Summary: Welcome back to this weeks episode of Throttled. We had a great time with this little motorcycle podcast this week. Both Kevin and Larry got some riding in, here are the details.<br> Larry-Wednesday, 76 mile roundtrip to club meeting through traffic, Thursday ride to Talbott Motorcycle Museum in Castro Valley-a real treat! (280 round trip on Rever) Saturday, Poker run ride at Mt. Diablo H-D, another 160 or so. Great weather, beautiful roads, and a few other Switchbacks that I saw (2 others out of maybe 125 bikes)<br> Brian Hunnicut invited me to a cornering class at the Little 99 raceway in Stockton, later this month, which I signed up for. Still having trouble imagining me circling the race track on my Harley Switchback. Could remove the windshield and bags, but I really think I want to practice with the bike as I usually ride it.<br> Kevin was able to ride out and attend a local demo day for Indian this past week. Here is what he rode and his impressions:<br> Springfield<br><br> Scout<br><br> RoadMaster<br><br> DarkHorse<br> Springfield – same engine nice pull, comfortable ride easy to handle, not crazy about handlebar position for my size, same cramped riding position for those 5’11 and taller<br> Scout – Doesn’t feel as small as it is, fun bike, instant power but sluggish top end. Hit the rev limiter earlier than I thought, Fun to ride handles great, wonderful around town or back road local ride bike.<br> RoadMaster — much like the Springfield, liked the handlebar position much better since the bars were in front of me. Side Note – they had a Chieftain with Mini Apes, very comfortable to sit on, was able to take it around the block between rides and I liked the handle bar position the best, seemed to open up the cockpit for the upper body.<br> DarkHorse – I liked this bike the best, Handling of the Springfield great feel, seemed to have a little more shake in the bike, not a ton just not as smooth at idle. Gave me more of a visceral connection to the bike.<br> Ranking the bikes.<br> Scout,<br><br> DarkHorse,<br><br> RoadMaster,<br><br> Springfield<br> After thought : Kevin would love to try a Darkhorse or RoadMaster with Mini Apes on a true test ride.<br> Mail Call:<br><br> Email from Thom<br><br> Email from Scott<br> New Patreon Supporter<br> Please welcome James Providakes to the Throttled Crew!!
