say 'Why didn't I think of that' in INDIANspeak?

When the Victory Cross Country was first introduced as a 2010 model I anxiously awaited a Factory Demo Tour at my local Vic dealer. After riding the Cross Country I was interviewed on camera about my impressions of the bike. One of my observations was that to be a true Cross Country motorcycle it needed front fairing lowers and a trunk. I waited until the Cross Country Tour was introduced and was one of the first to purchase one. I am now on my second XCT and really love the bike. When the Indian Chieftain was introduced I again waited anxiously for the Factory Demo Tour to come to my dealer, fortunately it was a short wait because I live in MN and we had one of the first Demo Tours in the country. My first impressions were again that this bike needed at the very least a trunk to be a true touring bike. When The Chieftain Tour is introduced I will be one of the first in line. I guess what I am trying to say is that with a little patience you can get all of the things you want at a reduced price when it is packaged together.

Exactly, I pieced together my 10' XC and I'm not going that route again even though I like my set-up better than the factory Tour model.

When the indian gets tour pack. Will probley buy one until then We will ride the wheel off the vision (if we can the thing together).

Well I definitely know they are coming. There is a plug under the seat that is not being used so I looked it up in my service manual and it is listed as trunk.

Yes, I believe that Indian will come out with a trunk-equipped model, probably next year in the 2015 lineup. Those who go on long rides will appreciate that featue. For me, 90% of my riding are short trips where the Chieftain's saddlebags are adequate and once the passenger backrest/luggage rack comes in (in two months hopefully) I'll have a detachable bag added as well.

...and a wider passenger seat.

Me too
Rode the XC and wanted more weather protection and a trunk....
I decided to wait for the total package.
