Where's the Love?
I remember a GoFundMe was in place like 2 years ago for this guy ... raised .. maybe a few hundred bux? Now Polaris (Indian) is the 'bad guy' ... I know this because.. well.. this. How many shirts sold for the cause ... single digits? Double digits?
There's always a story out there. Someone got wronged by corporate . They LOVE the brand (of course they didn't ride a Vintage... or a Gilroy ... or a KM... ). Life isn't fair. I've been watching this whole fiasco from a distance. Seen the attacks. See the support of a faltering half assed event.
Woah is Me? Man up .. move on... Get it together and ... RIDE!
Me? I've got a bike from ALL the generations. They are awesome. The newest Challengers Rule the Road. Gotta love the Brand ... js ;)

Let me be clear on the facts:
Art has never stolen money. I have known him for five years, attended IBW in 2022 and 2023, and I have only ever seen him give his time, energy, and personal resources to keep this event alive for the community.
The GoFundMe you sneer at was a genuine attempt to help me after I suffered a seizure in 2023, shortly after returning from IBW. It raised very little, but the intent was sincere.
The “Polaris” shirts were my idea, to try and raise some funds for my ongoing legal battle with Polaris/Indian over serious, well-documented faults and poor service. They were not a scam or some money-making scheme.
My issues with Polaris/Indian are not imaginary. They are backed by years of evidence, legal correspondence, and expert opinion.
Your constant attempts to twist facts and paint honest efforts as deceitful say far more about you than they do about Art, myself, or anyone else connected with IBW.
It is frankly sad that you dedicate so much time to tearing people down across an ocean instead of improving your own outlook and mental health. The motorcycle community should be about support, friendship, and riding — not bitter vendettas and character assassinations.
