    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

    Sad, his factory was 30 miles from my house. Harley should have kept supporting him, but $$$ talks. Maybe someone else will follow his work, and buy the rights to his bikes and gear. How many times was "Indian" rescued?

    Too many for sure. However, sometimes when a company is rescued, it works out. I think "Triumph" has come back from the grave, to be a decent motorcycle company again. I would never trade my 6, for a Triumph, but they do make some nice bikes. iMO

    On that note, Polaris has done a nice job with Indian too.

    Yes, I do like the looks of the Indians, never rode one, so I can't compare it to any other bike. Indian and Triumph both did well under new ownership. Would be nice if Buell got that lucky.
