		Some may ride motorcycles just to stretch their gas dollars, but to me this is just a pleasant incidental.
		Given that these devices last for years, the number of motorcycles on the road, the relatively low additional cost of using the figure "8" devices, and the benefit for bicyclists, it really is inexcusable that this band aid approach is being used as a substitute for using the correct devices.
		Part of the appeal of motorcycle riding is certainly the ability to be part of the motorcycle community.

	Modified
		Actually Albert Crocker used to work for Indian so resemblances between Crocker and Indian parts (tanks, Scout-like forks, aluminum primary cover and generator drive location) are not just coincidence.
		While some parts were obtained by Al Crocker from Indian and Harley dealers, it is not true that the bike was a combination of Indian and Hog parts.
		As is typical of the Indian management of the 1940's, and Indian's own failing finances, they turned their noses up at a golden opportunity and looked a gift horse in the mouth, just as they did in 1949 when they had the chance to power new Chiefs with Vincent engines.
