Second one an Indian but it’s one of the more modern ones, nothing like the originals, of which the late Steve McQueen had a few. Indian went under in 53 the main reason? they put all their eggs (bikes) into the military effort basket whereas Harley did a kind of half and half to keep the civilians and the military happy, when the war finished they (Indian) had no bikes (civilian) to sell to the public customers where’s as Harley did and that’s what basically killed Indian off. However the name did live on and towards the back end of 90’s they started making them again, but it wasn’t the original company!!
Bit like Norton nowadays!!

Wake up at the back

A bit more stable and successful than Norton of recent years though, and with quite an extensive model lineup:

I think this FTR X RSD Super Hooligan with it’s semi-flat tracker look would be a hoot to ride.

I've got no time for the "usual" Harleys, but a mate had a Buell and he could go through a rear tyre in under 600 miles !
