When people ask me if my bike is an Indian I just point to my tank emblems......Question Answered!

Brainstorm!

When we decide to sell our precious Drifter, or pass on custody of our classic bike, we could get a War Bonnet tank decal that reads:

Indian
Tribute

That way we can be honest and still appeal to the brand conscious buyer  ;)
Hmmm, I can't get rid of the extra line between "Indian" and "Tribute"...

I had a different problem in one of the shows I entered.  They didn't know what category  to place my bike, so they put it in the full custom category.  No way can I compete with $80,000 bikes.

Well, you guys may have a Kawasaki... BUT... I have an "Indian-ish"....

Bahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I had the same problem at a show.  In the end, I won first place in the metric cruiser class, but they seemed mad at me about the whole thing.  Never went back......

because they can..........point in case

1980 stationed in Germany, and found out I could not import my Moto Guzzi Ambassador with sidecar to Canada due to safety issues. But I could go to the local US Army base and buy a Harley at half of what they were paying at the time in Canada. So I did..........and wow was I getting hammered by all the guys at work should have bought Metric, Harley sucks heard it all......
FAST FORWARD some 30 years...............................

I now ride a very unique bike a Kawasaki Drifter 800, a 99 to boot, only had 900 shipped to Canada, none to the US. So a decently rare bike. Now remember all them guys who some thirty years ago called me on owning a metric, what are they all riding.........
Their kids are grown they are gone from home, the parents now had disposable income, and so they are buying their first or second bike and it has to be a Harley, they also have all the clothing in orange and black, all the stickers on their cars, and trucks, they poop orange and black, and they all have the same sounding bikes the same colour, Black of course........
ok enough of my rant.......

Now, that's hilarious   ;D

For their uniqueness and flowing body lines inspired by the classic Indians, I don't see why anyone would spend 20G + on a new Harley or Indian............
