Where did the picture of the woman unveiling the GT come from?

It is from a South African unveiling I found on google. Miss Ushaka 2013 - Chloe Stone

uh oh, this thread is degenerating... 

[phoenixt]

Uh, I might have used the adverb invigorating instead.

No self respecting guy is going to buy a poster of hipster looking dudes and hang it up. They would be better off just having the bike alone.
I'm liking the way the South African PR worked it though.  Booth bunnies will ALWAYS sell.

Or maybe the one with the horse...

They be models, not Rockers, and they do look out of place. Ace Cafe was the birthplace, if any, of the Cafe Racer scene, therefore was picked as the primary launch point for the world outside India. I've followed the development of this bike since it was leaked a few years ago, and every move the company has made is part of their grand entrance into the world market. There will be a twin 'soonish', but I have a picture out of Cafe Racer Magazine of a RE 1000cc V twin. The guy made his own cases, etc. and offers a kit. I got a new scanner, I'll post a photo.

Anyone seen designer Glynn Kerr's idea of an Indian Enfield V twin? He has it using the Indian (the brand not the country) Thunderstroke V twin. Mmmmm, yes I would. If I had lots of money.

[Jellyroll]

Yea buddy, gobs o' torque, jam a 6-speed and belt drive on 'er and I'd snap one up.

[High On Octane]

Here's some irony for you.  Polaris makes the new Indians.  Polaris is owned by Eicher Motors.  Guess who else Eicher Motors owns?

To set the record straight.......
Royal Enfield made Indians
Indians make Royal Enfields
There were no Indians from India
Indian parts may fit Indians

I definitely like the photos with the chick.
I may be old, but I ain't dead!

There are V-Twin 1000cc engines and kits out there, which use the old Iron Barrel parts on them, and have custom crankcases and parts to make the V-Twin.

There is possibility for at least one of them to use UCE top ends, but it has never been tried yet.

I like the idea of a v-twin made from actual RE engine components as opposed to a new engine from another manufacturer

Well that clears it up...
