On the 24th and 25th July 2009 the second Old Indian Never Die rally took place at Traquair House in Pebbleshire, Scotland. The Rally was possibly the largest collection of vintage Indian Motocycles…

The video is a trailer for the film “Old Indians Never, Ever, Die 2″.

The vote is over and the employees in York, PA accepted the contract, but almost half of the jobs at the plant will be lost.

Wednesday, the union employees at Harley’s plant in York, Pa., approved a seven-year contract that will likely keep the motorcycle assembly operations in York but will result in the loss of nearly half of the 1,900 jobs.

The vote was 1,587 in favor of the contract and 193 against it, according to the York Daily Record.

Now, with the approved contract, York keeps about half of its jobs. The terminated employees will be eligible for severance pay and a $10,000 buyout payment.

It looks like the plant will survive, costs will be cut and HD will move forward but that is quite a downsizing. Will it be enough to keep the company going?
