A bunch have gone by the wayside for various reasons...

Titan (with price tags of $35K-$50K, I can see why)
American Iron Horse
CMC (California Motorcycle Co....they also built the replica Captain America and Billy bikes and had a hand in one of Indians resurections)
Indian..although they're back AGAIN
Ultra
and the list goes on. Plus, Indian Larry's dead and Billy Lanes's in prison.

I don't know for sure, so take this for what it's worth, but I heard that part of why Titan closed down was because the owner was killed or is in prison or something.... I heard that like fourth-hand, so don't kill the messenger....
