It's a trucking story that's getting tragically familiar. An illegal alien was arrested last week in Indiana after losing control of a tractor trailer he was driving and driving into oncoming traffic -- killing a driver heading the other way, according to news reports. It's the latest in a string...

Harley-Davidson and Indian offer two different takes on the bagger with a handlebar-mounted batwing-style fairing. Both are heavily laden with curb appeal and the latest tech, but despite their similarities, one rises to the top. (Photos by Kevin Wing) We love a good, old-fashioned rivalry. Army vs. Navy. Ford vs. Chevy. Coke vs. Pepsi. And of course, Harley-Davidson vs. Indian. Two of the oldest American motorcycle brands – Harley-Davidson was founded in 1903 and has operated continuously ever since; Indian was founded in 1901, went bankrupt in 1953, and was resurrected in fits and starts until Polaris Industries took over in 2011 – have been fierce rivals in terms of design and engineering, sales at dealerships, and racing in multiple disciplines. Harley-Davidson Street Glide (left) and Indian Chieftain PowerPlus (right) King Of The Baggers Since 2021, Harley and Indian have battled it out in what was once an unthinkable class of racing: King Of The Baggers. Harley-Davidson Road Glides and Indian Challengers weighing more than 620 lb and equipped with stock-looking fairings and saddlebags slice and dice at Daytona, Road America, Laguna Seca, and other racetracks nationwide. The racebikes may look like those you see on showroom floors, but they’re highly modified, achieving speeds up to 185 mph and lean angles up to 55 degrees (compared to 32 degrees for a stock bagger). Which one of these touring baggers will be crowned king? KOTB has been wildly popular, and the Harley/Indian rivalry over the past five seasons has been tit-for-tat. The championship winner has alternated every year, with Harley earning three titles (2021, 2023, and 2025) and Indian earning two (2022 and 2024). In classic “win on Sunday, sell on Monday” fashion, Harley and Indian invest heavily in KOTB because they hope to sell more motorcycles to people like us. Both the Harley and Indian have comfortable seating positions with footboards. The year before the KOTB series kicked off, we compared the Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special and the then-new Indian Challenger Limited. The Challenger won by decision due to its superior engine performance, ride quality, comfort, wind protection, and standard features. The Indian is longer and has a more spacious cockpit. For KOTB racing, Harley and Indian run baggers with frame-mounted fairings, but in terms of retail sales, their baggers with handlebar-mounted fairings – Harley’s Street Glide and Indian’s Chieftain – are more popular. For 2025, Indian introduced the Chieftain PowerPlus, a model mashup that combines the Chieftain’s fairing and the Challenger’s liquid-cooled PowerPlus V-Twin. Also new this year, in addition to the 108ci (1,768cc) version of the PowerPlus, Indian offers a 112ci (1,835cc) version, the same displacement used in its KOTB racebikes (but certainly not tuned the same!). For bikes that weigh more than 800 lb, both comport themselves well on curvy backroads and cornering clearance is rarely an issue. Standard equipment on Indian’s PowerPlus 112 models includes a 6-axis IMU with SmartLean Technology (lean-sensitive ABS and traction control), electronically linked brakes, hill-hold control, remote locking saddlebags, and the radar-enabled Rider Assist Package with blind-spot and tailgate warnings and rear-collision warning lights. Behind the fairing is a 7-inch touchscreen TFT display with Indian’s Ride Command infotainment system, which includes an audio system, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, navigation with traffic updates, tire-pressure monitoring, and customizable displays. 2025 Indian Chieftain PowerPlus 112 Dark Horse When the Harley-Davidson Street Glide was updated in 2024, it lost weight, gained power, added rear suspension travel, and got a fresh look, with more modern, sculpted lines on its batwing fairing and saddlebags. Similar to the Indian, the Harley’s standard Rider Safety Enhancements electronic package includes electronically linked brakes, cornering ABS, traction control, Drag Torque Slip Control, and hill-hold control. The Harley isn’t available with radar-enabled safety features, but its 12.3-inch touchscreen TFT display is massive and includes customizable displays and infotainment capabilities like those on the Indian. 