GILROY, Calif.

That address might just be the reason for this latest closure of Indian Motorcycles.

They should have followed the lead of another great American brand, Buck Knives, and
set up production in a place with a decent business climate.

I'm not bashing the grand old marque...and I hope Arnold, Jay Leno and other
prominent California motorcyclists knock some heads at the state legislature in Sacramento
and fix workman's comp and other issues that are killing off lots of CA businesses.

That address might just be the reason for this latest closure of Indian Motorcycles.

I'm sure that was one of the contributing factors.

But the buzz in the local (San Jose-Gilroy) motorcycle community is that a critical round of funding out of Boston dried up recently when investors saw what the Indian CEOs were paying themselves, along with an opulent Gilroy showroom.
