It was another week and a half before I returned, having done due diligence on finances and whatnot. Told the guy I was still seriously considering it, and left. A week later I brought my teenage son in try out the passenger seat. I let the guy "tell me all about it" (not mentioning the research I had already done), told him I was considering it, and left. I made the mistake of sitting on it and letting the sales guy hold it so I could check my sitting clearance for my legs. It was then I saw on on the showroom floor at the same dealer where I bought my Victory. So I did my research, read the reviews, kept up with things in the news and bid my time until my daughter finished school. My biggest concern going in was the weight 963 pounds is nothing to sneeze at. I wasn't yet in a position to be able to afford it, and I didn't want my fan-boy feeling to cause me to overlook flaws that may give me reason not to buy one. I was hooked, so I had to force myself to curb my enthusiasm. My first reaction was, "Yeah, like that!" on the styling. I still remember the first time I saw the new Star Venture. I'm a bit of a geek (as some might have noticed), and while the traditional styling of the Indians is nice, it just wasn't really my mug of coffee. I had mentally settled on the Indian Roadmaster, as I wanted a v-twin touring bike, but I wasn't completely thrilled with the option. I was still feeling the effects of the Victory closure announcement (I had a 2011 Victory Cross Roads), and since that time I had been window shopping for my next bike. I'd had my eye on this bike since it was announced back in the June timeframe last year. Please feel free to ask questions, and I'll add things as I see fit from these questions. I'm going to attempt to make this concise.
