Spaw!! Now, now, I like to think that motorcycles are cross-party (several in the case of U.K). In any case most Indians were painted red which seems to my untutored eyes the universal colur of socialsim :-) Didn't Hunter S.Thompson (no relation), in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas write about a Vincent Black Lighning (as oposed to the BSA Lightning which he no doubt rode too, although not at the same time...he's good but not that good). This is a fun thread.
