We encourage Bikernet readers to react and share their impressions about our stories. Proof that our editorial keeps circulating, here’s a reader comment on a story published in December 2013 about a very special custom Indian Motorcycle featuring a one-off springer front end.
A Great looking bike. Indian will be my first Cruiser that I’ll buy over HD, although I was set on Harley to be the bike to have. I even went to MMI and took HD LATE MODEL AND EARLY MODEL along with Suzuki & Kawasaki because I am a croch rocket kind of guy. I first saw the new line on American Pickers and I was hooked. I’m the type that goes the opposite from the norm and blazes a new trail, and the Indian has the right look for Me. I love the Springer look and was very pleased with the look of your updated version. Thanks for giving guys like me an opportunity to ride a Great looking motorcycle. —Lance Bender, Lake Havasu city , AZ

What we will create together will be like no other daily newspaper in the world.”
The Buffalo Chip’s staff of six professional photographers will provide a photographic chronicle of each day’s Rally experience—contributing photos of events, bike shows, camping life, concerts and contests. Readers can expect to see reviews of the previous night’s concerts; recaps of the many bike shows including information and photos of winners; tips on the best restaurants, shopping and events; and an up-close look at many displays of world-famous artwork.
