I Was Hacked. Sorry!
As many of you saw in the last few days, random links on the website and/or daily email would take you to nonsense spam sites. It was very annoying and I sincerely apologize for the hassle. Fixing it was over my head from a technology standpoint so I hired a company to clean it all up, and according to them …

I try to pass along interesting motorcycle industry jobs when I hear about them, and this internship definitely qualifies for those of you that are in your junior or senior years of college (or recent graduates) who are looking to “work in social media” (now that’s a combination of words I never thought would exist when I was in undergrad). …
Recall Intermission – Indian’s 2018 Lineup
I know I normally don’t cover recalls, but this one made me laugh. Indian just announced that they need to bring back 3,341 bikes built between Oct. 25, 2016 to Nov. 17, 2017 (but sold as 2018 models) because they’ll turn themselves on. Sexy.
