Marcel Posted 12 hours ago Author Share Posted 12 hours ago A screew it..im doing it today..I'll show you how easily a rear tire swop is on a indian ...compared to a Harley... Step one, remove panniers and side cover...I'll add pictures later...think it can actually be done without removing the panniers but I'll clean the muflers wyll I'm at it...

Marcel Posted 11 hours ago Author Share Posted 11 hours ago So you're probably thinking what's the big difference from a Harley...no need to mess around with the muflers, with rusted clamps and are a pain in the arse to remove at times...if only Harley had compitent engineers...lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh gonna tell you a little story , we get at odd times ...transient vagrant passing through the town on rare occasions during the summer...been a week been noticing this one..when going to the coffee morning hours...ripped up clothes dirty has hell.with a winter coat and a hoodie in this 30c plus weather....on my way to get my truck...this transient was walking on the side of the highway...walking in the same direction I was going...I almost stopped and offered it a ride..but the traffic was to heavy and im not in the habit of picking up hobos... On the way back...that same person was sitting down next to the white line...mixing bottles of water or something...I pulled over and ask..French or English..turns out it was a elderly women..maybe 50 or so...I gave her 20 dallors and a bottle of water...told her its for food ..not drugs...pour things she's was actually about 70 km from the nearest next town...

Seriously don't think she will reach that town before night fall...or anyone giving her a ride looking like that...she spoke English by the way...bears with cubs are really dangerous this time of year...
