I politely confirmed that he was aware of the fact that Strider balance bikes didn’t have engines (yes, he’d noticed) – then reached out to Tyler at Low Brow.

Rick Fairless’s Strider Rider Custom
Rick Fairless’s far out, tie-dyed sensibilities belie his early adopter attitude. See, there’s nothing retro about Rick’s awareness of cool opportunities. That’s why the Flying Piston Builders Breakfast organizers (Jeff Najar and Marilyn Stemp) were delighted but not surprised that Rick stepped up before anyone else to customize a Strider balance bike to be unveiled at the 4th annual Sturgis Buffalo Chip breakfast event.

Indian Motorcycle announcing that it will indeed be bringing an FTR 1200 to market
The bike takes inspiration from Indian’s dominating flat track racing bike, the FTR750 and the FTR1200 Custom concept bike. That said, the new bike is truly designed for the street, taking cues from its predecessors but with a street-focused look that’s all its own. No official launch date has been released yet. That said, the FTR 1200 will be part of Indian Motorcycle’s 2019 product line.
Ever since the FTR750 hit the track, racing fans and motorcycle enthusiasts have been clamoring for a street version that they could call their own. That anticipation intensified this past year with the debut of the FTR1200 Custom, which has traveled to dozens of motorcycle shows, teasing riders across the globe.
Indian also announced a sweepstakes surrounding the FTR 1200 that will give riders the chance to enter to win one of the first bikes off the assembly line. Riders can visit the corresponding URL for a chance to win the highly anticipated new model.

If you know me, personally, I am a huge fan of history, especially Northern European & American Civil & World Wars. However, I am also a huge fan of the Harley-Davidson legacy. Myself like many others, we knew of the families growing up, bought bikes, and lived the dream, but for me it really wasn’t until I watched the movie “Harley & the Davidson’s” that I really understood all that transpired from those early days (1903) until today.
