I think it is truly amazing that such a large country like america did not produce more than 3 makes of motorcycle (harley, indian and excelsior) that were reconised the world over or produced in large numbers. Surley the technology was here to mass produce motorcycles, well it was for cars. Maybe there was not enough interest in motorcycles like there was say in england in the early 1900's or was it that the depression got in the way, but then the depression was really a world wide disaster so I count that out as an excuse so what else could have caused such a feeble turn out of motorcycle manufactures here in the USA.?
Has any of you americans got any theories, I mean there were at least ten or twelve large capacity motorcycle manufactures in england that I can think of. I would be really interested to read your views on this subject. Oh and please don't take this the wrong way I am not trying to insult the american people in any way I am just interested in what happened.
Yours sincerly Roland.
P.S. i have included another pic of my bike for you all.
