Not for long. An Albuquerque man is very close to resuming manufacture
of the Indian motorcycle, with some minor modifications. He's been going
about this for years (there's been a long fight over rights to the name &
design) but I saw another article about this just a few weeks ago in the
Albuquerque Journal, indicating it's now only a short matter of time before
Indians (The Motorcycle) are again on the market.
