I don’t get that one. I can’t stand that guy anyway so I guess it don’t matter.

Then maybe showing you a pic of my Indian Motorcycle might clear this up for ya, Thompson...



(...Indian Motorcycles, established in 1901, two years before Harley-Davidson, having a long and storied history behind them almost as much as H-D has, and with the implication of the above meme being that Indian motorcycles are more reliable than are H-Ds, and which in turn was just me playing off Masha's earlier meme)

But ... Can the Indian make the "potato" sound?

Ah, a man in the know here, eh Jimimac?!





(...and yes, with both being brands sporting large displacement, long-stroke, pushrod air-cooled V-Twin engines, the sounds eminating from them can sound similar, depending of course on the exhaust systems bolted to them)

So Dargo, how does that tiny kickstand hold up the Indian?
How do you ride something at least four times heavier than you?
It is a fine looking machine.

Yep, this Indian at approximately 850lb is by far the heaviest motorcycle I've ever owned. It does however sport a very low center of gravity which helps make it far easier to ride than what one might think. Perhaps the following meme might help explain this ...