2025 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Start Your Engines Although Harley’s Milwaukee-Eight 117 V-Twin has liquid-cooled cylinder heads and wins the displacement arms race – 1,923cc vs. 1,835cc for the PowerPlus 112 – Indian’s fully liquid-cooled, higher-compression powerplant was dominant on Jett Tuning’s rear-wheel dyno. As shown in the chart, the Indian outguns the Harley throughout the rev range, and its advantage increases with revs above 3,000 rpm. Peak figures for the Harley – 84.2 hp at 4,600 rpm and 112 lb-ft of torque at 3,200 rpm – are respectable, but the Indian blows them away: 110.6 hp at 5,500 rpm and 122.8 lb-ft at 3,400 rpm. As with most modern motorcycles, these big baggers use throttle-by-wire to meter fuel and air, and selectable ride modes that adjust throttle response and other parameters are standard – Road, Sport, Rain, and Custom on the Harley; Standard, Sport, and Rain on the Indian. Both have 6-speed transmissions with slip/assist clutches and maintenance-free belt final drive. The Milwaukee-Eight 117 makes less power than the PowerPlus 112, but it sounds and feels sweet. These baggers truly are big. Fueled up and ready to ride, the Indian tips the scales at 842 lb while the Harley weighs 811 lb. That 31-lb weight difference amounts to less than 4% of the Harley’s mass, but it feels much lighter when lifting it off the sidestand and pushing it around. The Indian is not only heavier, it’s also longer, stretching 65.7 inches between the axles versus 64 inches on the Harley. And from nose to tail, the Indian is almost a half-foot longer: 98.5 inches vs. 92.9. From the saddle, the Harley feels more compact, with the handlebar, fairing, and footboards closer to the rider than on the Indian. The PowerPlus 112 cranks out a lot of power, but it can feel rough at high revs. King of the Road Spec sheets and dyno charts are one thing, but in a comparison test the rubber needs to meet the road. Longtime contributor and friend of the magazine Thad Wolff and I filled the top-loading saddlebags and headed north, with photographer Kevin Wing chasing us on a third bike. Both baggers have nearly 70 liters of storage capacity, and their fairings include storage compartments with USB ports for charging smartphones. We appreciated the convenience of the Indian’s remote-locking saddlebags; the Harley’s bags require a key to lock. We plotted a route that was a greatest-hits list of Southern California backroads: SR-33 through Los Padres National Forest, SR-58 across the Carrizo Plain, the short but diabolical SR-229 (aka Rossi’s Driveway), and Carmel Valley Road, a rural two-lane that curves, dips, and climbs from the agricultural fields of the Salinas Valley to the Pacific Coast. We also threw in some freeway miles on U.S. Route 101 for good measure. The Indian has a more traditional dash with analog gauges and a 7-inch TFT display. Its shorty windscreen is electrically adjustable. The Indian PowerPlus 112’s torque advantage, which ranges from 6 lb-ft at 2,100 rpm to more than 20 lb-ft above 4,800 rpm, is certainly felt from the saddle. Even though the Chieftain carries some extra weight, it launches off the line and accelerates with more gusto than the Street Glide. That’s what most riders love about big V-Twins, the ability to drop the hammer with a quick twist of the wrist regardless of gear, and the Indian delivers in spades. But once you hit the Chieftain’s torque peak around 3,400 rpm, engine vibration becomes more pronounced, which can feel coarse depending on throttle position. What the Harley lacks in absolute grunt it makes up for in smoothness. Not a dull or boring smoothness, but a finely tuned thrum. We’ll admit, our pace was not what you’d call relaxed cruising. Thad is a mellow dude, but he’s also a former AMA Superbike racer, so even when he’s going slow he’s pretty darn fast. I’ve never been a racer, but my default mode is overcaffeinated and impatient, so I like to burn carbon off the cylinders whenever I can. Our fuel economy suffered, but our spirits soared. The Harley’s 12.3-inch TFT display is impressive. The rider can’t see through the dark, nonadjustable windscreen. What surprised us was how well these big baggers did when pushed hard on technical backroads. Not for lack of trying, we rarely scraped their footboards. The weight of heavy fairings on their handlebars didn’t adversely affect handling, and their tires – Dunlop Harley-Davidson Series (D408/D407) on the Street Glide and Metzeler Cruistecs on the Chieftain – provided reassuring grip on pavement of varying quality. Comfort-wise, however, the Indian clearly outshines the Harley. The Chieftain’s single rear shock with 4.5 inches of suspension travel soaks up hard hits much better than the Street Glide’s dual shocks with 3 inches of travel. And although both baggers have wide, deeply dished seats, the Indian’s is more supportive. The Harley’s lighter weight and shorter wheelbase give it an edge in terms of handling. The Harley-Davidson Street Glide dips into corners, carves around hairpins, and does tight U-turns more readily than the comparatively ponderous Chieftain. Both bikes are dead-nuts stable on straight roads regardless of speed (and both have standard cruise control), and it is during highway cruising when the Chieftain’s more spacious cockpit is