This is the first video my editor Maria did in front of the camera, and I hope she and Whitney will do plenty more next year, helping me not miss so many Friday's. I loved how she made the video. What do you think? If you missed our road trip together, watch it here 👉th-cam.com/video/QJxaE9UpO1A/w-d-xo.html
If a gum manufacturer had a flavor, what would you call it? Juicy Fruit, Double Mint, Big Red? Well, she nailed it! This is great! Triple the content, triple the fun, and 3 times better. (Sorry… ah, not sorry Doodle). I hope they join forces with you to do more videos.
I have a 2022 Indian Scout Rogue (basically a Bobber). All you do is change the seat, handlebars, and rear shocks and put some bags on. I am 5’3” and it is my mini bagger. It is very comfortable. I road 8 hour days to Colorado from Chicago and it was like a couch with my Progressive 444 standard duty 11.5” shocks, Dean Speed 12” Matador handlebars, and Corbin Brave Highback seat with Ovalback backrest. I added Viking Spirit Blade saddlebags as well.
I’m currently looking to replace the stock seat on my 2018 scout sixty. What seat did you end up going with? I’m trying to do the same with my bike and make it road trip worthy.
"Whatchu doin all that revving for?!" The way she smiles, like a little kid- sharing the two wheeled love and spreading joy is what I'm here for! Loving it, Team Doodle :)
Doodle you have got to interview Moto Giant! He lost his leg / amputation and has a video talking about it. Next video his first ride back in the saddle with the new prosthetic and the modifications needed to ride again. His a hero of courage. 😊
in 2023 my girlfriend and I rode from Kansas to Alaska and back. I was on my Street Glide and she on her Ultra. On the return trip at the Alaska Canada border, we met a couple on their way home also. He was on a Harley Tri Glide and she was on an Indian Scout. They were heading back to Either Tennessee or Kentucky, I can't remember which. She was loaded down and had no issues with the long trip. Ride what works for you.
Had my Scout romance. Beautiful bike. Eye-catching everywhere I went. Torky, too. Suffered in the rideability. Tippy for such a low-profile bike. Really frantic at highway speeds. Not buzzy, frantic. Like being pulled down the road by a bottle rocket. DEFINITELY not a road-trip bike.
Good video! As an Indian rider, I will echo and say that the Bobber bikes were my least favorite on Indian demo days. I've owned a Scout and still own my Super Chief Limited and my Springfield. The Springfield is my favorite but I've had a tougher problem finding a comfortable seat.
You Doodle chose wisely..... while the bobber is small and fun to ride locally but it's not the bike to do any LD rides. Still I'm glad y'all had a great time together!!!! Ride safe, Be Blessed and have a great Thanksgiving!!!!
I had a 2021 Indian Scout, for a while. I'm 5'9" inches tall, but always wanted to sit farther, and wanted the bars closer. With good exhaust it was great around town, but not so good on twisty roads or long trips. Traded it for a Kawasaki 2021 Z900RS, which is much more versatile. No plans to trade in that bike, ever.
Oh, this is gonna be great! Having the three of you joining forces (on camera) is going to be triple the fun and a video experience that is 3 times better than before. (Sorry Doodle). As this video unfolds, let me grab my popcorn and take a seat, because I already know where this is going. My first Indian purchase was a 2022 Scout Bobber ICON ABS (blue smoke). I fell in love with the blue/black matte paint scheme and being just a twig taller than doodle this bike fits. Let me now preface that I know why the owner made the modifications he did. I won’t spoil it here, but I will say that I have since traded it in for a 2025 Indian 101 Scout that I had built. Although I miss the sound of the V&H 3” slash exhaust over the cat-restricted leaf blower exhaust of the 101 Scout, many of the modifications and upgrades from the Bobber were done on the 101. Indian listened to our gripes and complaints and made the changes on the ‘25 year line up. I am eager and excited to travel along with your journey and experience and see how it plays out. BTW, yes I ride H-D as well (for work and play).
I spent about 5 hours on a rental Scout and my back was was pretty sore after. The way the seat locks you in place makes it impossible to get any relief by scooting one way or the other. Seems to be less of a problem for shorter riders. Fun bike for quick rips though.
I can understand long rides on the wrong bike. Try Charlottesville, Va to Daytona Beach, Fl on a Suzuki GSXR 600. Talk about back pain, but luckily I was on 27 at the time.
In other words, after you replace the seat, the handlebars, the footpegs, and suspension, and add some luggage carrying capability (and maybe add some real fenders), a bobber can actually be a great bike!
My back hurts just thinking about it! I have a Softail Slim (bobber, my first Harley) and he’s now just my cruiser bike around town. I take my Road Glide out for the road trips. You got to start somewhere though! Great video!
Great little video. Kept a good pace and had good commentary. As for the bikes it went about how I expected. People talk down on metric cruisers but they still bring a lot of bang for the buck. That Suzuki is a solid highway bike. I rented one on a business trip a couple years ago and thought it was comfortable. The Indian by far(to me) was the best looking bike of the 3 I was a little concerned because she did look almost like a folded lawn chair on it but I'm glad it worked out. As for the chopper not really my thing but I'm sure it was more of a box checker without the commitment of buying one.(One of the best reasons to use a bike rental service) Another great video.👍
I have a similar model (K6S) AGV helmet. I recently purchased a off-brand "transitions" type visor for it from eBay. Used it all last summer, worked great. Was less than $75. Also agree that the Scout Bobber is not the best bike for roadtrips. My wife has a 2022 which I've ridden a few times. It has no storage, no wind protection and the OE rear suspension is spine jarring. Fantastic bike otherwise. I'll look into the suspension mods you mentioned! Ride safe.
The only bike I have ever rented was an Indian scout bobber. And yes, on Rider's share. I am 5'8" with an inseam of only 28 inches. But I've owned a KTM 1190 adventure, so I have learned the tricks of riding a tall bike. As you say in this video, the bike looks, sounds, and rides great. But the one I rode had a suspension so stiff it felt like a hard tail. Just a crack in the pavement sent a jolt through my spine. Now my cruiser is a triumph rocket iii, and I have none of those issues. Instead, I wish they made a handlebar risers for that bike.
