  • They say it's never easy to admit when you're wrong. Well when you're this wrong it's pretty easy! Thank you to Polaris for being so cool about everything and being so easy to work with!

    Everyone makes mistakes, but honest people with integrity are the ones who can stand up and admit one and apologize. Well done, brother.

    You owning up to your mistake, only makes me have greater trust in you. We are all actually only human after all. And it appears you too learned a great lesson.

    @davewilton3101 Před 8 měsíci

    Well done.
    I have a Challenger and last year had an issue that had it in the shop for 2+ months. Sh!t happens. Through it all the Indian company was totally upfront, absolutely no BS, worked with the dealership and resolved the situation to my complete satisfaction. Indian is a no BS company so i'm not surprised in the least they worked with you. Plus they build quality bikes.

    Mistakes happen. You corrected it. If you still hang at Timm’s HD, tell Amanda and Ken that Tim says hello. I worked with both of them at Black Sheep HD in Huntington, WV a few years back.

  • @davidcook7816
    @davidcook7816 Před 8 měsíci +1

    Yes, I saw the SAME THING in another video about Harley Davidson prior to your video. It had me concerned and I even sent a link to my dealer . Then I saw the Indian video. That's when I questioned the validity of both videos. You did the right thing by owning up to being duped into thinking this was going to happen. I admit, it really looked like a real story. What needs to happen now is for Harley and Indian try to find the origin on this fiasco and go after them. Thanks for a great channel!!!

    As far as I'm concerned it takes a strong man to stand up and say I was wrong.👍👍

    Im actually 3 months sober and a big part of the program is Self Accountability. I dont know if you are as well but its very Stoic of you to own up Blair. Great video. I love Indian bikes. I didnt know you made that video. Ive seen videos stating the same about Harley which I don’t believe. Hey at least Indian hasnt made “Billiard Grey” their Base color 😂

    Classy move to admit a mistake.

  • @HarleyDayRider
    @HarleyDayRider Před 8 měsíci

    We all do this as CZcams content creators; we rush to be the first to break a story. As you say, the first video out will get the views. It is hard to fact-check when we are first because no one else knows these stories. I know about the video you talked about. This channel also talked about all motorcycle brands going DTC. We will all have to wait until the companies make the official announcement before we can report on this topic. And hey, for every 100 right, we can get one wrong occasionally. Ride Safe

    Hey I am a HD lover as well and I am like you if it wasn’t for Indian Harley would be coasting. But since Indian is out there keeping the Harley boys working. That a good thing. But we all step in a pile of dog crap once in a while. No worries!

    @JackPanitch-hy1ws Před 8 měsíci

    Find reliable people and stick with them. I recently watched a guy do a completely fake “how to” video. The tell wasn’t something he could sweep under the rug, and I guess the point has something to do with the bad intent out there and reducing our gullibility to something more discerning. Anyway, based on your content and track record, I’m sticking with you.

  • @spartanx169x
    @spartanx169x Před 8 měsíci

    There is a channel that has popped up in the last few months that all it puts out is lies about one manufacturer or another. The Voice over is AI. And the videos look really convincing. I blocked the channel completely so I have forgotten the name of the channel. the channel had videos on HD, Honda and others and EVERY SINGLE Video is a lie.

  • @davidknows3320
    @davidknows3320 Před 8 měsíci

    Very cool to own up to a mistake. Polaris ought to try it. amazing you got a phone number to call, they shield the customer out and only respond when they want to. Worst company to deal with.

    I checked in and I see you got a decent microphone, but you still have terrible sounding room reverb. There are too many other options for me to listen to bad sound. You need a filter to clip the harsh end of your audio also.

  • @RayfordRaySiegel
    @RayfordRaySiegel Před 8 měsíci

    For short and sweet and to the point as possible, you sure did beet around the bush, not directly stating anything. You only indirectly told us what you were referring to. And saying "...this is me publicly apologizing..." is not actually an apology. There are two words for it. Next time, please explain clearly what is and isn't true, and without prefacing it so much.

    @theonlyredspecial Před 8 měsíci

    Wow a CZcams channel who admits a mistake. That’s unusual. 👍🏻 (I bet they wouldn’t). But a bit of research before making such a huge claim is always a good idea.

  • @naughtybikertv
    @naughtybikertv Před 8 měsíci

    Great job falling on your sword. That BS story, as I understand it, had its origins in Artificial Intelligence (AI) content production in which Harley also was targeted with the same false information. I almost fell victim to passing it along on my own , MUCH SMALLER, CZcams channel. As AI becomes more sophisticated it becomes extremely important that we become more skeptical. I'm a motorcyclist enthusiast and not a brand enthusiast. As everyone knows competition breeds success. The more manufacturers the better.

  • @vilohdi7189
    @vilohdi7189 Před 8 měsíci

    I do enjoy your channel and for the most part I would consider your content trustworthy and legitimate…until these last two videos and I feel obligated to put you in check. I won’t mention the channel that posted the “Indian Going out of Business” video, but ALL HD CZcamsrs are fully aware of the inaccuracies of its content. Y’all also are aware that it’s strictly an AI generated channel and uses Google analytics to determine what content will drive us stupid humans to click on. Yes TB, I know for a fact that you are aware. It also makes perfect sense for you to repost this. It seems as Google A was dead right as you ramped up on the quantity of views. I would expect the real story to fall from your mouth and recant this BS explanation.

  • @bernardlesperance742
    @bernardlesperance742 Před 8 měsíci

    One of the most abused words today. Journalist (and journalism). Anyone with at least half a brain and that has reached or is approaching middle age recalls and understands what the term properly means. Most others - with less than half a brain and still relatively young - would appear to not have a clue. You can blame the internet and social media for that, where legit credentials and quality training/education appear to hold little to no value and where ignorantia reigns supreme. God help us.

    • @spartanx169x
      @spartanx169x Před 8 měsíci

      Credentials? Credentials as you call them has resulted in all if main stream media doing nothing but what they are told. You don't need a college degree or any other credential to report factual information. But to gain legitimacy and a following, it does have to be facts be reported. Anybody is capable of doing it. Credentials are just a means of gatekeeping what is reported to allow censorship.

    Oh those Indians are behind every tree😂. I’m a huge Indian guy and Harley guy as well. I had an Indian buy back recently and was transparent on what happened. My daughter who is 19 and Harley lover took me back to the Harley brand. I purchased my first ever Indian 2020 Dark Horse Road Master aka HD Limited in disguise. Indian ruined it for me with HD and totally went Indian and in some ways trashed HD for years.. and I have owned all the CVOs from 2012 thru 2018 and now have the new 23 CVO. I had a terrible experience with the Indian Pursuit and has taking me over 4 months to have them buy the bike back. I have a lot of motorcycles and videos sharing all my love and just found your channel and have subscribed. I just picked up a Breakout I have wanted for years and wow BAD ASS😎
    Christmas Eve Breakout Ride….WOW a great bike😎