appreciated. The rider can stretch out more, and the Indian’s longer footboards provide more options for leg position. Whether cruising down Main Street or winding down a scenic road, both of these baggers deliver the quintessential American V-Twin riding experience. Both baggers have batwing-style fairings that protect the rider’s torso and arms from wind and weather, and both have ultra-bright LED headlights to illuminate the road after dark. There’s a big difference, however, in terms of windscreens. The Harley has a dark-tinted shorty screen that is mounted at a flat angle atop the fairing, and below it is a vent that reduces turbulence. Thad, who is 5-foot-8, could see over the dark screen but complained about not being able to see through it; at 6-foot, I was able to see well over it. The Indian has a lightly tinted windscreen that has a steeper angle and is electrically height adjustable. When raised up, it creates a quiet pocket of air in the cockpit. Slowing these baggers down is the job of dual 4-piston front calipers pinching large 320mm discs plus a single rear caliper. Both offer serious stopping power, but the Harley has a more aggressive initial bite, and its rear 4-piston caliper can even feel grabby if the pedal is not applied with finesse. Cornering ABS is standard on both bikes and provides a reassuring margin of safety on dirty or slippery roads. From a distance these baggers look a lot alike, but upon closer inspection they reveal their differences. Coastal Cruising We packed in about 350 miles on our first day, logging more than 10 hours of riding and photography with a midday break for tacos in Atascadero. We ended up in Monterey, home to Cannery Row and a world-famous aquarium. As we walked to a brewpub for dinner, we swapped stories about past rides and shoots, memorable moments and embarrassing ones, and how we were much more reliant on ibuprofen and a good night’s sleep than we used to be. Like my dad used to say, it sucks getting old, but it beats the alternative. Both baggers have bright LED headlights, and the Harley’s turnsignals are integrated in its batwing fairing. The next day, we cruised along the rocky shore of Pacific Grove and down State Route 1 to Bixby Bridge, which was built in 1932. Sitting on the rugged coast just north of Big Sur, it’s one of the most photographed bridges in California (it’s on the cover of this issue). SR-1 south of Big Sur was closed due to a landslide, so we backtracked to Carmel, swung around to the Salinas Valley, stopped for our daily ration of tacos in King City, and then rode south to Fort Hunter Liggett, an Army base that allows access to Nacimiento-Fergusson Road, a beat-to-hell, lane-and-a-half-wide road that climbs over the Santa Lucia Mountains to SR-1. Riding through a dark canopy of trees, we hit hidden potholes and gravity cavities that bottomed out the suspension, scraped hard parts, and compressed our spines. The road is steep and treacherous and has steep drop-offs with no guard rails, and we absolutely love it. More of an adventure-bike road, for sure, but you ride the bike you’re on and make the most of it. When we stopped for gas or tacos or photos or more ibuprofen, Thad and I compared notes on the Harley and Indian. We were generally in agreement with Kevin Duke’s assessment of the Chieftain PowerPlus that “Indian has built one of the best baggers in America.” By most of the criteria used in a touring-bike comparison test – performance, comfort, ride quality, wind protection, technology, and convenience – the Indian beats the Harley. The Street Glide is lighter and more compact, which gives it sharper handling, but on the wide-open roads where big baggers spend most of their time, such an advantage becomes less important. The Dark Horse version of the Chieftain PowerPlus has a blacked-out powertrain, but other versions have bright work. The Street Glide is also available blacked-out. Just as the Indian Challenger did against the Harley Road Glide back in 2020, the Indian Chieftain PowerPlus wins by decision. However, there are less tangible qualities to consider. One is styling, which is in the eye of the beholder, but to us, the Street Glide looks more cohesive, more harmonious. Harley-Davidson has been making variations of this motorcycle since the batwing fairing debuted on the 1969 FLH Electra Glide, so it has had decades to get the formula right. That’s where the Milwaukee-Eight 117’s smoothness comes in too. Cruising down the road on a Street Glide just feels right. It always seems like a cop out to say “you can’t go wrong with either bike” at the end of a comparison test, but in this case it’s true. Harley and Indian are fierce competitors, so it’s no surprise that they’ve built similar bikes in an effort to attract similar customers: those who want an American-made V-Twin bagger for the open road. Some will choose purely based on brand preference, some will buy based on specs or price, and others will buy purely on emotion. None of them will be wrong. 2025 Harley-Davidson Street Glide 2025 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Base Price: $27,749 Price as Tested: $28,599 (Brilliant Red) Warranty: 2 yrs., unltd. miles Website: Harley-Davidson.com ENGINE Type: Air-/liquid-cooled, transverse 45-degree V-Twin, OHV w/ 4 valves per cyl.

