It ain't about how many chrome goodies you have on that overpriced V-Twin, especially since the other 2 American made motorcycle companies, Victory and Indian can match what Harley sells, but at a lower price.
From what I've been reading, since Victory and Indian are both owned by Polaris, it sounds like Polaris may be turning Victory into more of a street/standard/sport bike style company. Otherwise they are effectively competing against themselves.

I ended up getting a new losi ten scte 2.0 rtr loaded. I could of got a rc4wd trail finder 2 rtr but I wanted a race truck. I ran it on leisure hours raceways out door off road track on a practice day recently. It did great. I drove it for about a 1/2 a hour till i got tired of driving it on that track. That was the second time i ever got to drive on a off road track. My first time was years ago with a clodbuster. ha,ha. My race truck is so fast out of the box and the electronics are all water proof. That baby ran me over 599. I had to put it in credit though because i'm broke. lol. I only drove the truck 4 times since i got it new a couple of weeks ago.

I'm not really a monster truck guy and don't have time to put into this beast.
Has a skid drilled for an axial trans. Gonna need electronics and steering set up.

Not sure what it's worth other than what mike said at the event. Seemed a little inflated for excitement.

I can bring to Gary's Saturday for viewing.
I'd like the axles... that's about it.

We will have to chat. Gary showed interest in the whole chassis. I'd like to trade for something I'll use. Scx possibly for a c1. Who knows. Not too sure what these big bastards are worth

Ya, you're right, and I just found that out myself that Polaris picked up Indian after it folded the second time. Also the new Indian Scout is a water cooled engine now, like the V-rod, and the Indian Chief engine looks like a flathead.

no ill still braze on the rotors, but i can FINALLY use a real tubing bender and also not have the ghetto rig jigs of whatever variety to hold things.

most the people in this little town seem to be pretty cool, but just a few houses down is one of the trashiest houses i have EVER seen, and while ive been around and been good friends some super duper white trash people these guys take the award for not giving a fawk. i cant give thier place justice with words, i need to take a picture, and lol im scared of being seen taking one.

i am going a tad insane not having internet where we are at the moment... gotta have comcast come trench a line to the house, and that aint till the 20th.

dont really even have dependable cell reception either. sooo, ive just been catching frogs and tadpoles and messing with rc cars and boats. cleaning the pool, using the winch on timmy to cut old kitchen cabinets in half before i burn them... pretty fun.

adam you were right, a 3s mamba max system in a tc4 drift car is useless... ;)
