The American brand Indian has honored Alain with a trophy for the 300,000 kilometers carried out on the handlebars of its 1860 chieftaine. A kilometering “downright exceptional”, according to the dealership, and in addition with the same engine.
“I bought it after speeding. The gendarme, who was a friend said to me: I don’t put you fine but, Tuesday, you come with me and we go around the concessions. When I tried this one, I said to myself: This is the best I have tried Today. Let’s go from there. “
“I did all of Europe with”
It was in 2014. Alain then bought the Chieftain 1860 CC from the Indian brand, from Guichard Moto, at Grand M, in Montpellier. Today, the Robust Bécane displays more than 300,000 kilometers on the counter. “I did all of Europe with it, smiles the pilot. It is the mechanical love of my life, it’s my chieftain. I am on the road all the time, every day. If for two weeks I do not drive, I am sick. I know, I’m a little cabourd but it’s like that. “

Mechanical sculptor
Cabourd or passionate. Because man is an artist“mechanical sculptor” as it defines itself, “based on 80 % motorcycle parts” obviously. Residing in Narbonne, very often in a mop on the side of Biarritz or throughout France, he regularly comes to go back and forth to the Montpellier dealership just for coffee. It must be said that the brand even put it in the spotlight in its internal review, to the broadcasting world.
“300,000 km is downright exceptional”
“300,000 km is downright exceptional, underlines Laurent, by Guichard Moto. It is not a surprise because these engines are renowned for their robustness but decided to keep it and go to the end. Yes it is the record of the Indian brand any model confused. And in addition, it is the original engine, it only did current interviews. ” With a small ease due to its rank as a record holder: wherever it is in Europe, Alain and his chieftain benefit from a revision at the expense of the house. Enough to drive for a long time for this biker and his partner.
