Apologies for the dodgy video: no signal. Have some pics of Alba Customs open day instead.
Stunning dealership, and think that I've got to take something out for a blast!

Apologies for the dodgy video: couldn't hold a signal for Facebook Live.
Apologies if the main website goes down over the next few hours: I've moved the hosting and everything seems to be okay but we'll only know for certain once the DNS records catch up with themselves.
News that Indian's largest collection of accessories to date has been created for the FTR1200 followed on from its official worldwide launch in Cologne. It adds a whole new dimension to the relatively plain base model – setting it up as either an unassuming street sleeper or a blank canvas – giving you options if you fancy using the money you've saved to express your taste and personality in your new Indian.

Around the time when this issue is being printed, Burt Munro’s Great Nephew, motorcycle racer Lee Munro, will be at Bonneville competing in the MPS-G class with a streamlined Scout dubbed “The Spirit of Munro”. Developed with Indian Motorcycle’s engineering team, lead by Wayne Kolden and Dan Gervais, it is an extension of last year’s programme to pay tribute to Burt’s achievement in 1967: fifty years after he set a land speed record on the 1920 Scout that he bought new.

The new standard for the American motorcycle. Watch the reveal of the live from Cologne, Germany.
See it here: https://www.indianmotorcycle.com/en-us/indian/flat-track-race/ftr1200/
Less than a year after the FTR1200 Concept was revealed at EICMA 2017, this is Indian's street tribute to the FTR750 made real and it is stunning. Not only in its style, but its performance and function, because this isn't just a Scout in a set of dirt racing leathers, this is potentially a new dawn for sportier American motorcycles.

Apologies for the delay in bringing this issue to you: we have been battling with the new GDPR regulations, as well as setting up a new publishing company to take Spirit of 1901 forward with its sibling title, American-V. This has significant implications for everyone except those who have renewed their subscriptions direct – or who bought subscriptions direct – because we are unable to identify existing subscribers who got a free subscription courtesy of Indian Motorcycle because, under the new regulations, Indian are unable to share that information with us.

Finishing a couple of inches shorter than the stock pipes, at blacked-out aluminium caps bearing the Rinehart Racing legend, these 3-inch slip-on mufflers flow freely but are chrome ... we have seen a pair in black, with silver aluminium caps, but have no advice on who is selling them yet. This is obviously important for Bobber owners because the unique heat shields on the headers are black, but you can always get round that with heat wrap if you are going for a performance look.

Scout, Scout Sixty or Bobber, this Hi-Output Gr***de 2-into-2 system will transform the look, sound and performance of your Indian middleweight. They are not particularly new – they first shipped in September 2015, so predated Spirit issue #1 – but they are worth mentioning here because the muffler of the new Bobber has come in for some criticism. You need to know that this is not a pair of slip-on mufflers but a complete system. [ 146 more words ]

Lee Munro Racing
Todays run was a step forward albeit a small step. We have clocked our fastest run so far on the at 191.52mph.
We have made the bike a little narrower for our next run tomorrow...2 inches each side at my knees. We will play with tyre pressure to reduce drag and hopefully we can push her up there abit!
Thanks everyone for the inspiration and comments...still more to come,we will keep on trying to find more pace!
