Decades later Indian and HD at it again flat tracking! Friend mine in HS (late 60's) had a Royal Enfeild Enterceptor. I had a 650 Triumph, but that R/E was gorgeous! Pic coming..

Gorgeous!
When they first came back from the dead they were known/seen as a cheap bike.
Their plan worked, they survived and they went racing.
Besides Indian, who else has done that recently?
That takes corporate stones.
Love it.
Take a risk and they will come.
BTW, the street legal Indian flat track bike is bad ass!
I want to ride one through down town New York w/the streets closed to traffic!
I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

Times are way faster now but watch Ayrton Sennas out of body qualifying run at Monaco back in the day.
Purely magical.
Was also a huge fan of F-1 bikes w/their 500cc 2 strokes before launch control, traction control etc.
The fast riders became one w/the bike.I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.

We forget how harder the cars were to drive years ago compared to today's cars.
Start at 1:50 and watch Senna's fighting the steering wheel. The drivers today don't have to wrestle with the car like they use to.
