[edit] Great

Manufacture of all products was halted in 1953.

Yep, for no reason everybody jest said “F*** it!”, and the company disintegrated. —12.72.71.51 00:22, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Chief

The article states that while nearing completion of the all new engine the company ceased prodution in 2003. The company had already completed a new engine with round cylinders like the original Indian v-twins, and had released them to some of their dealerships in the spring of 2002.

[edit] Replaced 101 Scout picture

To Cheesy Mike: The 101 Scout picture shows up fine to me, so I have reverted the page to undo its deletion. Respectfully, SamBlob 13:36, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

It didn't show up for me. Maybe there is a problem because the file has spaces in its name?--Cheesy Mike 13:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Or, better yet:

Can you see it now? Because it's there! Respectfully, SamBlob 13:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for restoring the article. This is what it looks like now, at least from where I sit. Respectfully, SamBlob 14:27, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Something still strange. The problem seems to be linked with the thumbnail size. At 250px I cannot see the image on the left, but at 300px I can see the image on the right. Very strange, have never come across this with other images. Will do some investigation.

That is indeed strange. I guess it could be a problem with the interaction between Wikipedia's system and yours. It doesn't seem to affect me; I see all of them just fine. Respectfully, SamBlob 23:22, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Do American names have umlauts?

I have never seen Oscar Hedstrom's name spelled with an umlaut. For that matter, I have never seen the name of any American spelled with an umlaut. Can the person who added an umlaut to the "o" in Hedstrom's name verify that there was an umlaut in it at the time he co-founded Indian, or is this just someone thinking it should be so without any proof?
