 * New article moved from mainspace a couple days ago, 2315 chars
 * QPQ done
 * Images are PD
 * Hook is sufficiently brief, and verified
 * Article is cited inline
 * Sources look sufficiently reliable. The book seems a little light on the scholarship end, but it isn't an essential source for too much of the article.
 * Sources verify my spotchecks of the article, and duplication detector found no significant copying or paraphrase


 * Issues/Suggestions
 * For the hook, it might make it more interesting to give Indian's reason, making Harley-Davidson's decision look foolish
 * ALT1 = "... that in 1917, the year Indian discontinued its Model O flat-twin motorcycle (pictured) because of poor sales, Harley-Davidson introduced a flat-twin motorcycle?" What is your opinion of this hook?
