    The rain has been spotty. You can tell where it has hit and where they need rain. Area's of corn look good and some not so good. We've been getting a little rain here and there. Supposed to get about a 1/2" this Sunday. That should go a long way.

    I say that Polaris needs to buy that bike from you for $1,000,000 and put it on display.

    I think they’d rather spend it on racing rather than reliability. I see the Facebook post of my odometer pic got at least 3,500 Likes and was shared more than 350 times. As far as the number of views it got, I’m still waiting for a reply on the number from Polaris, but I expect it to be around 100,000. Most all the comments were positive and totaled over 350. However, it’s true that if you win on Sunday, you sell on Monday ! If I get a Million, I’ll split it with you guys, because your support means more to me than any dollar amount or social media attention ! God bless you all ! Larry Swenson

    I received an email from Indian Motorcycle this afternoon saying the Facebook post of my odometer pic received over 250,000 views and is still climbing a little bit. He also stated that they got some phone calls asking if the pic was for real ! I told him it’s about time I confess that the pic is photoshopped,,,,,,, it’s true,,,,,, I really did take that PHOTO in my SHOP !! Larry

    They ought to at least sponsor you on your next 500,000 mi bike (or will it be 1,000,000 mi?).

    Doing 500,000 mi in 10 yrs, or less, in my estimation, is quite a feat.

    I think it would be hard to PhotoShop that odo reading and make it look authentic. I'm pretty adept at spotting fakes.

    I have a connection with an Indian Motorcycle Owner Connection Team Representative that worked with me on the Facebook post. They are a bridge between the company and the owners. If the owner has a problem or dispute with their dealership or warranty claim or practically anything to do with ownership, they will do their best to help. The phone number is 800-765-2747,,,,,, Monday- Friday,,,,,,,8am-6pm Central Standard Time. I do not know how to post the proper link,,, but when you are on an Indian Motorcycle website,,,,,scroll down to the very bottom where you can’t scroll any further and usually there’s a place to click on that says CONTACT US. They will usually reply in less than 3 days through your email or phone number. This has been an excellent source for assistance in a wide range of motorcycle issues and questions. They are extremely busy, but always attentive and polite, and do their best to respond and resolve. Hope this helps !

    I did go on Indian Motorcycle.Com and scroll until you see Owner Resources,,,,,then under there click on Help Center and it will give you the choices.
