The "Chief Motorcycle Forum" is a " model specific " forum so now how will the Scout owners react ? Maby they will cry foul if you don't change the title or do you set up a " sub forum " so they also feel welcome ?
...

Interesting question.
As I see it, as it stands now this forum is directed to enthusiasts of the new Spirit Lake Indians, although others are certainly welcome.
I would hope that any future Indian models would also be welcome here.

    I'm with K2V2, I think this forum should represent the new Spirit Lake Indians because they are different than any of the previous Indians manufactured to date and have their own specific details and issues. However, we shouldn't exclude anyone from participating on this forum and should welcome all Indian owners past and present. As far as a name change, I don't think the new Scout owners, when they come, would object to the current name.

    The name change was just thrown out there because of another forum I am a member of some actually thought it would be a good idea to change something that need not be changed.
    As far as others welcome here I hope this forum keeps its doors wide open.
    Maby in the future there could be sub forums like other places I've been, like a Scout forum and so on.

    Back to the 1901 Club, I don't feel this forum here should need to promote or support such a club but if and when this proposed club gets going I will most likely join but also remain a member here. Two separate things IMO.

    PATCHES: First 1901 Indians from Polaris
    « Reply #117 on: December 17, 2013, 11:19:24 pm »
    1901 Patches is a FABULOUS idea1 but sorry, the patches I've seen so far are not so.... ah.... good. IMHO.... THE "1901 patch" should be a duplicate of the badge on the horn cover. I'll speak to my patch lady and see what she can come up with...... her work is very professional...... to be continued....

    Fang,

    Sorry, but from all the input we received the Indian head design was the moist popular. We tried to include what most people wanted on the patch, number, color, model and the overall design. It seems that you are campaigning for the Horn Patch on different threads here, but after considerable work had already been done on what most on this forum wanted. Please keep the discussion on the thread "1901 Patch" so that everyone can see your post and comment on the patch design.
