My 2014 Indian Chief Vintage is the first bike I've owned since 1992! I sold my last bike when I joined the military and always planned on getting another one 'some day', but plans were always put on hold for 'something' (three kids, eight military assignments, mortgage, etc.). There's a pretty good chance I might have never got around to getting another bike, but that was before Polaris caught my imagination with their new Indian Chief. I'm back brother!!!

Polaris got me back into bikes with the 2002 TCD, then the 2010 Vision, and now the Indian. I kept the Vision and added the Indian Chief Vintage. Great bikes. I did have to wait to retire from the Navy, so as an old Chief I love riding my new Chief! My first test ride was in August in Daytona, I now number 1137. Here is a shot of my first test ride in August.

Right on, our stories are close, I got out in 87, when my youngest of 3 turned 18 I went down to the locale Harley shop and picked out a bike, that was 5 years ago (Dyna Wideglide 08) that bike is a lot of fun but I needed something a little more comfortable for the long runs. I test rode Harley, Victory, BMW & Indian touring bikes, all excellent by the way. It came down to the Electra Glyde Limited and Chieftain, the military discount put a blue Chieftain in my garage next to the dyna, all the best to you and your family.

Congrats and may you have many happy miles. Keep the shiny side up!

 

[Guest]

Congratulations and welcome!

Those new Indians are just a ton of good looking bike for the money. I'm more a chieftain guy, but. I see why the Vintage is so popular.

Thanks to all you service guys. Really. The only ones who seem to care bout you guys are us citizens and taxpayers. May you all ride a million miles on whaever 2 wheels you choose.

I'm risking going off topic here..................
My local paper today, the Sentinel and Enterprise had a story about a Gardner, Mass politician saying that he will have to cut Veteran benefits or ask taxpayers to help shoulder the 'burden' for Veteran benefits. What a POS. Oh, that's right, illegals and freeloaders aren't a burden, just the military. Sorry for the rant, but I just saw this story today and it really pisses me off.

My Dad was a WWII vet in the 8th Air Force.

I'm 60 years old now, working many decades and will have to for 10 more.........., just turned a few weeks back, so my 'filter is now broken' and I'm saying what I think out loud now. I also deliberately with everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS in the stores out loud...............
God Bless all Military personel. There was a time the Government and the 'old USA' would have thought so too.

I'm 39, and have a simillar story. I had a Suzuki GS1100 that I traded an 81 Honda Civic for. The night I got the bike, it got vandalized, and I spent the rest of that summer learning to fix my bike, and to not rely on a bike for my only mode of transportation. I joined the Air Force in 93 shortly there after, and always had something else in the way of justifying my purchase of another bike (kids, work, other hobbies, etc...).
I started kicking around the idea some this summer after a bike rally in Lynchburg, TN. I signed up for a rider's course to get my license, insurance discount, and be able to test drive something. I was in some serious talks with the Harley dealership for a 2013 Heritage Classic around the beginning of August (hoping to see the 2014 Harleys before deciding)... Then I saw the Indian commercial (prior to the release of Rushmore), and knew that was what I had to have. I put a deposit down the following day on my bike. I had seen Indians here and there, and a few times on American Pickers, but always thought of them as something unobtainable to the likes of me... That all changed when I brought home #1214 and couldn't be happier with my decision.
