The Indian Motorcycle revival had been simmering on the back burner of my mind for quite some time, fueled by the occasional article describing the powerful Thunderstroke engine. On a fairly warm February day in 2017, on a whim, I found myself pushing open the doors of Indian Motorcycle of Fort Collins. I hadn’t been to this dealership since they added Indian Motorcycles in late 2015. Content with my trusty Victory Vision Tour, I was simply visiting to satisfy my curiosity. But as I scanned the showroom floor, my gaze collided with a sight in metallic red burgundy – a brand new Roadmaster, fresh off the delivery truck. Though my head tried to argue otherwise, my Victory was a loyal companion, the miles etched onto its chrome a testament to countless adventures. Yet, there was something about the Roadmaster I couldn’t shake. “There’s a demo you can take out,” the salesman offered, a knowing gleam in his eye. Minutes later, the Colorado air whipped through my helmet as the asphalt blurred beneath the Roadmaster’s wheels. It was pure magic – the effortless power, the responsive handling, the symphony of the V-Twin echoing around me. When I pulled back into the dealership, the decision was made. My Victory found a new home, and I rode home on my brand new 2017 Indian Motorcycle Roadmaster.
