R
oland Sands and his mob of motorcycle misfits have
been making bikes that have no real reason to go
fast or very fast indeed.
Using exquisite craftsmanship and plenty of piss and vin-
egar, the RSD crew has created not just quick bikes but an
entire motorcycle movement, one that's spread its fangs
out from the early days of Super Hooligan flat track racing
to desert racing, and now road racing.
The bike before you is an evolution of what makes RSD
tick. This machine started out life as your run-of-the-mill
2022 $14,499 Indian Chief cruiser before it was handed to
Shop Manager and lead fabricator Aaron Boss and Project
Manager Cameron Brewer, and turned into what can only
be described as the most bad-ass Indian Chief ever seen.
And I was the first one to race it.
That opportunity came at the first (and so far, only)
Bagger Racing League round held at Utah Motorsports
Campus in June in the Big Twins class that supported the
full-blown Baggers. But more on that later.
AN INDIAN CHIEF SHOULD
MAKE THE PERFECT ROAD
RACER, RIGHT? ERR…
