2000 Indian Chief - Indian Summer of 2007 (updated)

Summer of 2007 is when a lifelong dream of owning an Indian Chief Motorcycle became a reality, for better or worse. - (Can't seem to reply to comments so I'll put it here: The word CLASSIC seems to be causing some discussion among people. If you check www.dictionary.com one meaning of the word CLASSIC is: "of enduring interest, quality or style: a classic design; classic clothes." - Another interesting example of the word CLASSIC can be found on the Suzuki.com site where they refer to an as-yet unreleased motorcyclke as a CLASSIC It's the Boulevard C109R which isnt on the market yet - "You've never seen - or experienced - a CLASSIC cruiser like this.")

what kind of gas mileage does this bike get

[icelandknight]

@dhommie1 - I'm sure someone will share their miles per gallon with us, but I couldn't tell you. Especially since it didn't matter that much to me. - While I had this bike, I felt every drop of gas was worth it, since it kept me RIDING! ... Loved it while I had it... and may have another, later. (We'll have to see.)

ur a real ass hole flaunting this in my face. really this is a nice vid maybe next summer i will have a indian.

[icelandknight]

@bigcountrypicker Not really sorry about that, hehe... but as you say, you will have yours soon? So that's good. I wanted for a LONG time to hear & see the bike in action, so was making the most of it while I had it. - I have a few more videos if it in the garage, where it stood, scanning every small detail. but that is how this bike was LOVED, while I had it. Good luck with yours ;-)

Very good video! I'm surprised the ratings are lower than 5/5. The narration was spot-on, and I enjoyed watching and listening to such a cool bike. Cruisers are the best!

Throughly enjoyed how you went about the discription of the bike and the video I am a proud owner of a Indian Chief 100th anniversary 01 chief with slight upgrades including six speed rev trek tranny check out my video

I think if you do not understand or do not understand when they refer to a classic bike and the context where you use this word, when you refer to a motorcycle like this.

will be very hard to explain what we mean, if you're not connected or do not want you to understand and respect one when speaking of a classical model or a classic online. or to a great American classic.

Your indian motorcycle is a beautiful and always the mark will be a great classic in the world of motorcycles.

@widndn - Understand you completely! Mine had probably been mistreated and therefore misrepresented in the sale (Only 30 days earlier). I was sad to see it go too, but must admit, it wasn't the Chief I flew over to buy. The other had other issues (broken saddlebag mount, slow to start, backfiring, etc) and ALSO misrepresented in that sale. Just my luck, I guess. I DID enjoy mine while I had it, for sure. A dream come true... even if it didn't last.

@icelandknight I have owned a 01 chief for 9 years, and have had no problems at all.I have put 30,000 miles on it and love it,sorry you let yours go. I could never sell mine!

[widndn]

@searchlight22 I think he said it "LOOKS LIKE A CLASSIC" not is a classic
