Also I don't care where they make the Indian. It is a long dead company. Whatever they make will be a knockoff. It will not have Indian DNA.



So Ron, lemme see if I have this correctly here. With this above statement you're basically saying that unlike the Harleys which have been manufactured in Milwaukee since 1903, because the new Indian motorcycles, and even WITH this VERY nice lookin' push rod V-Twin that resembles the old Chiefs and Scouts engines maybe even more than do the latest H-D Twin-Cams to their Knucklehead or Panhead predecessors, that because these Indians won't be manufactured in some old antiquated factory in Springfield MA but instead in some modern factory in the American Midwest, that they "won't have Indian DNA"???

Well then, considering that if even ALL of the new Triumphs featuring DOHC designs and not push rods have been or were being made in a MODERN factory in Hinckley England and never have been made in some antiquated old factory in Meriden England, then I suppose your "DNA" argument would extend to the all newer Triumphs ever made as well, correct? And, this would be the case even IF they were ALL made in the land of Fish and Chips OR in the land which has given us the option of Chicken Pad Thai for lunch, CORRECT?!

(...and so, in either case, your argument makes this whole "Triumph Heritage" thing a misnomer or misconception also, and with the ONLY difference between these two examples being the length of the time lapsed between the "old" and the "new", CORRECT?!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
