First Ride on a Cruiser in 30 Years Indian Scout

[@Scoottoots]

Nice bike and lovely roads to cruise 🙂.

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks! We have a few good roads. This is not far from my house.

Love your videos to a destination I know from previous vacations Keep up the good work sir ! Shiny side up riding to you

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks Ray! I am working on another now. Hopefully this weekend.

Looks like a great ride through the hills there! Nice town you stopped in too. Now I'm tempted to take a cruiser for a ride for something different! My last cruiser ride was 9 years ago and only the 2nd one I've ever ridden, the first being in 1998. Good looking bike mate, you'll have some fun on that!

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks. Just something a little different. I wanted to see how the reliability is on the Indians. Most folks seem to have good luck with them.

Very nice bike. Nice ride up to Wickenburg. Indian sounds sweet. Enjoyed the video A.D.D AND RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks Henry. Fun times.

[@Sum4Seb]

What a nice road to ride! Exhaust note was perfect. Our friend has a 2022 Chieftain and he loves it. That looked really enjoyable, ride safe & *T4S*

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks guys. Something a little different.

...nice bike bro. Congrats! ✌🏻

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks Luis. Good to hear from you.

Nice bike. Really like the color combination. Enjoy the heck out of it.

[@azdesertdog]

Thank you!

Great video! Great music! Great bike! You have a new subscriber! How long was that ride? Was a day trip or over a couple days?

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks for subscribing! It was a short ride about 180 miles. I did it in one day.

[@MrDuhfactor]

Nice choice Homie... my neighbor has one, and loves it!

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks my freind. It's an experiment for the future.

[@TomsTinkeringandAdventures]

Looks like a good steed. I did an Indian dealership test ride a few years ago, seemed like nice bikes. I enjoyed the FTR1200 most of all.

[@azdesertdog]

This bike is an experiment for the future. I looked at the FTR. It was too close to the 1090 oddly enough.

[@CorgiDaddy]

The Indian looks and sounds great! I live in North Scottsdale and your video has motivated me to prep for a ride north tomorrow. Thinking 89A?

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks! Hope you have a safe ride. Be careful when you get to Jerome. The police cheif up there is not too bike freindly.

[@sparkyobrian6417]

cool

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks!

[@michaeltorrey3603]

Nice. I’ve had a few cruiser’s. My favorite was a Harley Sportster though not really a cruiser imo since it had mid controls. Last was a Victory Kingpin I really liked. Test ridden a few Indians, what a strong engine.

[@azdesertdog]

I'm experimenting with this for the future. I really like it so far.

[@mohawkmikemotorcycles9077]

Cruising? I see you have calmed down in the past 30 years lol. Good ride.

[@azdesertdog]

Hah! Thanks Mike.

[@GunNut37086]

I've been riding for 43 years, but I've never owned a cruiser. I see the appeal, especially now that I'm getting old and climbing up on my Super Tenere isn't as easy as it was a decade ago.

[@azdesertdog]

I've been strictly dirt oriented for the last 25 years. Dirt hike, dual sport and ADV. I had to give up dirt bikes last year. The cruiser is an experiment with the style and with indian. Before I retire I have some long distance pavement trips. I'm not a sport touring or touring guy. The Indian Springfield caught my eye. If the scout works out I may go that route.

[@GunNut37086]

@@azdesertdog I've been eyeing the Indian scout for a few years, but I can't give up my ADV bike yet even though I should.

[@azdesertdog]

Check out my Bonneville videos. I set my T100 up to do some light off road. It might and option to get you out if ADV but give you an option if you want to get a little dirt in.

"She's a bute Clark!"

[@azdesertdog]

Hah! Thanks Pete. My favorite line is "shitters full". I'd like to make that my ring tone.

[@fenderfan8543]

Cool looking bike. They are pretty small bikes though. Felt super cramped riding it.

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks for watching. I'm 6'1" 250. I find it pretty comfortable. But I'm used to dirt bikes and adventure bikes. I found that floorboards are a nice addition.

[@roadrash76]

Time to go cruising.

[@azdesertdog]

Thanks! Hope to get some riding in up north.

[@lawman1192000]

I’ve been seriously considering selling my Africa Twin and buying an Indian. What do you think about it? Is it a good move? I still have my TW200 for off road. Do you like the Indian?

[@azdesertdog]

The Scout is an experiment. I do enjoy it. I want too see how I like the cruiser at this point in my life. Test Indian reliability. I will let you know. My plan is a larger Indian. There are some long pavement trips I'd like to take before I retire.

[@lawman1192000]

@@azdesertdog Same here. I was looking at the Pursuit but they are expensive. I plan to test ride one soon.

[@The2ndProtectsTheRest]

Same for me with my KTM 1290 Super Adventure R! I'm over the adventure bikes. I don't use my KTM enough for what it was meant for to justify having it. I would get a lot more use out of a cruiser.

[@Tankerman]

So youre on a cruiser now and just like that youre to snobby to talk to us adventure bike guys😜.

[@azdesertdog]

I'm gonna grow a pony tail too. Bwahahaha.

[@89quattro]

Good video, but the music ruins it.

[@azdesertdog]

Well you can't please everyone. Thanks for watching.