Great video. Maria needs to start her own channel. She's very good on camera and with VO stuff. Or you can keep her as part of your channel I guess. : ) Was that Spite's friend hanging out with you two?
A beautiful motorcycle indeed!. Which motorcycle to buy is based on how you plan [90% of the time] to ride it. There are different motorcycles for weekend warriors, daily commuters and long-haul adventure riders. I own a Triumph Bobber equipped with small saddle bags and can wear a small backpack for those longer rides. Would I recommend it for cross-country rides, no. Would I take it out for a weekend to a week ride, yes!
Haven’t done 500 miles but did about 250 on my sportster s. Have a fairing and seat cushion with extended bars. Will be getting mini apes to help with arm ergos
I am curious as to what you consider a "500 mile road trip"? Did you do this in one day or multi day? I have an Indian Roadmaster and a Harley Road King which can both breeze through 500 mile days. But I impressed my 75 year old self more by riding my Honda Grom 300 miles in 7 hours last month.😊
We rode to the Devil's Triangle it over 2 days only cause we left so late the first night 😜 all our filming and stopping made that 5 hr drive take us about 9 hrs 😂
Imagine a 350 mile 1 day trip , 2 up aboard a 72 Honda CL 450. I was lucky to be driving. Jim wasn't, he was my passenger. Our riding buddy Ron was aboard a 74 Yamaha RD 250 { 2 stroke }. In the late 60s Ron would ride his Honda 90 from Birmingham, AL. to Panama City, FL. Imagine a group of 2 stroke Enduro bikes, ranging from 125 cc to 360 cc, making a 4 hour trip to the beach. One Yamaha 175 didn't complete the 4 hour trip home and was sold along the road. What can I say, we were young, and looking for adventure. Keep those wheels turning.
people were tougher then - no a/c in cars, manual steering/brakes, no a/c in houses, etc And we didn't know better...once I got a yahama venture i never want to do a long trip on anything other than a full dresser.
The seat is the only issue. I’ve ridden my 2019 scout bobber on a 4 day bike trip. Put over 800 miles on it that weekend. Just gotta change out the stock seat. Even the Indian comfort seat is no good. Oh, and the tires. Those oem tires are horrible.
im always confused why ppl go for the bobber instead of the classic scout. i know its ABIT cheaper but the regular scout seems so much more livable. but im just happy a indian was in the roadtrip, Shes a beautyyy~
"across state lines"? Was she an outlaw??? I liked your video with the ladies and changing up the rented bikes. Good choice. Would be nice to see more of these 3 person rides together with you doing history and also tell us about the bikes. When you going to do some off road only, motocross and jumping bikes?
The 10" mini-apes, swept back, are cheap and TERRIFIC for comfort. For extra-short riders, the reduced-reach set will help even more. The tallest factory windscreen also does a great job of wind protection at highway speeds, and it's QR so you can take it off fast and easy for shorter trips.
I need the seating position of my R1250GSA to ride more than 50 miles… I can barely stand riding across Atlanta with my Harley, but I still give it some time.
I've been looking to moving from my MT09 to something more chill. I checked out the 2025 Sport Scout, the Rebel 1100 and the Harley Street Bob. I test rode a Rebel 1100 and it was pretty comfortable, there are a few changes I would make of course, but overall it was fine. I didn't get to test ride the other ones, but the Indian felt very uncomfortable the reach to the handlebars. Even tho the Sport scout comes with a 6" risers, I am a short rider and it felt like I was laying on the tank to reach the bars, and with forward controls that did not feel comfortable at all. I don't get why this bike doesn't come standard with at least some 10 inch pull back risers or mini apes. That tank is crazy long. Not to mention the price that here in California, out the door the Sport Scout + tech is over 19k, compared to a Rebel 1100 which would be around 12k. Yes the indian looks better and more refined, but 7k is a big chunk of money, and just to add 10 inch risers parts alone are over $600 (the dealer gave me a quote for that) not including installation.
@@aluisious Those are mounted off the forward controls and rest on or very close to the frame. The part that looks like a radiator is actually part of the frame and the radiator sits in between the two down "tubes". There is also a shroud there that adds to the illusion. Hope that makes sense!
500 miles? For that, I'd take my 2000 Kawasaki Concours, or my '97 Honda PC800, or even my '09 BMW F650GS before I'd take the Scout, which in terms of tiny seat and minimal suspension would probably be similar to my '20 Iron 1200, which would also be my last choice among my bikes for that length of a trip!
What bothers me with the bike, is that it is so low, it is hard for traffic to see you....you simply get lost in traffic, more so than with a taller bike, and that could be life altering issue
I was always told that motorcyclers striped all the non extra parts of their motorcyclers and called them choppers. Bobbers is a more recented name. I could be wrong.
@@smilingbiter Choppers are "custom" bikes put through the chop shop into art. Personal expression is the point of choppers not stripped down efficiency. Bobbers are cut down.
@@MalfosRanger Funny thing is I had a chopper, 1947 FL74 Knuckle Head that I build in to in 1969. They were called choppers then and before then. I learned then that they we're by stripping down garbage trucks, regular full head Harleys. Then I had a '63 Pan head that I was building a chopper, this was another garbage truck. I had to sell it before I finished it. I never called them Bobbers back then. I guess my '63 Pan Head would be considered a Bobber as it was pretty much stock but stripped down to just the basics, no extented forks.
Dont know that it was a BIG mistake. If it had been stock... thats a big mistake. It has a lot of upgrades too.... so it's not really a bobber anymore really. I mean with the upgrades its more like a scout or a chief.
Is anyone else getting tired of all the paid advertising for flying eyes from every moto channel? Looked at them in person at Barber during race week, was not impressed.

