They had gone out of business again in 2003, but according to the Indian 
Motorcycle website (http://www.indianmotorcycle.com/) the guys who 
revived Chris-Craft are taking a run at it with plans to release a 2008 
model.

 From a PC perspective, it seems that the term "Indian" is used without 
shame or anger by many if not most American Indian nations -- so I don't 
think we have to give up the word to the language police. I have to 
admit I'd used "Native American" for years but switched back to 
"American Indian" after helping a friend with his reproductions of 
Curtis prints from the early 1900's (http://www.curtisprints.net/, NFI). 
I found that Native Americans referred to themselves as American 
Indians, so I figured I ought to do the same.
