Garcia Indian Motorcycle

I'm Aaron Colton and I'm Frankie Garcia. Welcome to the next episode of Bagger Myths. In our first two episodes we focused on the ass But now we want to focus on the rider, which brings us to our next Bagger Myth. You have to be big and tall to ride a bagger. It's an easy ass You see a big bike with a big fairing and big bags on the back. You immediately ass But that's just not the case. I mean, look at our boy Frankie. He's not what you'd call tall. And Aaron, look at those guns. Not really what you'd call powerful. The truth is, bagger riders can come in all shapes and sizes and that's because of the way the bikes were designed. On our last episode we dove into design and how it results in high performance riding capability. Things All of these things make a bagger much easier to handle, even if you're not built But instead of more technical jargon from Aaron, this time we're going right to the source. A group of real Indian motorcycle riders that shatter this myth. As much as I'd So let's hear their stories. My name's Jeff. I am five foot seven. I've been riding a bagger for a little over a year. I own an Indian Challenger and I've never been happy. I'm Georgia. I'm five, two and a half. I started riding a bagger about ten years ago. My name is Reed. I'm five six. I've ridden lots of different bikes and I gotta say, baggers are very well balanced. They're easy to handle. They're easy to maneuver. They just feel really good. I am Tina and I'm five four on a good day and five three quarters on a bad day. I've been riding baggers for probably about three years now. I am currently on a twenty one Indian chieftain dark horse and it happens every single day. When I'm on my bike is believe it or not, oh my God, do you ride that? Literally when I get off of it. How can you handle that bike? You're so small and then after that and you're a female, which I absolutely love. I don't get upset about those questions. What I love to do is I love to educate anybody who asks me those questions and I take that time to talk about a bagger. First experience riding a bagger was surprising. I mean it was really easy to maneuver. The biggest surprise was how easy it was to turn and make U turns. It's balanced so it's really easy to maneuver and control. I can fit both my feet on the ground and I have control of the bike, which is very important. I've ridden a lot of different bikes and this is my dream bike. I get on this bike and it's a luxury vehicle. You've got controls. You've got heated grips. You've got music. You've got speed control. Having the bagger makes it where my adventures can go even further than they already do. I'm able to go much, much further, a lot less going where it's the next gas station. Also, how am I going to carry all this stuff on the bike? I'm able to lock it in the auto locking bags on the Indian chalder which are fantastic. Easy going in and out of the stores and all this wind protection and having it all off the handlebars has been absolutely a dream. I don't have that wind hitting my chest. Yeah, we all love being in the wind but having all that block is a lot more relaxing on those long trips and I couldn't see not having a bagger in my life. It doesn't matter how small you are, how tall you are, you just have to have the want and the need and the love to do it. So there you have it. These four riders totally shattered the myth that you have to be a certain size or strength to handle a bagger. If five foot four inch Tina can ride the tires off her bagger, it'safe to say that almost anyone can. So for everyone out there thinking they're not big or strong enough to ride a bagger, don't go selling yourself short. Go test ride a bagger and see for yourself. And thanks for hanging with us. We'll catch you on the next episode of Bagger Myths.
