It is going to be good.The bikes are really neat and there seems to be a great deal of excitement about them.Given Polaris and Victorys proven track record we expect them to do well.The orders are placed. We hope to see the initial bikes in the next 30 days or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Quick Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 That's awesome! I was really happy when you guys added Polaris. On that note do you have the new Sportsman Ace on display? Forgive me if this info is already elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnG Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yes, post up when they come in so we can come have a look! Hmmm.... Ohio Riders sneak preview perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Pony Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 M-quick we're excited about the ACE too. Polaris is really great about creating new categories and having continual product development. They just never stop bringing neat stuff. If you guys have not heard of it do a quick search of Polaris Slingshot. Really different, and perhaps not on every motorcyclist's wish list, but it might be really cool to open people's eyes to alternative transportation. The Slingshot is supposed to be a 2015 model released late this summer. I'll post up when the first ACE comes in, I'm not certain about the timeline. Max, the orders are placed, but you know how things go. I have been told around the middle of Feb, but I'd hate to "promise" that. I'd say we'll have bikes here the first week of March for sure.I know two of the first bikes will be demos. Victory demo truck will be here on May 3-4, but that is a different program than the Indian demo. We have a commitment on the Indian truck for this summer/fall, but I don't have a date yet. JohnG, sure I'll posts it up and you guys can watch us pull the first ones out of the crates if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Pony Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Keeping our fingers crossed for a couple of the new Indians to arrive tomorrow.......That is what we have been told, but you know how things can go sometime. Please excuse our construction when you come in, the new Indian showroom is quite a project and things are a bit of a mess. We're really excited about the bikes getting here and will probably uncrate them right away. Of course I'll take photos, but I'll try to give you a heads up so if you're local you can come over and see them being uncrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Pony Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Congratulations John! Thanks for being our first Indian buyer. John purchased his Springfield Blue, Indian Chieftain just a couple of hours after it arrived. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 He picked the best one. The blue is a sharp bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smccrory Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 No doubt, the blue looks great. I'd add a little brown/tan to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 No doubt, the blue looks great. I'd add a little brown/tan to it. Yep, a tan seat would be the first thing I would do. But I am partial to tan seats anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I hope that Indian really dips into Harley's pocketbook, about time they have some competition again in the gourmet bike market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Pony Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Pokey, there is an old French proverb that escapes me at the moment, but it basically says "the sun can shine on everyone" I think the Indians will take a bite out of HDs market share, but HD has a ton of it, it might sting a little, but that is about it. We love HDs too. Competition is good. I would say that Victory has pushed HD to make some pretty big changes in the last 10 years. In my opinion, even if you do not like Victory and are a faithful HD rider, you have benefited from Victory's success in the heavyweight touring/cruiser market. I expect the same will happen with Indian. Competition is great for the rider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Pokey, there is an old French proverb that escapes me at the moment, but it basically says "the sun can shine on everyone" Le soleil luit pour tout le monde. The sun shines for one and all. Edited February 15, 2014 by Tonik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
