    Default I am kinda wondering...

    Sports franchises are renaming teams, companies are renaming products, to eliminate the appearance or perception of racism.

    Ok, in many cases that’s a good thing.

    I’m just wondering, has anyone heard what Indian Motorcycle might rename itself to?

    The nature of a thing cannot be changed by changing the name of it.

    Maybe we should be offended because BRP spelled SPIDER incorrectly.

    But it's the correct spelling of Spyder, ie. a roadster; an open 2 seater with emphasis on sporting appearance or character!! So the REAL Spiders out there, ie. eight-legged predatory arachnids, usually with poisonous fangs, would probably be offended if BRP spelled it with an 'i', cos our Spyders obviously don't have 8 legs!! Or fangs.... Or poison.... or...

    Maybe we should just call them 'motorbikes'.... . Oooh, hang on.... .

    I'm offended because BRP misspelled BURP. (I'm fond a good burp after a big meal.)

    We just simply call the Spyders/Rykers "Motortrikes" and if nobody got offended by that then we add that word to the Canadian English dictionary, heh.
