December 2022 ride review

MeganBest Providers, Indian News

Indian Chief Dark Horse review by Andy Bisson. 

I did a review over 2 years ago of the Indian Chief Limited so I was keen to see how this compared as whilst I’m not a cruiser type of guy, I did really like the Indian Chief Limited and found it a really easy bike to handle due to the low weight ratio. It was just the forward pegs that put me off.

For a naked bike, this is a real beast. It looks stunning in the grey and black and the finish is superb with Indian putting the effort into the finer detail with subtle finishes like the raised lettering on the tank that really stand out. The front of the bike is really neat and tidy without wires and cables everywhere.

It’s a belt drive which is great and takes away all the maintenance hassle of the chain. It has LED lights which are neat and tidy and in keeping with the bike. The TFT screen is great, keeping the traditional old school look with modern applications. It’s a touch screen or it can be controlled from a switch on the handlebars. It has Bluetooth function for linking to your phone as well as GPS with a great mapping system which is clear to follow. It also comes with ABS, traction control and a keyless system.

Starting her up didn’t disappoint either as it sounds superb with the V-Twin air-cooled 1900cc engine roaring out. It has a very comfortable seat and it low down so ideal for the shorter rider. It has mid-set pegs which I really like as I’m not a fan of forward pegs or plates and I found it a really comfortable sitting position. The bars are wide providing a nice upright riding position.

As I headed out around town, I found it smooth and very easy for balance at slow speeds due to its low weight placement and once I got to grips with the clutch which is quite heavy with little bite, it was quite happy to tick along in traffic. Heading out of town it came into its own and was a delight to ride. I found it very smooth for a V-Twin displaying more character that you would expect from a cruiser rather than a thumping jolt that you get with some others.

As we headed off through St Peters Valley and out west it soon let me know that it was built with low down grunt and the little grin started to appear, reminding me it was time to ease off. The wide handlebars make it easy for cornering and it chewed up the bends with ease.

We did our compulsory trip through waterworks valley and the roads through the bends were embedded with squashed wet leaves providing a challenge for the Chief as we powered through and as I expected (and hoped) the Chief rose to the challenge and didn’t faulter, maintaining a firm grip and a well-balanced ride.

So, what’s my overall thoughts. If I could pick a bike for my Sunday afternoon rides, I think I may have just found it. It broke all my negative thoughts of a cruiser and it sits well above any other that I’ve ridden. A superb bike and well worth a demo ride.

Winter riding

MeganBest Providers, News

Winter riding and staying safe by Andy Bisson

As the temperature drops and the days get shorter with the wind and rain setting in, the question is ‘Do I ride or not?’ This is very much a personal choice with some riders having no alternative transport and others who enjoy riding all year round opposed to those that choose not to ride through the winter and put the bike into hibernation in the garage until the weather improves.

If you do choose to ride all year round and venture out in the winter, you will develop additional skills that will make you a better rider by the time the weather improves but there are some important things to remember.

As well as a change in your riding style which we will cover, it’s important to have the right clothing. Riding in low temperatures (below 10 C) will quickly affect a rider physically as well as mentally if you’re not suitably dressed to keep warm.

Visibility is more important now than ever with visors steaming up and the rain on scratched visors. Make sure you have a visor that isn’t scratched and where possible fit a pin lock.

Wear thin layers to keep your core body warm and this will help keep your hands and feet warmer as well but the best advice I can give, is buy the best winter gloves that you can afford as it will be money well spent. Heated grips are a must for me and heated clothing also helps.

Many riders don’t take into account that your head is a massive source of heat loss and a helmet alone won’t maintain the heat so wear a neck warmer or balaclava to keep the heat in.

Remember its not just the air temperature that you are having to combat but also the wind chill factor. When riding at 20 mph at temperatures of 3 degree, it can feel more like -3 degrees.

It’s also important to be seen and whilst many riders don’t like hi-vis, it’s about protecting yourself from other motorists that just don’t seem to see motorcyclists. Many bikes have small headlights and motorists seem to see past these when pulling out of junctions so anything you can do to increase your visibility has got to be a bonus.

It’s very important to check that your bike is winter ready. Check your tyres to ensure they have good tread and no damage. Check the pressures regularly as these can alter often in cold weather. Make sure your fluids are topped up, your lights are working and your chain is clean and well lubricated.

And now it’s down to how you ride. Wet, leafy or icy roads will not provide the same grip as when riding in the summer so you need to adjust how you ride. Reduce your speed and increase your distance from the vehicle in front providing a greater stopping distance. Give yourself time and space to adapt and react to changing situations so you can deal with emerging hazards without increasing risks to yourself.

And last but not least, if it’s snowing, find another way to travel. Riding in the snow is going to not only put yourself at greater risk, you increase the risk for other motorists. Vehicles with 4 wheels struggle in snowy conditions so don’t be the fool risking everything on 2 wheels. Stay safe and keep your bike safe so that you can enjoy the ride another day.
