I've been covering the automotive and powersports industries for the last 15-odd years. Before that, I worked as a porter at a host of local car dealerships, and even as a salesperson for a whopping 4 months. I, honestly, couldn't take how deceitful the whole game was and just walked out one day and never looked back.
That's the context of this rant, as it's one born of the political-style attack ad that Indian Motorcycles launched against its main competitor, Harley-Davidson, and its response to the backlash that entailed from the general public.
