How many more times will I write this... Indian announces it's unveiling their new motor at Daytona.
Another attempt to lure buyers away from Harley-Davidson. In their own words...
"Indian Motorcycle, the original American motorcycle company, today announced its power-packed schedule of events for Daytona Bike Week 2013, which takes place March 9-16, 2013 in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Making History: The All-New Indian Motorcycle Engine Reveal - Saturday, March 9, 9 p.m., Dirty Harry's Pub, 705 Main St. Daytona Beach Bike Week will prove to be a pivotal moment in the history of Indian Motorcycle and a historic milestone in motorcycling. The long-awaited (?), completely new Indian Motorcycle engine will make its debut to members of the press and motorcycle enthusiasts from around the world. A special unveiling event will be held on Saturday, March 9 at 9 p.m. EST at Dirty Harry's Pub on Main Street in the heart of Daytona Beach. Special celebrity guest Mike Wolfe, host of HISTORY Channel's "American Pickers" series and diehard Indian Motorcycle fan, will be on-hand to join the celebration. No tickets are required for this chance to take part in history, but a fully charged camera is highly recommended. The public reveal promises a great time, some surprises, and plenty of American pride."
"...long-awaited..."? Who really even knew they were building a new one? "Special celebrity guest... and die-hard Indian Motorcycle fan"? Celebrity? Die-hard original Indian motorcycle fan but, die-hard fan of the current Indian Motorcycle? "...promises a great time..." If I don't have a great time, then what? You promised.
I hope they succeed, I really do.
