    So you want a 'Red Indian'?

    Them's the sort with the tomahawks, not the curries aye?

    Yeah, Id go for the red one as well. I reckon they look kinda cool. Wifey likes it too apparently, cos she just said Ohh that looks nice, and I know she didnt mean me.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    That Indian Chief Thunder Classic TM in black looks cool.

    I need Big Dave's job so I can take one for a strop.

    Well the marketing effort is slick...

    VERY slick and the video in the link is well worth the effort....

    However - recent history tells us that every effort to revive the Indian brand has ended badly for investors... Who knows - maybe this time....

    Marketing BS. Why didn't they just make the bike people want, the bike with real heritage - the Scout.
    This is exactly what Victory did with their Kore model.

    They can make as many replicas of the Munro special they want. It is all completely pointless if they only sell boats.

    May as well have Hyosung advertising 200 hp / 200 mph monster. While they sell mini-twins.

    the key differences between now and then are: Polaris: they are a massive powersports company already and they have the important second difference: bags o'dosh.

    What I have enjoyed (without being entirely convinced it is the right way to do it) is the H-D attack ads. All of them. Not sure that I approve of a product that bags the rival rather than saying "ours is better-er". having said that the marketing and advertising is slick. as fuck.

    and Hardly dont actually sell motorbikes really. they sell an image and a "ifestyle" (one of the reasons why, good as the bikes are I have never owned one. Never say never though). So maybe those ads are the way forward.

    I watch with interest. It should stand or fall on the kwality of the product.

    The local release was in Sydney with a big screen featuring a video feed from Sturgis. Nada bikes.

    We might see Press bikes in November.
