    ​@@mattshaggs2931 I'm not sure this can be a reflection here, HD didn't modify or assemble these engines? i.e. the teams buy a bike air-cooled so not run recent engine technology in comparison to the Indian WC, fit aftermarket parts the teams manufacture themselves or buy, build the engines themselves and its HD's fault they blow up??? I get it. I think HD must be the most hated marque available and most people pretty much no what HD's reliability rating is so i doubt they need constantly reminded and for HD to sort out. I don't know why some people cant enjoy what is going on here rather than ruining it for themselves, Its meant as a fun series. Instead wouldn't it be great for other teams to include baggers from other manufacturers in the series or maybe all Indian to suit the HD haters!

They have spent the last few decades assuming they are cool simply because of their name, so they have become arrogant and up themselves knowing full well that there is a certain demographic that will buy a HD just because of the name despite the shit quality.