Former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki is back in the limelight — but, not for a good reason. During an appearance on the ‘I’ve Had It Podcast’, Psaki went after Vice President JD Vance and his family. Psaki called VP Vance “scarier” than President Trump. She even went as far as suggesting that Usha is scared of her husband and offered to “save” her. Watch for yourself: Unhinged Jen Psaki is now smearing JD Vance, suggesting that his wife, Usha, wants to leave her husband and offers to “save” her. She also thinks JD Vance is “scarier” than Donald Trump@MSNBC should be ashamed to pay her salary.pic.twitter.com/RxNQs0p2Wn — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) October 21, 2025   Fox News provided a transcript: “I think the little Manchurian candidate, JD Vance, wants to be president more than anything else,” Psaki said. “I always wonder what’s going on in the mind of his wife. Like, are you OK? Please blink four times. We’ll come over here. We’ll save you. “And that he’s willing to do anything to get there. And your whole iteration you just outlined, I mean, he’s scarier in certain ways in some ways. And he’s young and ambitious and agile in the sense that he’s a chameleon who makes himself whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear from him.” The podcast episode’s description also referenced this joke, stating, “Usha Vance, please blink twice if you need help.” What a vile thing to insinuate. Rightfully so, Psaki is getting absolutely destroyed with responses online.

Chuang is the same judge who issued a preliminary injunction blocking President Trump and DOGE from dismantling USAID — he was overturned on appeal. Chuang also blocked Trump’s travel ban during his first term. He was overturned by SCOTUS. Fox News broke down some of these notorious rulings: The federal judge assigned to oversee the criminal case against former Trump national security advisor John Bolton is an Obama-era appointee who made headlines during both Trump administrations for halting or pausing some of his most sweeping executive orders. U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang, a 2014 appointee to the federal bench in Greenbelt, Maryland, is far from the only judge whose rulings have been viewed by Trump allies as unfavorable to the administration. Dozens of judges have issued temporary orders and injunctions during Trump’s second term aimed at pausing or blocking certain directives while courts consider their merits. But Chuang is noteworthy for being the judge who in 2017 issued a nationwide injunction blocking Trump’s revised “travel ban” from taking force. The March 2017 executive order suspended travel for 90 days from six majority-Muslim countries — Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — and paused the entry of asylum seekers for 120 days. Chuang ruled that Trump’s order was likely motivated by anti-Muslim sentiment, describing it as a revised “realization” of Trump’s “long-envisioned Muslim ban,” which he had floated repeatedly during his first presidential bid. “Simply because a decisionmaker made the statements during a campaign does not wipe them from the ‘reasonable memory’ of a ‘reasonable observer,’” he said in the injunction, which was quickly appealed to the 4th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. Shortly after Trump took office in January, Chuang again drew the administration’s ire when he blocked Trump and the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from continuing efforts to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development. In a 70-page ruling, he said the actions likely violated the U.S. Constitution “in multiple ways.” The preliminary injunction was the first to attempt to constrain DOGE, which at the time had already cut 98% of USAID staffers. The 4th Circuit also set aside Chuang’s ruling on appeal several weeks later, clearing the way for DOGE to continue its efforts to gut USAID. Chuang has also presided over lesser-known cases, including temporarily suspending in-person requirements for women who were seeking the morning-after pill during the COVID-19 pandemic. That decision was later reversed by the Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision. How is it that these “randomly assigned” cases always ended up in the hands of a Democrat judge? Magically, another high profile case assigned to a rabidly partisan judge. I bet nobody saw that one coming. — Hampton Comes Alive! (@LarryHampton) October 20, 2025 Strange, isn’t it? But don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll be fair… Your thoughts?

