Always wanted a "big" bike, and Harley was really the only game in town, so that's what I figured I'd end up with. Started out on a Honda Shadow 750. Figured after a few years I'd upgrade to the Harley. Then I saw video of the 2013 reveal in Sturgis. I had no idea Polaris had bought the brand and was reviving it. As soon as I saw pictures and videos of the Vintage, I knew that's what I wanted. Everyone's got a Harley - I wanted something different.
Then at this year's Sturgis, they revealed the Scout, and I thought, wow, that'll be way easier to convince the boss with the price range! When I showed her, she was like "I like the way the Vintage looks better. And if you add all the stuff on the Scout that you want, it's almost the price of a Vintage anyway, you should just get the Vintage." That's when the research began in earnest.
Then we both went to the Long Beach Progressive show and demoed the Vintage and we both loved it. We went inside the main show and they have a fully decked out Scout and she sat on that and laughed. She was like "after riding on the Vintage with you, there's no way I want to ride on the Scout with you."
Got the Vintage a few weeks later...
