Default Indy?

Ok, I've searched and cannot locate the meaning of "indy". From the use on this board I'm guessing it means the dealer. If so, why? Sorrt for the simple question but it's driving me nuts (just like to pirate with the ships wheel attached to his zipper).

I was in the same boat, but think I figured it out! Independent mechanic.

Also being from the state of Indiana, we sometimes say Indy, because of the Indy 500 race.

Also if a person is from the city of Indianapolis, they say their from Indy.

So can be several terms..but the norm is a non Harley dealership shop..
