I own that bike (with a few more accessories) and it's always a boost when people stop, take a second look and then walk around it.

I have a Harley and a KTM and nobody ever mentions the KTM but the Harley ! .......loads of people comment . Loving the Indian! A test ride might be on the cards soon

You look the part on that bike, Freddie. That two-tone jacket is the only one you wear I don't like. I really like the dark one. 4:55 This beach looks incredibly like the main one in Lagos, southwest Portugal. Another very enjoyable video.

Another lazy Sunday morning watching these lovely videos Freddie, you do a great service to these places you visit helping to show off some of the nice rides to be had coming down from south east London to these cracking little seaside places, all whilst doing a bike and clobber review in one video, keep these videos coming, they're very enjoyable and more importantly totally original compared to all the other bike review channels 👍

Thanks Garry, highly recommended! Rye's three miles from Camber Sands and is really beautiful (nice restaurants, cafes etc)- a brilliant day out on the bike!

[@elrickarza]

Love your videos! I have rode the Indians bikes, and I prefer them to the Harley, mainly because everyone here in the states has a Harley. Great video! by the way, if your riding a big American bike, you gotta have the lingo, they’re saddlebags, not panniers😀

[@this_is_my_scrambler]

Home town gets a mention. Amazing content, keep up the great work! 🇦🇺😄

[@ReluctantBikerNYC]

Freddie, you are right: The stock pipes sound absolutely fantastic. Enjoyed the video very much. And I like that it puts the Indian on the map. In my case, for instance, I don't much about Indian bikes, expect what I learned from watching A. Hopkin's "The World's Fastest Indian."

[@FreddieDobbs]

Really glad you enjoyed the video! My knowledge is/was very similar to you; The World's Fastest Indian (brilliant film!) and Steve McQueens bike of choice in the 1970s

[@seebo5139]

Great video! You really convey how it feels to ride-keep it up! The big Indians are amazing indeed. I recently rode the new Indian Chief Dark Horse and ordered one a week later. It will be delivered by the fall, I hope. Couldn’t afford it really, but did it anyway. That’s how much I wanted the damn thing.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Oh wow- the Chief Dark Horse should be properly here in the UK by August (ish) I think. It looks like one of the most incredible bikes!🖤 I know that feeling- that's the problem with these Indian Motorcycles- they are just so damn special! I bet you can't wait!

[@paulkinsella612]

I get the same with my speedmaster, people, non bikers mainly, coming up and complementing the bike. It does make you feel good, like when your kids get a glowing testimonial from school. A definite feeling of pride. I do like the Indian, a stunning looking machine. Even the sheep came over for a closer look. BTW, there is a shop at Camber Sands called BJs on the beach, I went in there but was sadly disappointed!! Cracking video as always, love the whole vibe of your stuff. Keep it up!

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thanks very much Paul!:)

[@FreddieDobbs]

[@stanleylawson9015]

fantastic bike , chamber and rye I know well beautiful to spent time there just chilling and having fun, I started looking more into the bikes and speaking with a dealer this does require a fair bit of frequent service's therefore cost , cost of ownership a key aspect before pulling the trigger, looking forward to the final review

[@FreddieDobbs]

That's a very good point about service costs and general ownership costs- I do touch on this in my final wrap up video so thank you very much for this insight- very useful for me to know!🙂

[@UncleBogator]

Beautiful day, beautiful bike, beautiful partner. Excellent trip Freddie. There are no true Indian Dealerships where I live in FL either. I don't know if they exist. They sell at general powersports/motorsports shops alongside Kawasaki, Yamaha, etc. But only select ones.

🤣🤣🤣 It's funny you should say that because I was on a biking trip in Wales in December and there were three ladies swimming in a lake in the Brecon Beacons! They said "aren't you going for a swim?". I replied that they were crazy, to which they replied "where are you from?"... I said "London", and they said "that explains it- you're all soft in the South East". 🤣🤣

Gotta update the culinary part for this bike! Drop the organics, soy whatevers, lattes and the fatfrees. Get down and dirty with piles of cholesterol, fat and food coloring! It craves hamburgers, fries, Coke and some tasteless beer! Don´t stop until you´re unable to move, then get some more. Rinse and repeat until you are able to eat barbed wire and shit napalm.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Hi Ian, 1. Actually I love the gauge on the tank and possibly even prefer it there thank on the bars. 2. I found it really comfy- especially with the foot boards, because you have some much movement room to reposition your feet if needed. It's incredibly comfortable