Seat is necessity. All the rest just adds to the comfort factor. I couldn’t ride for longer than 45 min on the Indian comfort seat. Terrible seat.

I’ve been really in love with the looks of that bike for a while now, but I’m 6’4”. I guess I should just give up the dream.
Great video 👍👌
Love the wrench microphone holder!
I like the doodle poodle hair 🤙

You should do a video where you introduce your crew.
We did that in the road trip video 😜 2 weeks ago thinking of doing a livestream too with them though for some more look into them

I have a ‘21 bobber 20 with the mini apes and I have to get off it after about 45 min. And one bump or pot hole and you’ll need a chiropractor 😂
It definitely needs risers for an upright position and a better seat.
I need the seating position of my R1250GSA to ride more than 50 miles…
I can barely stand riding across Atlanta with my Harley, but I still give it some time.
I was thinking I'd be quite happy to ride that bike 500 miles.
what's with the different wrench sizes on the microphone? Was that to see if we were paying attention or just having some fun! 😉
Im always thrown by people whos goal is to make motorcycle riding, feel like chillin on a couch.
#longdistanceriders 😉
Lovely Looking bike. ❤️
I did a 1000-mile tour on a CZ 175 in the 70s.
Don't know what all the fuss is about.
That Samuel L Jackson cameo though... 😂

Nice bike . But I like yours better . Done the devil's triangle as well.
Are those "frame sliders" connected to the radiator? Is the shroud of the radiator actually heavy steel and a frame member?
What's going on with that?

What a looker, bike is pretty sweet too
LOL
Nice video. That scout does look good! But…..not worth the back pain.
a windshield might be nice on a long ride
Looks like a great bike, maybe not the best choice but definitely not the worst either 👍
I would take my triumph bobber 500 miles. It's comfortable for me at 6'
OMG
What bothers me with the bike, is that it is so low, it is hard for traffic to see you....you simply get lost in traffic, more so than with a taller bike, and that could be life altering issue

I’d be more nervous on the chopper.

how is it not comfortable enough? 500 miles is nothing seriously long.

bruh that ain't shatterproof you gonna get a shard of glass (or plastic) in yo' eyeball
But, look how many "UPGRADES" had to be done to this bike to make it................Such a waste of $ , in the first place
