Motorcycle Riders?

And it looks great, you just dont see many on the road.

They seem to be more popular and common in the UK. Several companies reproducing parts for them over there. Amazingly, many parts for them are still available OEM. I’ve purchased several less common replacement parts trying to future proof it just in case I need them if they become unavailable.

That is surprising to hear, You will be glad you bought those parts down the road.
We will see old Harley Knuckle, Pan and Shovel head parts start to dry up after my generation kicks off. Some old hoarder seems to croak every few months and NOS stuff hits the market.
I bought a pickup load of nos Pan parts from a retiring mechanic about 20 years ago. I'm glad I did.

Guess the Indian Twin has too much HP for the HD crew.

Maybe so, the reality is. All jokes aside. you ride a good looking motorcycle sir.
You really do.
Now to hurt your feeling.

Harley produced a 82 hp long push rod 750 in 1969-70 as a production motorcycle. Those vintage 750's are still winning races.
Thats gotta be a bit embarrassing to get beaten by 50 year old engineering and manufacturing processes.

Let us know when this Indian company wins as many AMA Grand Championships as Harley Davidson has already won. I don't think it will happen with Indian tending not to stay in business long enough to win that many races.
