Title: Lee Munro
Post by: RansomT on June 28, 2017, 12:56:44 PM

Other than the very, very limited information released from Indian today;  has anyone heard about or know of the record attempt of Lee Munro sponsored by Indian?  The photo of the bike is sporting a MPS 1350 class tag.

and for them to sponsor a bike for Speed Week says something too.

I recently read an article, possibly in Cycle World, that interviewed the head of Indian, right after they shut down Victory.  He suggested that shutting down Victory would allow them to focus and grow their racing presence.  Drag Racing and Flat Track were, for the most part, named.