President Trump just directly addressed the monstrosity that is the Obama Presidential Library currently being built in Chicago.

It’s not too pretty.” Obama’s Presidential Library, for reference: pic.twitter.com/Qx17YfRWTW — Reagan Reese (@reaganreese_) October 21, 2025 Barack Obama recently shared a closer look at the building, which is expected to open next Spring: When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, it will be a hub for change — a place for people from all over the world to come together, get inspired, and take what they learn back to their own communities. https://t.co/gW6UCYBCAJ pic.twitter.com/U92thHbAUL — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) October 18, 2025 What an eyesore. Not only is the building hideous, but its construction has also been plagued with delays and issues that have skyrocketed the budget from $300 million to $850 million! A lot of those delays have been caused by Obama’s commitment to hiring DEI contractors for the project. Most people hate the new Obama Library, without even realizing that it is the perfect example of DEI over merit. The Obama Foundation selected an inexperienced black woman as lead architect, and committed that more than 50% of contracts would go to minority-owned businesses.… pic.twitter.com/xkyvv3OFzN — John LeFevre (@JohnLeFevre) October 19, 2025 Most people hate the new Obama Library, without even realizing that it is the perfect example of DEI over merit. The Obama Foundation selected an inexperienced black woman as lead architect, and committed that more than 50% of contracts would go to minority-owned businesses. The result: -> The design has been universally panned -> Years of delays -> $300 million over budget and counting -> A $40 million lawsuit from a black-owned concrete subcontractor alleging racial discrimination after being blamed for defective work like cracked slabs and exposed rebar. As President Trump said, you get what you ask for! The Washington Examiner provided more details on all the complications: Construction for the Obama Presidential Center has been ongoing since its groundbreaking ceremony in September 2021. Finally nearing completion, the project is expected to open in spring 2026. However, Trump knocked at his first predecessor’s commitment to empowering female and diverse construction workers. “He needs help,” he answered in response to a question from Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese about the building’s brutalist architecture that has been recently ridiculed online. “It’s not too pretty.” “It’s closed. It’s stopped. They ran out of money,” Trump continued. “They’re stuck, and he wanted only women and DEI to build it. Well, that’s what they got.” Earlier this year, the engineering firm responsible for building Obama’s presidential library was hit with a $40 million lawsuit filed by a black-owned concrete subcontractor over alleged racial discrimination. The subcontractor claimed the engineering firm’s professional criticism amounted to racially discriminatory practices that forced it to do extra work and put it on the verge of bankruptcy. The lawsuit drew national attention to the library’s diversity, equity, and inclusion goals for its construction contracts, which required at least 35% of subcontracts to be owned by minorities. Delays have plagued the project for the past four years, contributing to an estimated total cost of $850 million. When the project was first proposed, it was estimated to cost about $300 million. What a waste of time and taxpayer money for something so…unsightly. It doesn’t even look like a library. A lot of people are comparing it to something out of Star Wars: The Obama library is a cross between the Death Star and the Jawas Sandcrawler. pic.twitter.com/xe2zkXdSIW — Dave Rubin (@RubinReport) October 21, 2025 Obama’s Presidential Library is going to be Disney’s most expensive yet most realistic Star Wars attraction to date.
