THE classic American motorcycle!
From 1902 to 1954, Indian made the ultimate American
bike. With a stable of model names like the Arrow,
Prince, Warrior, Scout, and Chief, and with a factory
in Springfield, Massachusetts shaped like a wigwam, you
had to love 'em.
In 1910, racer Jake DeRosier set a new 100-mile record on
his Indian at the Playa Del Rey board track in Los Angeles.
Jake ran out of gas on the 99th lap and lost about 5 minutes
while he pushed his Indian the last lap to the finish line,
and STILL beat the world record by almost a minute!

Many celebrities rode Indians,
including Hollywood actress
Jane Russell, giving new meaning
to the term, "Big V Twins".
1933 Indian Chief
Some folks actually think a Japanese
firm invented the 4-cylinder motorcycle.
This is a 1937 Indian Four, engine size
up to 80 cubic inches. Who says size
doesn't count?

The coolest thing about riding an
Indian was, you always got to see
real Indians, just like on the 1915
catalog cover. This was before they
learned how to spell "Motorcycle".
