- June 11, 2017, 09:19:58 AMIt's amazing what you can learn about an Indian bike talking to a competitive dealer. I don't know if they just can't tell the truth or if they trust everything they hear and repeat it without checking it out. I wheeled into the local Harley dealer and was just casually looking at the huge inventory of used bikes lined up around their building. I attracted a crowd without even wanting to. Everybody including customers and salesman was eyeballing my Chieftain. One of the salesman didn't seem to appreciate the attention the bike was getting so he begin to inform the lookers on why they shouldn't buy an Indian. He did admit that it looked good but he said it's not American made. Claimed the motor was made by Yamaha. I thought it was rather funny when one of the onlookers said well I think Yamaha makes a more reliable motor than Harley. I just listened. My dad used to tell me that ignorance ruled the world. I'm about to believe he was right.
