Anyone watching this series ? Quite entertaining , them dastardly Indian company men where seriously crooked .
A bit of dramatic licence to add a bit of excitement I think. Indian were there first Indian had the world motorcycle speed record in 1902, and a racing V-twin by 1903; that was the year Harley was formed.
And Indian came 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the IOM Senior TT in 1911.
Nothing I've read suggests they were crooked 'at the coal face', but there were certainly some issues at board level by 1913.

Have they mentioned LIttleport near Cambridge yet?
Harley's dad was born there (useless fact of the day )
I haven't watched any of it yet, may try and catch up though
The Davidsons came from near Brechin, Scotland. Some folks recently restored the 'family home', and it's kind of mecca for Harley riders if they're visiting Scotland.Harley's dad was born there (useless fact of the day )
