Even here in Colorado, where you can’t swing a cat without hitting a Harley, I get this all the time: men & women, young & old, motorcycle folks & dedicated cagers… I love it, because I meet so many interesting people! (I even got a couple dates with one great guy, but he was way too young for me)

Happens all the time.

I like to park where I can see my bike when I'm not on it (bars, etc) and I can't count the amount of times I see people walking down the row of 'glides and then stop when they get to my chally to check it out.

If I happen to be near the bike people almost always stop to chat me up about it.

Irks my Harley buddies but they don't say anything... much

It was more often on my 02 Chief, but I was younger and rode more. Still happens though. The Springfield catches some attention.

Yep common story, especially in England where Indians are even more unusual
I get women who seem to love the shiny chrome on my springfield
Little old men who remember Indians from their youth
Or people who's only reference is the movie world's fastest indian!!

I don't mind, nice that people are interested in bikes and I do get to chat to women!!

I’ve gotta disagree. I’m a “former” young guy myself. If he’s old enough to grow armpit hair, he’s not too young for you. Especially if you’ve already gone out with him. But if you’re attracting guys who you think are too young then keep playing the field.
You go girl!

Just yesterday someone behind me speeding through traffic from light to light finally pulled along side of me and started waving to get my attention. I was thinking maybe he was going to complain about the exhaust on my Scout Bobber being too loud or something. Nope. Just gave me a thumbs up and “I love your Indian”! I said thanks, so do I.

I haven't noticed it to be an Indian thing. I've had strangers admire, comment and ask questions on just about every bike I've ever owned. Only bike that I know of that I've owned that nobody asked about or cared about was my blue Huffy #56 with a banana seat.

Hi all! So after buying my first Indian motorcycle, I’ve noticed that almost everywhere I stop, while out for a ride, people make it a point to talk to me. It might just be a passing compliment or a full blown conversation. I’ve never encountered anything like it, but I suspect that it’s because I rarely see other Indians amongst the sea of Harley’s. I was just curious if this happens to everyone as well?

Yes, I get a lot of complements and comments about my 2019 Indian Chief Vintage too, My favorite is from the people who are up in age in their 70s, 80's & even 90's who tell me they had an Indian motorcycle back in the 1930s, 40s & 50s and tell me stories of their adventures riding back in their younger days, I enjoy hearing about their personal history of yesteryear. 🐺

Hey there... I'm just over the mountains from you; Utah. You're cute!

If you're looking for a future ex, that was a previous musician (sax/bass), used to teach dance (swing, salsa, tango), and is now hopelessly trying to get in shape to compete with all the young kids in body building... say hello! Yes I'm not ashamed of anything, even of posting advances on a motorcycle forum. Old enough to know better, too young to care!

Well, I was born before (but not long before!) a man first walked on the moon. He was born after space shuttle launches became commonplace. I just have a tough time relating to anyone who doesn’t remember the ‘80s😜

Yeah, I get it. You have to draw the line somewhere. Pick a decade and stick to it.

Bought mine April 2014 they were more uncommon then. Now I see more than a few. Never seen another one in 2014 Was fun being the only one in town.

Couple of my favorites... Stray Cats along with George Thorogood & The Delaware Destroyers for me. Well, that and purdy girls

Both my 2017 Limited, and 2022 Chief Bobber DH gets favorable comments and compliments. I've had people start conversations, telling me stories about their experiences with the brand after recognizing the Indian script on any of the swag that I wear,

80s was a great time! Even though the Eagles didn't put out any music.

 

[Georgia Boy]

I get it all the time! People honking their horns and giving me the thumbs up, or yelling at me during a stoplight and saying they love the bike. Have people frequently ask if they can take pics of my Vintage.

 

[Red Cloud]

It happens all the time. Get used to it 😁

 

[Red Cloud]

Get used to it.... When I stop at the drug store to pick up my old man meds on my green & cream Vintage, I've had a hand full of older folks come up to me and chat. A few have even commented on what a great restoration I've done to my old Indian. They're surprised when I tell them it's a 2015... then the conversation really starts LOL. Had plenty of thumbs up at red lights and the like. Also had some thumbs up from a few younger fella's on their rice rockets. All part of the curse of having the coolest and prettiest bike in the hood

People think mine is old and restored too🤭
