horse, but both had major mark ups in my area. I ended up with a 2022 low rider S this past season with 1800 miles, spent $16,000 out the door. I absolutely love mine. That being said indian makes bad ass motorcycles, price is definitely up there though.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Sounds like a killer deal for a low rider s! 💯🤙

[@hiltonlouque1504]

INDIAN Dealers RIP every buyer with front end adds that may take you out of the market! Just bought a 23 Scout Bobber and loved it so much paid too much!

[@viperq]

A new Low Rider S for 16k? awesome.

[@MegaBailey67]

Sir you are an excellent gymnast and one hell of a motorcycle rider 🎉

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Haha! Thanks, brotha! 💯🤙

Hells yeah! I'm digging it!

[@Rusty924]

I just love these kinds of videos. Just you, sharing your thoughts. People watch videos for your personality I think. So I am up for whatever you are willing to share on youtube :) I will keep watching. Take care.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I appreciate the support! 💯🙏

[@Larrs]

Happy new year

[@7viewerlogic670]

Was going to say don't hurt yourself. Don't be afraid to make a Harley vid just going out for a rip (with a few wheelies). A lot of us are at least 3 months away from being able to ride!

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Good call! I'll have to get out for a spin here soon!

[@mattgoodmangoodmanlawnmowi2454]

If you are serious about staying young no alcohol, exercise & fix your nutrition Matt dad

[@JonsMotoGarage]

No alcohol ✅️ Fitness ✅️ Nutrition... that's the tough one for me.

I love indian Tucson I’m from Safford so every time I come to town that’s one of my stops rock on Jon 🤘🏽😎

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Yo! I'm not too far! We're in chandler. 💯🤙

[@trippontwowheels]

Let me guess, Andrew T? Same guy called me asking me to test ride Indians, saying they’d drop one off and pick it up a month or two later and they were excited to work with me. Never heard from him again.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Yo!!! Long time, bro! I'll have to look back at the emails. I know the original dude (Andrew) is no longer with the agency that was arranging the loaner bikes. I forget who the new guy was. Could be the same guy tho.

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

I did a load of steps in Portugal whilst on holiday on my XT500 years ago. Nick

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Nice! I bet that bike was a bit better suited for the stairs. 💯🤙

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

@@JonsMotoGarage It fairly thumped down them okay. It was short cut. The one-way system had annoyed me, bro.

You gotta ride and review a Honda Rebel 1100 DCT

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Definitely! I've been wanting to try out the rebel for a while now. 💯

How do i send you a photo from here, or do I need to go somewhere else

[@bobwayne17]

I went with an LRS with an FXRT fairing/FXRP bags/audio system for like 20k OTD over the sport chief after owning 3 indians...the challenger wasn't bad, but I had the first year available in 2020 and it was all over the place with electrical issues/quality issues. I had the most inane fairing rattle from the Challenger and it drove me absolutely crazy. Now the LRS has a broken speedo and weird electrical gremlins, next time I should just stick with BMW lol

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Dang, that's a drag. All this new tech leading to new headaches.

[@bikerbeliever8169]

Oh is that a cfmoto in the background I spy?

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Yeah, I'm trying to help sell it for a friend. I need to replace the battery and then I'll try and do a few vids with it. 💯🤙

[@volatilegraphix]

Dude, 35 isn't old. You are just getting seasoned. Says a 53 year old.

Woah you have a face ???

[@Joey.Darkwoods-Studio]

Indian offer a great ride... I wish I could get my hands on one one day.
