Yup. The NCAA said William & Mary had to get rid of its logo, which contained two feathers. Good grief!

Seems every other culture out there reveres their warrior heritages.

The Samurai, Vikings, Conquistadores, Mounties, the Medieval Knight, Roman legionares, Greek Hoplites, Crocodile Dundee. And yet, we have to censor the use of our warrior tribes? Pretty ludacris and stupid if you ask me. We need to embrace history and look up to the spirit of those before us.

And yes, exhaust doesnt fit and blame harley for everyone loving forward controls even though they suck and put excess weight on your tail bone. But lets face it everyone seems to change out their exhaust right away

This would be my choice. The enduro aspect would be practical for me.

My only question, on both of these, DUC & INDIAN... when something breaks, can you fix it yourself? ....and if not, for what cost? Just a bit leary and looking ahead, way ahead. Also, not really sold on new tech... electronic, FI, ABS, ect... luv ol'school.

We all love ol'school since we are on a vintage bike site :laugh: I can't image that anything on either of those bikes is more complicated than on a contemporary car. Hell now you can get an app on your phone and plug into your cars OBD these days. Working on them just involves a different skill set. Also its pretty rare that FI or ABS get messed up in a car, I would suspect that same reliability would transfer over to bikes.

I like the Scout. I'm going to have to show it to my HD neighbor and see what he thinks.

100 horse powers and 72 torques should give it plenty of go! Muscle bike for sure. Like most, I'm not big on the exhaust, but the only people who are gonna see it are the ones you're passing, so just pass 'em faster so they don't get a good look at it. Problem solved. :woohoo:

Loose the brown seat...other than that it's not bad for V Twin cruiser. The riding position on those type of bikes make them feel a whole lot faster than they really are.
